Yes, you have read that correctly. This is a box break of 1993-94 Score. Why? Since it's around the era I started collecting, the junk wax era actually means a lot to me. I still go back and buy product from back then and enjoy breaking it, which I recently did with a few boxes of '93-94 Score. Plus I noticed the recent thread about lack of activity and thought that sharing any break couldn't hurt. Though this will test that theory. Maybe I'll come back later and find I've been banned for a junk wax era Show & Tell.
At 36 packs per box and 15 cards per back, this was a quintessential early 90s sized break. I ended up with 367 of the 495 card base set but over 100 duplicates.
These are some of the best from the base set.
Patrick Roy and Pavel Bure were the only two I pulled to get the horizontal treatment on their base card.
I wanted to take a moment and share the back of a card. They fit every season of a player's career on the back, a photo, a few sentences (or couple paragraphs for players with fewer stat lines), team logo/name and basic biographical information. Compare that to the back of an O-Pee-Chee card from this past season that fits only the past 5 seasons and no text.
There are plenty of subsets in 1993-94 Score, starting with the slightly cringy Little Big Men and highlights from the 1992-93 Season.
Then we've got some Top Rookies (no one of note) and Season Leaders.
Score also included cards to commemorate not only that year's Stanley Cup champion, but the Memorial Cup champions as well. They also highlighted the two expansion teams from that year.
Each pack of 1993-94 Score contained a Pinnacle All-Star card, so I ended up with 36 of these. (No duplicates and there are 45 in the set)
These were your box hits in the 90s. A Franchise Pavel Bure, that came out 31 years later in terrific shape and a redemption for a non-patch, non-auto, non-numbered base card of #1 pick, Alexandre Daigle!
I wanted to share the back of the redemption card. All it cost was 50 cents and an envelope. There's also no expiration date! So knowing how the junk wax era was printed, there are probably still plenty of these to be redeemed.
I know most viewers probably skipped this show & tell, but if you decided to look through, I hope you enjoyed viewing this nostalgically the same way I did opening it.
