Also considering how many unopened boxes are still around, I have to wonder how many of these are still in packs.

Hey Doc, we don't know. IF they're like me, someone or someones might own more than one copy.

The exact same thought was in my mind while reading your post. Especially with junk wax era boxes of Score an Donruss. Did Donruss ever do anything like this from 1988 to 1992? If so with the amount of glut out there box wise it is legitimately possible any Donruss stuff is still ALL unopened.
Love the "Fun Cards" stuff keep it coming!

Love the "Fun Cards" stuff keep it coming! Donruss did the Elite and Legends autographs in 1991 and 1992. The biggest thing with these Score inserts and the Donruss Elite and Legends inserts is that with so many boxes made, the overall odds were around 1 in several cases, so you would have to buy A LOT to even have a good chance at landing one.

Okay, so now I need to buy a few cases of 1992 Score .... That might be like finding a needle in a haystack

True, true. But it doesn't mean they'll give them up without a heavy duty price to pay.

I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

Yes, I know that's right. I wouldn't mind having one to sell to get me some BGS 9.5 Nolans.

Hey, not to horn in on your thread, but Howzabout the 1996 Pinnacle Starburst cards ... I only have one, but if they all look THAT cool, I'd want more.
Here's the one I have ... Wil Cordero .... They look more impressive in person

I was just about to add today's card, but I'll give you the Starburst one for today, as those were great cards. Great choice for fun photo too. I'll update with another new card tomorrow.

Sorry 'bout that. Just found it and thought Cordero 'copping a squat' was pretty funny. Really hope you didn't mind.
