Topps 93-94 Series 1

[KnightsTragic]

Oohhhh… packets don’t look great and the box has a bit of discolouration inside.

Could be a sad experience I fear…but fingers crossed…

 

[KnightsTragic]

Oh dear…packets are rock hard.

Completely bricked.

Sheizer…

 

[KnightsTragic]

This is just painful.

I guess this is what you guys have been worried about.

Ouch

Topps can be prone to sticking unfortunately. This is really bad though

 

[KnightsTragic]

Yeah I’ve watched some breaks on YouTube but this is worse than I’ve seen anywhere.

Have sent the seller a message - noting they do always come with a disclaimer - but this is just really bad.

I guess it's a little harder to pin it on the seller given it was a sealed box.

 

[KnightsTragic]

Oh yep - haven’t been unfair to him / her.

Just wanted to let them know. Thought they should be aware.

I won’t hammer them on formal feedback.

More just an FYI.

FOR SALE: 432 coasters with some basketball players on them

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Terrible sights!

brick city

 

[KnightsTragic]

This is being careful

 

[KnightsTragic]

In an interesting final update…

Seller has just confirmed he’ll be sending me a replacement box.

I didn’t even ask - just gave him the courtesy heads up given the terrible state of the cards.

I guess there’s something said for being polite…and there remain some very decent people out there.

Good end to a crappy night.

The Dumars looks like your a jilted lover, scratching your ex’s face off your old photos

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

What a legend - awesome seller

Hope that the next one is not the same though!

 

[KnightsTragic]

Upon closer inspection whole box is showing water damage.

He sent me a photo of the box he’ll send that looks fine.

This is tonight’s box - no surprise…

Yikes, guessing they didn't have any pics of the underside of the box in the auction then. Surprised they offered a replacement without even asking, that's a great seller. I was close to getting a 93 Series 1 Topps box to rip recently too.

I have 5 boxes stored away, 2x 93/94 Fleer Ultra Series 1, 3x Series 2. All notorious for it, but similar if I opened and they're bricked, that's the risk you take. Boxes all look normal but who knows what life they led in the almost 30 years before I got hold of them

Sheesh

This product was stacked in those Target cube repacks. I loved those back in the day

He asked me to send him a photo of the box. Once he saw the photos he apologised, said he didn’t know and then said he’d send a new one.

His listing certainly didn’t show the water damage.

Sounded like he legitimately didn’t know. Maybe the wrapping covered it up.
