Pack Break: 1993 Topps Series 1
Written by Steve on March 5th, 2010
I’ve been opening a lot of packs from 2008 and 2009 lately and I’d like to get back to opening more old wax again. I wrote a quick pack randomizer spreadsheet function that will randomly pick an old wax pack for me to break whenever I feel up to it. Today’s random old wax pack is 1993 Topps Series 1:
- #279 Todd Burns
- #158 Kevin Koslofski
- #196 Pat Kelly
- #199 Junior Ortiz
- #253 Jose Guzman
- #74 Steve Buechele
- #212 Rick Reed
- #316 Dave Nilsson
- #219 Bip Roberts
- Gold #387 Devon White
- #203 Bernard Gilkey
- #173 Andres Galarraga
- #266 Rene Gonzales
- #171 Doug Jones
- #311 Jay Howell
Wow, ripping a pack of old-school Topps junk wax really puts card collecting into perspective. No autos, relics, serial numbers, gimmicks, rainbows, refractors, or any of those “mojo hits” a lot of collectors look for these days. Just 14 regular base cards and a gold card.
Back in 1993, I would have been really happy to get a Devon White gold card. He was a 30-year-old 5-time Gold Glove winner and 2-time All-Star at the time. Unfortunately for Devon, 1993 was pretty much the peak of his career.
