Ever wonder what those weird 1980s store-brand cards are that keep showing up in junk wax card collections? No? Well, settle in and find out anyway. And please note, I failed to mention that Circle K also had a set. Sorry about that.
My most favorite rookie in life is the Barry Bonds Toys R Us rookie card. I learned a lot from your video. Very interesting history with all these oddball card sets.
Thank you. These cards baffled me for 30 years, so I figured that we all needed to finally get the story on them. I'm glad that you were able to treasure that Bonds card, they sure did look great.
Another informative video where I learned about a set of cards that I had no idea about, the Revco brand. It's amazing how much is out there that I had no clue about
Some of my favorite cards to collect only because as a kid I knew I could afford them for a $1-$2 and you got all the superstars as you saw the checklist on the back. Thanks for sharing and Happy Collecting!
finally. fun and informative info about these largely unloved years of card collecting. i am so sick of pack busting, speculators, and other people who are just into this for the money. i love trading cards of all kinds, not concerned with their investment return. two thumbs up if i could!
By stores being a '91 thing, I mean that they became really prolific during the time that card sets themselves were expanding quickly. In 1989 only cities and large towns may have a card shop, but by 1992 nearly every town had at least one. Alao I mentioned "about 5 brands in 1980"...well, I meant 5 sets. Sorry about that. Creating one take with no errors is really tough.
