Antique Store Finds

Went to local antique store here few a week ago. One vendor have an item I been wanting to pickup.

It was this Racing Champions diecast featuring wrestler Scott Norton who wrestled in WCW and Japan. The same vendor also have grab bags of cards ranging from $1 to $2. The bags contain baseball, football, basketball, hockey, and non-sport cards. I picked up a two $2 bags.

One contains 1992 Pro Set football while the other have animals. I never had any of those cards in my collection. I did research on animal cards and turns out they were Mundus Amicus Endangered Species cards. The set was produced in 1992. In fact it was entire set while several extra cards. Great find for $2!

The cards range from reptiles, big cats, avians, and panda.

Three zoos are mentioned on the set. I only been to San Diego Zoo once back in 2002.

1992 Pro Set grab bag contains 46 cards along with few repeats. I got the following: Herschel Walker, Dan McGwire, Mark Schlereth (both base and All-Pro), Mike Singletary (both base and All Pro), Webster Slaughter, Patrick Rowe (X2), Charles Mann (All Pro), Vaughn Dunbar, Troy Vincent, Calvin Williams, Rodney Peete, John Booty, Cleveland Gary, Willie Drewrey, Keith Jackson (X2), David Wyman (X2), Jerry Gray (X2 and in Reebok Pump), Tony Sacca (X2), Marquez Pope, Christian Okoye (X2), Greg McMurtry, Nate Lewis, Will Furrer, Jessie Tuggle, Sam Mills (All Pro), Quentin Coryatt, Richmond Webb, Mark Carrier, Bruce Matthews, Browning Nagle, Shannon Sharpe, Kevin Call, AFC-Spirit of the Game, Ricky Sanders, Brad Edwards, Alonzo Spellman

Not a bad haul out of it. Reason for me picking up Scott Norton diecast? He made a guest appearance at Danny DeManto's ICW No Hold Barred event in San Antonio. The results?

Now that's too sweet!

NFL, Fleer, and Shell Takes You to School

One of packs I picked up at Houston Sports Connection for a quarter and its the one I never seen or heard before. Fleer and Shell teamed up producing these cards known as Fleer Shell FACT. Research showed they produced these from 93 to 96 splitting into five sets gearing toward school kids. I don't know how the packs are distributed. The one I got is from set 4 of 96 Fleer Shell. Back of the cover card is a scoreboard on notching points from the words problems and questions they asked.

Set 4 featured these players with Chester McGlockton being macho, Ricky Running Watters, QB Slash catching a ball, Troy Drayton, Aaron Hayden, Ken Norton running with a ball from a turnover,  Rick Mirer (Jets fan trying to forget he played for them), Hardy Nickerson, Henry Ellard, Aeneas Williams showing who's no. 1, Terrence Mathis, the late Eric Turner, Carl Pickens, and Prime Time homing on a target. This is very good selection with blurb on front of the player's greatest game. The back have no stats just word problem questions.

As for the questions its "Are You Smarter Than 5th Grader?" on cardboard. Not all the cards have the answer key. Can you able answers those questions on the back

How many points did you get at the end? This isn't bad for quarter.
