The cards I got from 1990 Fleer: Jose Lind, Gene Larkin, Jody Davis, Neal Heaton, Jerry Reed, Ken Dayley, Wade Boggs, Dave Gallagher, Danny Jackson, Otis Nixon, Mike Schooler, Rick Reuschel, Kevin Ritz, Alfredo Griffin, Ben McDonald, sticker w/ Orioles, Reds Sox, White Sox, and Angels logo.

Not sure if every repack box contains 40 cards, half from the 80 cards from they used to put out, and a pack. I wonder what is everyone experiences with the new Fairfield repacks.

What's in that repack?

I was on my way San Antonio for WWE Hell in a Cell stopping by at Buccees in New Braunfalls. Across the street was a shopping center with a Target I decide to venture there to check out card station. While going through I notice this on front of Fairfield basketball repack that I have to buy it.

Yep a 1981-82 Topps Julius Erving card. Having the card of top is worth $5 buy to me. As for remaining cards.

Hoops inagural set breaking in Fleer stranglehold. Follows up to......

 Hoops second year set.

A very clean 90-91 Fleer cards

91-92 Hoops card

 Full of 91-92 Upper Deck which I got two Bo Kimble out of this. Also what was James Worthy doing in the photo? Saving a ball out of bounds or a leaping toss?

The premium Fleer Ultra with a Charles Barkley slam dunk

92-93 Skybox stepped away from the graphics art to action shots with graphics whoosh on the ball. 

93-94 Hoops with two players made their return back to NBA. Both would team up as members of San Antonio Spurs

After being bland for couple of years Fleer with simple slam dunk design. Hey look its The Glove

93-94 Skybox including a checklist.

93-94 Upper Deck with Don McLean who won 6th Man of the Year

95-96 Signature Rookies. Both would have journeyman career.

 Cards I never seen before. Score Board produced these cards.

 1996-97 Topps Finest of Michael Williams

 Player I never heard of
