Here's a look at a pack of a product I had been trying to find for many years.
Many moons ago, I purchased an LSU team set of these at a card show. In one of my (many) moves, it disappeared.
I was distraught. Then, miraculously, I found a box of these. Talk about make my day.
These were distributed 36 packs per box, 12 cards per. Autographs of a few former SEC stars were inserted at an easily attainable 1:12,960 packs.
The pack:
#113 Kevin Butler (The former Bears kicker!)
#379 Jackie Sherrill... Jackie was the coach when I went to Miss. State. He was a very good recruiter. A little too good of a recruiter, apparently...
#325 Josh Cody
#312 Herman Weaver
#273 Dawson Pruett
#229 Glen Collins
#205 Tyler LaFauci... I believe he owns some businesses here in Baton Rouge.
Here are the backs of the cards, for reference.
# 152 Warren Bryant
#131 George Patton (I love that movie...)
#73 Jack Youngblood
#42 Monk Gafford
#3 Keith McCants
Order Card... Apparently, you could order sets of current players in a similar design from four schools (Auburn, MSU, Ole Miss and Tennessee.) I bet those are tough to get. That Tennessee set could probably be worth some some coin.
I really like these, but I'm also a huge SEC fan. The cards are okay, at best. The card stock is really thin (think '96 or '97 Fleer Baseball), and the set is lacking some star power, but still pretty cool, for what it is.
