Cheap Wax Wednesday Box Breaks: 1996 Score Board Lasers Football
This week’s break is another box from my recent Black Friday purchase — 1996 Score Board Lasers Football. After opening it, I knew I had to share it soon. This was a product I had never seen before and I am definitely glad that I took the chance and ordered it.
“Even our wrappers are collectible!” Now, what does that mean? Score Board had a really nice wrapper redemption program where collectors could send in their empty wrappers for prizes. Can you imagine if more sports card companies did this today (Rittenhouse has their Rewards program where you can send in wrappers to gett exclusive cards)? Online group breakers would make a killing on these. There were some great prizes to be had there!

Lastly, the Reggie White card back. I do appreciate that they used a second full-size image.
I was definitely happy to pull an autograph in this one. They’re not easy pulls either, at just 1 in every 150 packs. It didn’t hurt that it was a Patriots player (my favorite team. I know, I know.) There are no duds on the autograph checklist for this product:
Die-cut autographs were found just once in every 930 packs. Maybe I will get to pull one of those next time!

Very nice break – good pull with the Bledsoe auto.
