An Extreme PresstiCube

 This opening is from....a number of years ago. I bought this right off the Presstine website with some other items when there was a sale including free shipping. I think the cube was maybe $15 CDN and I picked it up out of interest. I mean, less than 10 cents a card, though I expected most would be from the late 80s or early 90s, but should be enough to get something of interest. I don't think the cubes are available anymore, so, if it is good, can't go get another one, and if it sucks - well, can't get burned on another.

Will have to wait to see the special premium cards - I did go through and kind of separate by date section and we will start today with 1989 and earlier - forgive me if there is a little overlap or wiggle between them. I am also not scanning the cube itself, though a 250 card cube is not shabby to have from this either.

1987 Fleer is a slow build set, so nice for a couple needs there, same with 1987 Hygrade Baseball's All Time Greats which I haven't seen much of, but really like the subject material, so would love to get more of.

1989 Topps I'll pass on, though at least there's an Expo card I can pass along.

Well, nothing I really need from these three high production sets. I mean, 1987 Topps, 1988 and 1989 Donruss are pretty much everywhere.

1987 Donruss I am working on and these adds are nice - including a Jays pickup - 1988 Topps, not so needed.

A few helpers for 1989 Upper Deck, and if I am going to get three copies of a card, not going to complain about it being a Jays card with Kelly Gruber here - nice!

A nice ending for the bunch as 1988 O Pee Chee is a great set and one I have a bunch of work to still do on, but these knock off 9 more of the base cards for me.

A pretty solid start with about 20 keepers out of about 70, and given those are the pre-1990 cards, I'm hoping it will only get better from here. Will take a few days to work through the box, but pretty pumped with this start.
