I define the 'junk' era, as the time when cards were ridiculously plentiful. To a fault.
I was a 10-box-per week buyer from 1984 to the end of the decade. The first junk wax box for me: 1985 Topps. Then 1986 Topps, then 87 Topps and Donruss. 88-92 everything. 1993 marks the end of the junk era, again from my observation. 1993 Score is the first set in many years that I wanted to purchase. Are there any 1993 or newer boxes that went/still go for $5? 1990 was the absolute worst year, all-time, for junk cards. All crap. Maybe that's why we all long for the Frank Thomas NNOF. It's the only card from that year that is any fun. Have you looked at the photo of him up close? Very low quality. |
