kids stuff

I got my 1992 Topps Kids box in today. I won it on eBay for the high price of $8.50 plus shipping. This is a fun set to collect, and I did when they came out originally. I was ten and I would rush down to the locally owned market and buy up some packs. They were 35 cents a pack and contained 7 cards and a stick of gum. Thankfully the gum was wrapped so it didn't ruin the cards. Ok so 48 packs, 7 cards per pack equals 336 cards total, and with a 132 card set, I should get at least 2 and a half sets right? We'll see. Here are a few examples;




These are cool, no? Apparently Tom Henke has a robot arm. This is news to me Mr. Cyborg pitcher. I always liked this set and am glad to have it in my collection once again. I did manage to complete one full 132 card set. I came around less than 20 or so for a second. I guess that's not too bad for Topps in the early 90's.
