There is a big message on these cards about Be Strong. Don't do drugs. Then they go and name the inserts so they sound like some sort of drug.
This is my favourite shot from all the cards I pulled.
According to the checklist there are 150 base cards, of which 50 are Rookies. A further 35 Autographed rookie cards and 50 Beam Team Autographs.I pulled 31 base cards, 9 rookies (1 double) and 0 autographs, but there were 4 Red Sox cards. It is always Dustin or David, never Jacoby!
The card 130 is a mystery to me, two different pictures, same player. One is numbered ?
The second pack had 3 Red Sox, which is a surprising ratio. These cards didn't set the card collecting world alight and I bought 6 packs for 99p on e-bay UK. The design is not stimulating but the players pictures on the front are large and usually action shots. The Colorado Rockies logo was the first of the type I had seen from this set. I presume it was because they were an expansion team.

I purchased these cards from the same seller on e-bay UK as the 1983 Topps, although there was some interest in the 1983 Topps, there was none for these 4 packs and I won with one speculative bid.
Again 1 Red Sox hit. The cards are in excllent condition and as always with this seller, the cards had not been pre-opened and searched.
Really nice looking cards. A plain grey outer border and off white inner border with the gloss player picture on a matt background, that makes the player stand out. Good card stock. I bought these from a seller on e-bay who was also selling 'hit' packs, so I guessed there would be nothing but base cards in here. Pity there were no Red Sox.

Greg of Night Owl would be happy with these colours. I am not sure about the yellow and blue stripes. The inserts are a nice design and 5 inserts out of 25 is a pretty good ratio.
