Card Collecting 6: Fairfield Boxes

So I made another trip to Walgreen's and came away with two Fairfield baseball boxes and two Fairfield football boxes.

   1989 Topps K-Mart Dream Team #17 George Bell Front

1987 Fleer Award Winners #35 Ryne Sandberg Front   1988 Score #500 Reggie Jackson Front

1988 Score #5 Mark McGwire Front   1988 Score #575 Nolan Ryan Front

The pack in each baseball box was 1988 Score.  There were several of those Fleer Award Winners.  1988 Fleer was well-represented, with the best being Robin Yount and Lou Whitaker.  1988 Donruss and 1991 Donruss.  1981 Topps, but with bad centering and no star talent.


2020 Leaf Draft #100 Brett Favre Front   


1991 Pro Set #28 John Hannah Front    1991 Pro Set #21 Roger Craig Front 
     
1991 Fleer #332 Clyde Simmons Front   1986 Topps #269 Ron Jaworski Front

2018 Donruss #114 Deshaun Watson Front   2006 Donruss Elite #73 Randy Moss Front 

1995 Pro Line #215 Jim Kelly Front   1990 Fleer #236 Mark Clayton Front

1991 Score #279 Cortez Kennedy Front   1994 Topps #205 Junior Seau Front

2013 Topps #46 Patrick Peterson Front   1981 Topps #423 Pat Thomas Front

The pack in each football box was 2020 Leaf Draft.   Pro Set doesn't have much trade value, but I like their special cards.  A couple big-time Eagles, for the fan in me.  There was a Topps DeSean Jackson as well.  There were several good 2018 Donruss cards, but they're mostly retired players: John Elway, Tony Gonzalez, etc.  I respected Moss's game, but was never a fan. So this baby went straight to my trader / contest prize box.  Pat Thomas was a two-time Pro Bowler.

Thanks for stopping by.
