94-95 Skybox Emotion

[KnightsTragic]

Hey All,

After a little bit of research I’ve decided I want to make my first purchase from outside of Australia.

And that purchase is a box of 94-95 Skybox Emotion - simply love everything about this set.

Is there anything I’m missing or should be mindful of? Would anyone try to talk me out of this plan?

Genuinely looking for honest thoughts as I appreciate the collective wisdom of this group.

Cheers,
Tim

Surely it will be bricked to shite

@GarnettFan4Life sent me a single pack and it was in good condition. Hopefully a full box will be in good nick too...but yeah, it's a risk

Haha - you don’t think I’ve used up all of my bad luck…???

I’ll be sure to let you know when I crack it open so you can find a comfy seat and get the popcorn ready…

I haven’t come across any YouTube videos of fully bricked boxes of Emotion…but yes…there’s always a risk

There’s something about this card stock that makes me think it bricks less than say Upper Deck or Fleer Ultra from that time but as everyone said, it’s a risk because the age of it not only lends itself to the usual degradation over time but also someone who might have kept it in a good storage position sells it to someone else in another state or country and weather is different , more humid etc etc and all gets affected.
great set though and worth a break I reckon.

Some grub from Florida that had it sitting in a tin shed outside for 20 years

Note to self - don’t buy from Florida
