The other envelopes that aren’t APBA probably don’t have cards in them either.
To this day I swear I was able to will double 6s to come up in clutch situations. With all its imperfections and I am sure with much more baseball and statistical sophistication they would really seem glaring now, it was a massively cool game. The cards presumably are worthless lol.
