I figured today, why not show a slightly different kind of pack? These box topper packs were one per hobby box of 2003 Flair, and each one contains a very oversized jersey card, with possible autographs and patches.
First, we have the checklist...
There's some pretty sweet cards and combos available here, especially for a product like this.
Can my card live up to that buildup? Let's see...
Card MP-SSJ, MARK PRIOR! Yeah, not exactly that jumbo patch of Derek Jeter, is it? However, I still think this is an incredibly cool card. How many jersey cards have two pinstripes like that? Let's see the back too...
If you can't tell, this card is indeed serial-numbered. See that little "0778/1195" in the upper left, in that big empty space? Yeah, that's it. It's a lot less obvious in person. You'd think they'd use bigger serial numbering for such a big card, but oh well. By the way, a scan doesn't do this card justice. It measures about 8" by 5".
Well there you have it! A cool box topper from a good forgotten product. Here's to hoping (at least I am) that box toppers such as this can one day make a comeback...
