Like I can resist the siren's song of the card aisle at Target. This time, I picked up my usual. A 100 card plastic hanger repack.
I'll get into the full contents tomorrow. But two of the cards surprised me.
At first, this one wasn't a surprise. There were a starting 9 worth of 1986 Topps Traded cards in there, and that wasn't even the most prevalent year/set of cardboard in there. But as I continued on, I paused. This one is pretty shiny. Glossy even.
I turned it over.
That's not your typical 80's Topps back. That's one of those /5000 Tiffany cards! Neat! They aren't super rare, but they're still not what you'd expect to find in a repack. 80's Shiny cards! Welcome to the binders, Ray!
And one good Shiny deserves another.
With a beautifully clear back.
As far as zistle tells me, these are my first Tiffany cards. Repack surprises always rule!
Very cool! I've never been fortunate enough to land a Tiffany card in a repack, come to think of it I don't believe I own a single Topps Tiffany card at all...
ReplyDeleteSame here! Though, I think I might have one stray Tiffany card hiding somewhere. Never seen 'em in repacks before, that'ts for certain.
DeleteI'll be honest - I can never tell the difference if I get a Tiffany card in a repack. I may have, but the heck if I know. I guess I should research anything I pull that is super glossy from that era.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know if I've gotten one either.
ReplyDeleteOh who am I kidding, I've never gotten one.
