A recent obsession of mine has been collecting old wax packs of trading cards from the 80s & 90s. Sure, I have a ton of these non-sport cards from when I was a kid, but the artwork and design of the packaging is something I missed. When you would buy one of these packs you would tear it open and throw away the wrapper. Never giving it a second thought. Seeing these again brings back memories of feeling the slick paper in your hands, seeing the simple artwork and the smell of bubble gum. Let's dive into a few of these packs that I have on display!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 (Topps, 1991)
Just like the Topps Ninja Turtles cartoon sets, I collected the cards from the first movie with ferocity. Then "The Secret of the Ooze" came out and I bought a few card packs, but was not as hooked as I had been before. I don't know why? I loved this movie and collected everything Turtles. The photos on these cards and stickers are nice and the graphics/colors are some of my favorite of all the non-sport cards I own. This led me to recently purchase a full box of these cards. I am hoping I can complete a full set. Go Ninja, go Ninja, go!!!
