Anyone know the date codes that the Jeff Treadway target card was in?

Just 5 packs in!….open the rest or leave the rest of the box closed?

I would open them all to see what other variations are in the box.

Phone pics are usually way too big to upload without reducing the size of the file. You can also take the pic from a ways away from the item and then crop the pic down to what you want to post.

I purchased 2 cello boxes of 89 Fleer errors. I opened one and got many, to include the FF card. I have kept the second cello box. Problem with it is that there is no way to validate the box except for my word.

As for the overall set, I had all the errors but not with the many variations of Johnson and Ripken, just a few of the easy ones. However, they got sold before my move and someone got a really great deal on that edition.

So, anyone want to weigh in on my cello box. Open it, keep it closed, or sell it to someone here?

Open it or sell/trade it to someone who will. I am biased because I love ripping junk era wax.

Results, happy overall. First time i ever pulled the FF card. Johnson Marlboro is visible but very tough to see.
