Classic Box Breaks - 89-90 Topps, Sakic RC
 

I went to another one of my LCS in the area to check out a sale they were having and pick up some supplies. After just breaking a box of Prime last night I was in the mood for something a little different... and cheaper. I decided to get 1 box of 89-90 Topps. I have never busted one. I was out of collecting by then and was not into hockey then. I got into hockey just a couple years later so many of the faces and names I remember. I was able to put together a complete set (198) and only came up 5 stickers short of that set. The design of these cards is pretty good, much better than the baseball from that time period, IMO.

[SIZE="3"]These are all extras. They are going in the book with the set. OPINIONS: Does the Sakic look gradable?[/SIZE]
