Those were Topps Traded, though... they didn't come in packs. You had to buy the set. I actually have that particular set.

I am most surprised by how Classified has made multiple course changes: moving away from the Blackout designs, multiple packaging changes, and moving Retro from Wal-Mart exclusive repaints to new sculpt figures. The line has had a few stumbles but has been incredibly resilient and willing to adapt. |

Yeah, Breaker is really bare bones, but I think they were still tinkering with the vehicle sets, at that point. If they re-released him today, he'd have a sidearm, rifle, backpack, and his gum.

You can only get the traded sets as a completed box, which I always loved. I can't remember if they did it every season, but I know I had a few Topps factory sets and they bundled the Traded set with it as a special bonus. Still can't believe there won't be Topps baseball cards soon. Just seems like it's sacrilegious. Quote:
Breaker is a prime candidate for a retro release that could include his comm gear, a gun or two, and probably a bubblegum head (like they did for ML Jubilee and Boom Boom).

About 10 years ago I was going through my older baseball cards and found a few unopened packs of some '86 Topps. I opened one up and ate the gum. It was like a rock and crumbled into nasty chunks. Was sort of gross I guess LOL! But that taste and smell instantly took me back to being a kid in the '80s and early '90s and collecting cards!

Hard to decide if that was worse than New Coke. Then, of course, there's Zima....

Oh man, yeah I don't think I'd drink 30 year-old soda! lol The gum just gets really stale, hard and disintegrates. I used to love Pepsi Clear & Crystal Pepsi back in junior high/high school. Feel like most people hated it though.

Oakland was the bomb back then. I have heard their stadium is fairly rough area. Seems like everyone is leaving Oakland sports wise. Too bad. |

That?s awesome. Thanks for info! Did it include Jose Canseco rookie card as well? I know he gets a bad rap nowadays but he was a stud. Him and McGwire as the Bash Brothers. Steroids are a hell of a drug haha

This is the last season the A's are playing in Oakland. They are moving to Sacramento next year (playing in the stadium built for the AAA Rivercats, formerly affiliated with the A's but currently affiliated with the SF Giants) and then joining the Raiders in Vegas in 2027 or 2028.
Hopefully Athletics do not change their unis. Their colour way and hat are one of the best imo. Dave Stewart; Dennis Eckersley; Bob Welch let alone Rickey swiping bag after bag. These guys struck fear into Jays fans and for good reason! |
