1990 Fleer Michael Jordan

When I think of Jordan this is exactly the picture I get in my head.

In Honor of Junk Wax Wednesday…

How many of you remember flipping through these pages to look up card prices? Not just to see what your own cards were worth, but also to find out who the hot chases were at the time. Going back through these old Becketts really takes me back to a simpler time in the hobby—when part of the fun was tracking down the next big card and circling the ones you wanted most.

Just scooped up a local lot of 250 Beckett magazines from the 90’s for a steal. Couldn’t pass it up. A bunch of gems in here—most of them in mint condition, a few still sealed in their original packaging. Pretty awesome piece of hobby history.

Who remembers these? 😳

I found a 1995 Sprint $5 prepaid phone card with Drew Bledsoe while digging through auction inventory—only 5,000 were made! Back in the 90s, this was how we called friends from phone booths, juggled quarters, and waited on our pagers. Now it’s pure nostalgia—junk wax cards, neon windbreakers, and dial-up vibes all rolled into one tiny collectible.

1995 Fleer Ultra Power Plus Ken Griffey Jr.

I still remember the day I pulled this card back in February of 1996. I was at my mom’s office for Take Your Child to Work Day, and her boss had bought me and another boy some packs to rip while we were there. If I tell you we thought I’d won the lottery, it would be an understatement…lol.

What kid in the 90’s didn’t love Junior? And for me, being from Cincinnati made it even bigger. To this day, “The Kid” is still a fan favorite—whether it was the backwards hat or that smooth, effortless swing. Even those who never had the honor of watching him play know exactly why he’s a legend.
