Random Review: Another Fairfield Target product

I wasn’t planning on buying this product but when I was in the Target card section, it was pretty obvious that their was a hit in it; I think. I posted a poll on my Twitter @angryccollector (not the 2 c’s) asking if it was actually a hit. I have learned that if it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t- even if you are getting a hit that isn’t worth the price of the box. Combined with the possible hit, I was in the mood for some old school cards. Football season is winding down so I am trying to get in a basketball mindset anyway.

This product was a ‘Jumbo Box’ for $5.99 with 1 in 4 having a hit.

Hit or not?

With an early Gary Payton card in the front, how could I not want it? The Glove is awesome.

Yes it was a hit. Tyrus Thomas Black Gold #’ed to 199. It wouldn’t be a Fairfield product without a coaches card. Juwan Howard rookie card.

Dee Brown in a classic Raptors jersey. Derrick Coleman and Larry Johnson rookie cards. I bet those used to be worth something. Muggsy Bogues!

Look at those classic All Star game jerseys, probably my favorite all star jerseys ever. Brent Price 2nd year card. Isiah Thomas and another Muggsy card

Michael Cooper, The Glove, and a classic Vancouver Grizzlies card: Blue Edwards; what a name. Hersey Hawkins, now their is a name that I forgot about.

I was surprised that the hit was so obvious. Maybe they should put the hit in the back.

Overall it is probably not worth the money but I did enjoy the box. I will admit that If I was in a different mood then I wouldn’t be happy. You could do worse cards for the 90s. The hit sucked but it was Black Gold and Fairfield, two words that never go together. I would like to hear stories of them giving out good relic cards.
