1991 Upper Deck Low Wax Box Rip

1991 Upper Deck Low Wax Box Rip

i picked this box up a few months ago at a show for $10. Cheap wax is just too good to pass up at shows!

This was Upper Decks first baseball release for the 1991 season. After the huge success of their 1990 "High Number" Series
that featured randomly inserted Non and Autographed "Heroes" cards of Reggie Jackson, they continued the same subset
in this release featuring Nolan Ryan in both signed, and unsigned copies of "Heroes" cards

The box was an OK time to open. i dont like how Upper Deck had the cards in a mish-mosh order in the packs. Cards upside down,
mixed with backwards, and correct leads to a frustrating pack ripping experience.

i did not score a Nolan Ryan Auto (as they are approximately 1:10,000 (yes, ten THOUSAND) packs.

Here are some of the better cards that were in the box:

i did enjoy taking a stroll down memory lane as i did open my share of these back in 1991

Thanks for the read,

  2. Those are really nice cards. The photography was fantastic, especially for it's time. Still I'm always coming across cards from those first years that I love seeing.
