Wish me luck I just bought a 1996 Sporflix retail box.
So on my quest to getting every 1992 to 1996 Derek Jeter card I have found alot out. So the only way to get the 1996 Sportflix Rookie Jumbos #6 Derek Jeter is out of the retail boxes as they give you a 5x7 Rookie Jumbo. So I have finally found one of those boxes on ebay so I bought it. Now there is 8 cards in the Jumbo set which gives me about a 12.5% chance of getting the card. I figured thats better than waiting for the next one to pop up on ebay. Now I just need to wait for the box. But if anyone finds anymore of these boxes please let me know as I would probably buy more in hopes to get double or my first if I don't get it out of this box.

Good luck. I love to open some of those old school boxes sometimes. I busted like a 1993 box of topps a few weeks ago because I was bored and had them in the closet for the last 15 years.

Good luck. I didn't like those cards back in the day. Now I think they look even worse. I am kinda surprised that a box of that stuff would still go for what you paid. Hope you pull that Jeter.

That Jeter is the main reason I believe its that much as its almost 3 time more than what I paid for it and seeing there are only 8 of the Jumbo's you have a decent chance of pulling it and you still have a chance at a nice Artist's Proof card.
