DOLLA DOLLA TREE Y'ALL!

Here is some packs I got from Dollar Tree quite a while back now.  Finally getting around to showing them off.


My mom threw these in the cart.  I would have passed if I felt the Bowman cards in it.  At any rate, its not a bad start with Alomar.  It's amazing how many of his cards wind up in these repacks.  I mean he's a Hall of Famer.  I'll keep the Felix Jose since he's a ONCE ROYAL.


A plethora of 93 Score makes up for the Bowman, and a Cecil to boot.  Throw in a Sweet Lou and another ONCE ROYAL Don Slaught, and this was a good pack.


She also grabbed this pack too.  More Royals related cards starts this one of really nice.


WOW!  A Barry Bonds.  I collect him and don't have this one so this is good.  A couple Bazooka cards, one of Sandy Alomar, and this was also a good pack.  My mom's skill of picking good blind packs are really good.

So how did I do?  Judge for yourself.


PUH-POW!  Starting off with a bang.  Alan Trammell, Pudge, and Pat Listach who I liked as a kid, this is dynamite.  Bottom row is just as good with the Beltran Royals card I didn't have.  I never cared for the Ionex cards, but glad I have it now.  The last card looks familiar because I showed it off before in a previous pack.  I got 4 of them in that pack.  This time I pulled 3 more.  So 7 out of 2500 and I'm on my way of getting them all.  I don't plan on doing that as a couple of them have been claimed already.


I bought all-sports packs, so these were good to pull.  I like the Toni Kukoc card because I remember watching a lot of Bulls games on WGN in the 90's.  As much as I watched them, I never really rooted for them.


Another pack of all sports isn't a bad start.  None of these fit into PC's so some decent names, but none I really needed.  I do like the Santiago card though, I don't think I've ever had any from that set.


Lambeer and Ewing is a nice way to introduce some more basketball cards to my collection though I'm not actively seeking any out.  I'd prefer to get rid of the ones I got first.  Though I can't complain with the starpower in this pack.

I also got some football in this pack too.


That is a nice Ray Lewis card, but I don't collect him.  I like the Kevin Carter card too so that's nice.  The last card is a serial numbered card which I thought was pretty cool to pull from a repack.

Despite pulling the Beltran card, I think my mom picked better packs than I did.  I'm not complaining though because all the packs were good.

That does it for this post, I hope you enjoyed reading it, and I hope you have a great night.

  1. That Ionix has Beltran in one of the horrid Turn Ahead the Clock uniforms.

  2. If you're not interested in keeping that Chris Crocker serial numbered Browns card, I'm sure I could put together a nice package of Royals for it.

  3. I'd love to claim one of those Tommy Davis cards, too. The '83 Donruss David Green jumped right out at me.

    1. I guess I noticed the background so I didn't pay a lot of attention, but you aren't kidding. That stands out so much I'm not sure how I didn't notice it.

    1. It wasn't pretty, but some of the other cards looked better. I thought it was pretty hideous myself.
