First packs in 25 years 😳

[Nevetsov]

Haven't cracked anything since around 1997, so when down at Toyworld today and saw they had Donruss and Panini I figured why not pick something up for nostalgia's sake.

They had Donruss, Panini contenders and chronicles, and from a quick look here it seems the chronicles is the pick of the bunch. So I picked up a 30 card hanger box for $34.

Is this the forum to post the contents? I honestly don't even know what I'm looking for, just want to relive my youth and bust something open.

Yes! Post up any pics or info on your break here - people love to check them out

if you’re looking for older packs and boxes like you used to open I recommend checking out sjay2k - he’s in QLD too and you can even get like random lots of old packs to reminisce

Well I don't think I got anything great, but it was still good to give it a crack and see how nice the cards look these days. As a Suns fan I was hoping for at least one PHX base, but thems the breaks.


Don't need to keep any of these, so let me know if you want them. Will trade for anything PHX, penny hardaway, ced ceballos or from my 90's base wantlist.

(I think the greens are Deni Avdija, Wiseman and Cole Anthony):

The Honours is a nice looking card.

Looks like Phoenix NFL!

Getting LaMelo, Antman and Maxey... not bad

Thanks for sharing!

yep, as I've found it, it's more for kids IMO - to get some crazy sixck hits you've got to spend a lot more money these days for the most part - but as I said, if you like the 90's, packs can still be had for $5-10 and boxes are still around like Emotion so plenty of fun to be had
