Pretty cool, Mouschi.

Not much free time ... a lot of tv watching was sacrificed for this project!

Very cool, I really like the wrapper insert part. I might steal that idea myself.

Crazy that you only got one star player card. A couple months ago I busted a wax box of 90 Donruss and not a single star card in the entire box. I know the box was good because I was with the guy back in the day when he bought it new off the shelf.

If definitely was very odd! Literally all were commons. But then again, I guess when you think about it, each set had 792 cards and maybe 20 players were good? With 15 cards per pack x 5 = 75 cards out of a possible nearly 4,000 cards, the odds of hitting one of them may not be too far fetched after all.

I guess many of the "stars" turned out not to be stars like they were back when the cards came out. Jeff Mantos and Lee Stevens were an exciting pull back in the day. Not so much 26 years later

I don't know if the piece of gum would grade a PSA 10, looks a little diamond cut to me. Cool idea though
