...station cards.
Tricked you.
I still hit up the Lisia app once in awhile. I think many of us can agree the site has jumped the shark for the most part, but once in a while, there are deals to be had.
For a measly amount of credits, I won this cool Sunoco/Coca-Cola 2001 Dream Team set. I actually figured it was a little older than that, but 2001 it is. I feel like there is a massive lack of oddball sets like this nowadays...cards on cereal boxes, in Twizzlers, at gas stations, Denny's, etc. I'm sure it has to do with the Topps-exclusive, but stuff like this is great. Here is the Dream Team set:
I remember the 1994 Fleer Sunoco set as well, which were just Fleer base cards without the foil. My dad's co-workers always used to give them to him for me every time they filled up. I probably got 2-3 per week.
What are some of the better oddball sets you remember in the not-so-distant past?
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
