Old school 90’s break! 2 boxes 1999 Metal and one pack 2018 Contenders Draft Picks

[PNWcards]

Hi All,

Stopped by the LCS on my way home from work today and saw they had a couple of these boxes. I love 90’s of all sports so I picked them up. Also, did one pack of 2018 Contenders.

Hit this John Kelly variation out of Contenders.

The first box of 1999 Metal had this Peerless Price PMG and a Marcus Nash Autographics. I would have been happy with just this.

About halfway through the second box I see a shimmer in the middle of the pack and flip to this!

Not the best one to hit but I could careless considering how long the odds must be to hit one. Especially, nearly 20 years after release!

Oddly enough, all three of these guys went to Tennessee. Anyways, thanks for the read and I hope you all enjoy the pics!

What a Metal box; congrats

That peerless went for a lot of money at one time... a lot of vols people looking for that one

Wish that gem masters was the Karim Abdul Jabbar! Lol

Those Gem Masters were “Slim Pickens”. Congrats on the Carl. Crazy box.

That's nuts. I wonder what other Gem Masters are hiding in boxes to this day!

It really does. I often wonder if certain 1/1 cards I'm hoping to see are still in packs somewhere. It's a bit scary to think that some of that stuff is still in packs some 20 years later.

Even more worrisome is how much of these products are still out there. They must have produced thousands of cases.

"THE ONLY ONE OF ONE" unlike today's "1 of many variations"

Holy crap, I finally found a Peerless after a 7 year search. This break is my kind of break.

That is awesome! Would love to own the Pickens but too rich for my blood. Amazing hit!

Also it is probably worth more than you think. Some of the 90s stuff is good money.
