1990s breaks (Metal Universe, Thunder, Z-Force, Ultra, Premium, Finest)
A couple of nice inserts (i.e. the Jordan and Marbury) saved me from my worst nightmare. I could have sold these packs for a lot of money but chose to open most of them. Overall, I was disappointed by the number of hits, e.g. no Autographics, no PMG, no Raves, etc. However, I got these packs for a super-cheap price, so I probably broke even. Not to mention, I had great fun opening the packs (I'm not sure I could have lived with myself if I sold them!).

My God, those Grizzlies uniforms are the most hideous things ever created. A close runner-up to the Cavaliers and Rockets unis as well...

I was looking up all the potential hits to see which packs I was most interested in and I remember doing the numbers on hitting that Quick Strike Jordan and thinking "no way in hell I'll hit that!" Very nice hit. I'd love to acquire it, though I highly doubt I have enough. LMK!
I collect Michael Jordan, Mitch Richmond, and Ohio State players (football and basketball) in OSU gear. I strongly prefer 90's-era cards and use newer cards primarily for trade bait!

Before I opened the packs, I watched a few YouTube videos showcasing people's Jordan collections. The one card I really liked was the Quick Strike card. And, like you, buckunteer, I figured I stood no chance of getting it.
It's really something special in person. The middle part is transparent and the light reflects off the rest of the card beautifully. ![]()

Nice pulls I really like the 90's cards that rodman big ups is a nice card. I am interested in the jordans and the garnett check me please and LMK if you see anything. I have a few cards from some boxes I broke before I came to work that I didn't have a chance to put in my org yet.

depending on how much you spent, the Jordan Quick Strike typically sells between 50-70. It seems like you got a lot of inserts, but nothing that would be good today.....Imagine though pulling some of those inserts during the actual year the cards came out!

RE: 1990s breaks (Metal Universe, Thunder, Z-Force, Ultra, Premium, Finest)
Yeah, I broke even in terms of what I had invested in these packs. I guess I should feel happy (after all, many people lose money when they purchase packs/boxes).
The problem is, I could have tripled my money by re-selling all the packs! Instead, I caved into temptation! ![]() Here are some other pictures: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

RE: 1990s breaks (Metal Universe, Thunder, Z-Force, Ultra, Premium, Finest)
any idea what you're looking for for that quick strike MJ? I was going to attempt to put a trade together but it's not in your org yet. I can't do a 1-for-1 though b/c I don't have anything comparable, but I would certainly trade in your favor to attempt to compensate. PM me or LMK on here. Thanks!
