Yeah, I really did. I understand there is a huge risk for that when I buy these boxes.

1994 Score Jumbo...didn't pull the requested card. :(
330 card set, overall break score 6/10, fun break, fun to sort, lots of variety for inserts

Lots of gold though:

Box and wrapping (on my Amish Quilt just for Glen)

Its hard to take pictures when your cat is as into this project as you are...She kept jumping on the couch. I had to pause my project to run to the school for my son. When I got back, she was laying on some of the cards.

4 boxes incoming...next week should be a good one.

Awesome thread Josie! I may have missed it, but what's the reasoning behind the choice for 1994 products?

no10pin 04-08-2025 09:23 PM

Love seeing those old time serial numbers. I wonder if really low ones or really high ones would bring a premium.

Great cards Josie, good luck with your next break!

I was still focused on baseball and basketball as a kid in 94. I wanted to get the true experience. Its been really fun so far. Thank you.

:DDid a 4 box break for my birthday...

First up:

Collector's Edge Excalibur, 75 card set, almost put together a complete set from this box. Only missing #41. Got the only box available on ebay. Every card has a quote on the back about the player made by Sir Dick Butkus. Fun break. 8/10:

Flickr is blocked at work so I can't get a larger pic but the "fringe" bottom may be a packaging defect where they sealed the pack and it hit the card edges.

So many memories of ripping wax in high school in this thread! Lots of fun seeing them ripped again!

And happy belated birthday!

Skybox Impact, 300 card set, won an action on ebay for this and was one of my cheaper boxes so far. Would have love to see more inserts and broader card designs. Overall still a fun break. 6/10

I know the break wasn't terribly exciting, but Impact was my favorite set from that year in terms of design. Clean, simple, and sharp looking. I also really loved the out of focus/frosted look of the stuff in the background, really makes the player pop on the card!

I agree about the stuff in the background. I saw several cards that had phenomenal backgrounds. It does have a nice overall clean look. I will try to find some of my favorites this weekend. Thank you for commenting.

Amazing that photography was better 20 years ago

[QUOTE=cruiserdaddy7;19918453]Amazing that photography was better 20 years ago[/QUOTE]

Well, I don't think the photography was better, I think the [I]editing[/I] was better. For some reason, instead of trying to get photos from distances that look like what we would see if we were standing there in real life, card companies think that they need to use the 300 megapixel cameras that capture every stitch at 100 yards and incorporate it into the image. Our eyes wouldn't see that, no matter how good your eyes are, so the pictures they use now are way too sharp in detail (even when scaled down to the size of a card) and the pictures look way too sharp and over saturated. While this makes amazing photos of things like landscapes, astronomical bodies, etc, having all of that extra detail in the photos make them look fake. So, a little less focus on the minute details would make it look far more realistic and "better" to our eyes :)

Signatures, college release, auto in every pack, very minor bricking, 60 cards set. I didn't see if I collected the whole set, only 12,500 boxes released

Fleer, 480 card set, lots of Eagles, pretty deep in regards to team rosters, lovely inserts, Got a hot pack which is always fun, minor to moderate bricking, depending on the pack

A Scoring Machine and a Living Legends in the same box - I think you really beat the odds on that box! Really big name players too.

Of course that would have been worth a lot more back in 1994. I really liked that Fleer set.

It was a fun break!

caulaflour 06-17-2025 07:22 AM

I'm super late to this party but wow: what an amazingly fun project and I know I speak for everyone when I say how grateful I am that you're sharing this with us in words, in pics (the packs, Kipper, everything!) and just the whole experience on such a wholesome level that takes us back to easier, more innocent days.

This - for nearly all of us - was before life got a lot harder and it represents that carefree time. I was in 8th and 9th grade in 1994 and remember many of these sets very well and had some of these cards too, as I was near the end of my temporary hiatus (because high school and girls and sports lol). But I am going straight to my LCS when I get back to town to see if he has anything left you need!

Thank you! I have struggled to track some stuff done. Please let me know if they have anything. That would be wonderful if they did.

Yeah, I was 13 in 1994. This has been fun and Kipper is having as much fun as I am with this.

JosieD 07-03-2025 05:35 AM

Sportflics, this was a lot more fun than anticipated. The cards are in great shape, I got an artist proof. The base cards each have two images of the players.

Yeah, sportflix and similar cards were all the rage in the late 90s. I still like them, even though they're no longer a big thing.

And, some of those rookies LOL Heath Shuler, Sam Adams, LeShon Johnson. I had forgotten how terrible that 1994 draft was overall.

davz13 07-03-2025 08:18 AM

Fun break! Loved the lenticular cards
