1980-83 Cramer Baseball Legends
I wanted something a bit "out of the mainstream" for my first box.
I picked up a 1980-83 Cramer Baseball Legends box. 36 packs of 8 cards each.
I got what I think is a pretty good deal on it too, paying $34.95 delivered.
It's an interesting set, produced over a number of years by a dealer who would eventually start Pacific Trading Cards.
The packs are old school wax packs, and while the condition of some of the cards wasn't great (probably don't pull a lot of PSA 10's out of boxes like this), there were enough in NrMt+to make me happy.
Can't complain about the collation, either. I got two full 124 card sets out of the box.
I am listing the two sets (and wax) box on eBay along with some of the dups.
Two things this starting making me think are that small sets are the way to go for this adventure, and I may be able to break even or may a little reselling the busted boxes...not looking to get rich, but maybe enough to buy more boxes.
Oh, and my 7 year old, who's not into baseball but does collect tractor and Pokemon cards, has decided he LOVES opening packs, so now it's a family adventure.
