Five Dollar Group Break

Now that you have the jingle in your head, let's make it worse.

Five.

Five dollar.

Five dollar group break.

From Thorzul.

There's not much more to say than that. Five dollars got your team choice, in most cases. Every card that was pulled from that team in an assortment of repackaged wax was yours for the taking. It didn't matter what the card was.

Were most of them crap? Yeah, but that's kind of the point. I did receive a few cards that I needed, which is always a plus. I'm not entirely sure how some of these cards got in my allotment, but I'm happy that they are there. I'm guessing that there were repackaged repack wax in there. How else could you explain the 1988 Fleer Update card?
