Well... it's been about a week and I've opened up all of the mystery bags from one of the boxes. It provided a hour's worth of entertainment... but honestly there hadn't been any life altering pulls... until I stumbled across this beauty:
1988 Score #555
Bang. Pow. Kaboom. This card is straight fire. Sorry Johnny. You might have dibs on the majority of the Braves coming out of these mystery packs... but this card won't be headed out to the Florida Georgia Line anytime soon. It's destined for an old school, one inch screw down.
Happy April Fools' Day and sayonara!

I dunno man, a screw down might not be enough- I think you should get it graded!
Ooh nice card! But I acquired a special version of that same cards (and for less than $100). Check it out:

He looks like a grandpa in that picture. Love it!!!
well what have we here? Niekro's run up the score today!
Nailed it!
Good one. And not the only Score Phil Neikro post today: https://30aweekhabit.blogspot.com/2020/04/better-than-1991-fleer.html. I feel left out. I would've posted on this card, too.
Niekro mojo! I just left a similar comment on Brian's blog. He also showed off this 1988 score final tribute.
I didn't realize today was his birthday so my niekro posts will be a week late (yes I have 2 niekro centric posts scheduled for next week)
you still can.........
Sweet Niekro! That's a keeper!
The third post I’ve seen with this card today. That’s some serendipity!
Sick pull!!
brian - you're a genius! it's on its way to psa right now
bbcardz - under $100? i would have figured that to be a four figure card. great find
sumomenkoman - the thing is... i look back to his early 80's cards and he looked like a grandpa even then. on a positive note... i think he aged more from 20 to 40, than he did from 40 to 80.
acrackedbat - he's cornered the hobby!
the angels in order - thank you kind sir
peter k steinberg & johnnys trading spot - johnny is right. hope you hopped on the niekro train.
gcrl - after reading all of these different niekro posts, i've kind of found a deep appreciation for him. looking forward to reading your posts.
matt - sent it off to psa. when it comes back a 10, i'm gonna flip it into something really special
steve at 1975baseballcards.com - hope you were able to check out the 20-something 88 score niekro posts published on 4/1. even better is if you wrote one yourself
sport card collectors - definitely my pull of the year
