Card Identification Forum

Fair enough...looks like I got duped for a couple bucks because I was too lazy and didn't check ahead of time.  Live & learn...thanks!

Here's a blog with a couple other examples from a repack product. The Strawberry has the same "frame" as your Klesko.

Years ago another company, based in Texas I believe, was making "cards" out of other company's cards. It's somewhere in the forum archives.

I have a Mark McGwire, Joe Carter and Fred McGriff ones just like your Klesko. They came as bonuses when you bought twenty repackaged baseball packs. These were in an envelope inside the box.

Interesting.  Twenty repacks from who?  Pinnacle?  I guess I am ignorant to exactly what repacks are, and how they work.

I believe the company was Fairfield or Fairfax. Something like that. You would get decent packs of newer cards and then the junk wax was hidden behind the good packs. I still loved getting those though. Both Target and Walmart used to carry them.

A company buys up older (non-current) cards, packs, boxes and then repackages them to resell.  The Fairfield Company, MJ Holding, and Repacked Wax are a few repacking companies that come to mind.
