I picked up this Sportflic of Mike Schmidt for $.54/shipped. It is my 131st card of the HOF 3rd baseman. This is a Decade Greats Sportflic, I don't remember ever buying any packs but the original base set of Sportflics so I'm not sure why they weren't for sell in my area but I never had any as a kid.
This is my 3rd (and the card underneath, my 4th) card that I've picked up from this set in the last couple of days. I actually won all 4 on the same day, 2 cards each from 2 different sellers. I picked this one up for $.27/shipped.
Did you notice that I didn't say how many Bench's I had in the last paragraph? Well, now you know why. I picked this one up for $.38/shipped and the 2 cards above put the Bench collection at 88 cards.
A few years before 89 Upper Deck, 90 Leaf, and 91 Stadium Club... 1986 Sportflics was the first premium baseball card product I ever opened. I know most people don't consider it a premium product, but back in 1986 a pack of Topps included 15 cards for 35¢. Sportlfics were distributed in packs of 3 (w/2 trivia cards) for a suggested retail price of 65¢.
ReplyDeleteNow that you say that, I do remember them only coming with a few cards. My kid self hated that.
