As I reconcille my collection...again...I have two notes, one a question and one a tasker that I am also working on.

First, the question. Is it me, or are there different types of backs for the wax box cards. Most of what I have are dark stock, but I have 2 that are white stock (8 and 15). It is the same look as the scan for #21 (Sabo); the Sabo I have is dark stock. Were box bottoms on the wax box and cello/rack boxes different where the bottoms were different colors?

Second, the "tasker". Does anyone have the checklist for the panels for this set yet? Seems like the other Fleer sets got them added, but not this one. If no one has it, I can do the research in a few hours. Hey. it's dinner time!!!!

If I recall both the wax and cello boxes had cards on the bottoms. The wax 4 cards and the cello 6 cards. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

I can look next time I'm at the LCS. I'm pretty sure he sells the cello packs there. If he doesn't mind me pulling the packs out to examine the stock. It may be a month though. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
