Mcdonalds inside WalMart

 Remember the days when McDonald's operated inside of WalMart. It's wild, but the other day I was shopping inside our Super WalMart, I thought about that. I know exactly where it used ti be, located in the back. You could sit behind the little divider wall and order food, sit down and eat. Kinda crazy to think now. 

Their only traffic was people going to WalMart. Crazy, the deli doesn't have a place where you can sit down and eat food from their own store. I think it'd be bonkers crazy for them if they did. 

Anyway, just my random thought for the day. 

Vintage plastic dinosaurs

 

Playing dinosaurs with my little boy last week and it made me remember these plastic dinosaurs my parents bought me years ago that I LOVED playing with. 

I remember I'd put them on the coffee table with a crumpled piece of paper and play "dino hockey" with them. I don't know what possessed me to do that, but it was so much fun! 

Good memories can sometimes be with the simplest of toys. 

Bang: American Berry

 I'm not really sure why I keep trying these New Bang flavors anymore, but I couldn't help it with this one. It has the american flag on it, see?

Basically this is their old Bangster Berry flavor with a bitter taste. I liked Bangster Berry, it was a blueberry flavor but with the bitter twist in this can, it comes off as odd. 

Not their worst flavor they have out there but certainly not their best. Now that they discontinued the Sour Heads flavor, there's no longer a reason to buy these. I guess when the next new flavor comes around I won't be able to help myself, but until then, I'll stick to my Ghost. 

The Invisible Man (2020) review

Wow. What a waste of a good movie. 

Good premise, really shakey arc. It's a shame because just one or two tweaks to the script would've made it perfect. Unfortunately it is a flawed film and not worth your time. 

The issues? The main villain is poorly portrayed. We hardly know him but the movie tells us over and over again that he's a bad guy. Why they couldn't have a few flashbacks to portray this I have no idea. The film tries to give you a "twist" at the end, but it's really a cluster that was poorly thought out. Again, one tweak would've fixed it instantly but in this day and age I've given up on most holloywood studios ever being good again. 

Pass.
 

Happy 4th!

 

Today marks the anniversary of my longest group text. Where I texted Step, Mikey and Rusty about how fireworks always remind me of the death star exploding. 

And ever since then, it's led to several enjoyable conversations. Here's to another year of the group chat!

Music facts Part 3

 And now for the last CD I ever bought. 

Yeah, wild huh?

Weexer Teal album. I didn't even realize it at the time that it would be my last. When you bought it off the site, they also provided you with the digital copy and I thought "Why am I still buying CDs?" So I decided not to buy anymore after that. 

Crazy because I it makes for a perfect ending to my physical music collection. It started and ended with Weezer.

Fitting. 

Have a good weekend folks!

Music facts Part 2

 Although I can't remember what the first album I listened to was a child (I bet it was Sesame Street Gold) I DO remember the first album I listened too after Mom and Dad bought me a Walkman for Christmas. 

Mom had just received the latest Manilow album too and it was his blues/swing album. I listened to this and walked around the block over and over again. Dancing on the sidewalk and singing at the top of my lungs probably too. 

I remember years later when my brother ran for college, he took this CD with him. I was pissed. "Why'd he take the best Barry Manilow CD?!" I thought. 

I did listen to this last year. Not bad. Good memories, yet somehow it sounded better through a Sony Walkman. 

Then again...what didn't?

Happy Birthday Jeremy!

 He goes by Remy now, but I still call his be his Christian name. 

Not really sure where he goes out to treat himself for lunch or dinner. My go-to has always been a Peanut Buster Parfait from Dairy Queen. Classic. 

He used to love Taco Bell but I think he gave it up years ago after it started giving him indigestion. 

Either way, Happy Birthday Brother!

Music facts Part 1

 First album I ever bought (on tape) was the Weezer blue album. And to this day it's STILL the first album I make sure to play in my car whenever I buy a new one. 

There's something very satisfying blarring "My Name is Jonas" out of the new car stereo. 

Oddly enough, I remember the 2nd album I ever bought too. Used to listen to the entire album on Saturday's while I cut grass for a summer job. Must have played it 10 times a day back then. To this day it remains my favorite album of his. 

Vivarium (review)

 A couple goes to look at a house in an odd neighborhood, only to be stranded inside with no way out. There, they must raise a baby that isn't theirs....and isn't human as they later find out, and try to escape this suburban nightmare. 

And....that's about it. No story plot, no conclusion, explanation about what's going on or why, not even closure at the end. It's just a movie where the wind doesn't blow, the food is bland and the clouds all look the same. 

Maybe it's trying to tell us something but the only thing I heard was "We didn't have any idea how to move the story along after we explained the premise."

Said opportunity for a good story wasted on....just a strange happening of events. 

Waste of time. 

Super Mario Galaxy (review)

 The first one was fun. This one was...ok. It had a few references I got and a lot I didn't. Also with Starfox in it, it didn't ring my bell because I never played the game back in the day and neither did my wife apparently, because she asked me who he was. 

My kids were even bored with this movie. (unlike the first one) So this was a hard PASS for me. Very colorful, shiny and action packed....but in the end, it's a nothing burger. 

Have a good weekend folks!

Hell or High Water (review)

 Chris Pine as the crook, Jeff Bridges as the Texas Ranger, a few days away from retirement, trying to catch one final criminal before he hangs up his badge. 

Excellent. 

Slow, modern day western story. Not as good as "No Country for Old Men" but still worthy of a watch through. 

I knew nothing about this when I sat down with my nephew to watch it, but when Jeff Bridges name came up in the credits, I turned to him and said "Jeff Bridges is in this? Auto like."

And I was right. 

Monarch Season 2 review

 I truly ask myself "Don't I have anything better to do with my time?"

The answer must be "No" because I sat through the entire second season of this show. 

It has it's moments but once again its a 10 episode series that should have gone 5 and would've kept the same story. 

It's shocking to me that even though they've shrunk a lot of TV shows to 10 episodes and STILL manage to move at snails pace when it comes to the plot and story arcs is beyond me. I don't know how they do it. 

There's some nice monster moments....keep those. Cut the seasons in half to save money and continue to give us monster fights because besides Kurt Russell, there really isn't anyone else interesting in the whole cast. 

Will I watch season 3? Hmmm...guess I gotta do something to pass the time as the laundry dries. 

The History of the Hobbitt

 A book I didn't even know about until a month ago when another hardcore Tolkien fan pulled it from their bookshelf when I noticed it in the background of the video chat. 

This is a follow up to the "History of Middle Earth" series which talks about the early editions and re-writes of the Hobbit novel.

The book not only provides rough drafts, but also expounds on lost characters like Radagast, who is only mentioned in the novels but never shown. Tolkien's thoughts and ideas for a failed story line involving him are shown. As well are a timeline of events. What date things actually took place in the book, as well as distances between areas to give you a better lay of the land. 

The book assumes you've read the 12 volume History of Middle Earth series and chalked full of notes and connections Tolkien made in the Hobbit with his other writings. Truly amazing how much time and effort the man put into world building his stories. (which is probably why they're still the best fantasy novels ever written) 

Casual movie fans should avoid this though. Stick to the book. This is more for the hardcore nerds like me who can't get enough Tolkien. 

Also, at 938 pages....it aint' light reading either. But perfect for me!

Bye Bye Beach

 In 1983 my grandmother decided to bring the whole family together at the close of the summer for one beach trip. From there until 2005 Pensacola Florida was our annual vacation home. I remember each one of the 4 houses we stayed in over that time. Each one growing bigger than the other. 

But when the hurricane blew them all away, we stopped our annual trips. 

For 3 years we weren't enjoying the sand, until Dad decided to bring back the tradition but this time with just our family in 2009 but this time, move the beach a little closer to us in Gulf Shores AL. 

But in 2025 that finally came to an end. My Dad had a lot of expensive costs last year with the beach house he'd purchased. Every year before then it was making him money but last year he had to put on a new roof, A/C units, paint and even reconstruct the staircase after a store had deemed them "unsafe". I don't know the specific number but I believe 5 zeros were attached to the 1st digit and it outweighed the income he'd made that year, so Dad decided to sell it. 

He made a hefty profit I'm sure. Housing in the area is hot right now and he bought right after the 2008 crisis, in which he bought the house for a steal so I'm happy for him. Problem is, we never knew last year was going to be out last. 

Bittersweet, I must say. Lots of good memories there, with the family, kids, and board games. In fact, last year may have been the BEST year I'd ever had playing games, since we played several sessions of Twilight Imperium, as well as a 7 player version of Spartacus (I dream come true) So it truly was the best of all years. Kinda sad it's come to such an abrupt end. 

But maybe in 2029, (another 3 years in-between) I'll begin the tradition again with my own family. There'll be older and more manageable to deal with.  Plus, I may also keep the tradition of moving the beach a little closer to home by settling for beaches in MS, my home state. I really like that idea and if things go well make it an annual thing. 

Time changes things, traditions eventually end and life moves on. That's the nature of it. I'll miss the good times we had on our family trips but look forward to creating our own someday.   

Caveat (Review)

 Been a while since I was genuinely scared watching a movie. 

Enter "Caveat" a movie about a guy hired to watch a man's schizophrenic niece in a house on an island in a lake. 

But there's a little mystery in the house that needs to be resolved....add some supernatural occurrences around the house to it and you've got a movie that's pretty good!

It's crazy, because this movie begins with the creepies, then tries hard to make you forget about it all in the 2nd act when the main character is trying to put the pieces together on what took place in the past. Followed by a strong 3rd act that had me looking away with a tummy full of the heebie jeebies, only to end it in a perfect way and (if you're lucky) as the credits role you'll realize the you were seeing the whole movie wrong from the very beginning. 

 Spooky and smart without spoon feeding the audience to what the real meaning to it all was in the first place. 

I liked that. 

Recommended. 

Have a good weekend folks!

Cheerwine

 I've always heard good things about this cola from friends. So the next time Megan and I ate at Cracker Barrell, I decided to go for it and see if it's really as good as people say. 

It is. 

Really tasty. I don't need to go crazy and start buying it buy the dozens, but at the same time, I wouldn't say "No" to having another. Good stuff. 

The other 2 colas they have there that I want to try is Moixe and Vernon's Ginger Ale. But I can wait another 6 months before we head back to Cracker Barrell. 

Honey Peanut M&Ms

 Love peanut M&Ms, so I had to try these the other day. 

Not bad. In different to whether I'd try them again in the future. I think the flavor I would go for if they made  spicy peanut M&Ms. That'd be great, but I doubt it'd be a best seller so they probably won't ever make it. 

I miss the dark chocolate peanut M&Ms too. But those went out of productions years ago sadly. Still, nothing wrong with the classic peanut M&Ms either. 

Ghost 7Up

 Saw this in the store a few months ago and picked it up. Didn't even know about it. So excited. Went back to my car. And right before I opened it up I thought "Wait...what if it taste just like 7Up?"

I was right. No difference. 

Don't get me wrong, I like 7Up. But I felt like I just paid $1 more for a 7Up energy drink. There's literally no difference in the taste. 

Why they did this, I have no idea. I know Dr Pepper bought them a few years back. Maybe they were just throwing one of their brands in with Ghost to see if there'd be any interest. Well... I hope that's it for this experiment. Not interested in cola flavors with the Ghost label plastered on them. 

Pass on this one.  

When to grabs the "upgrade" seats

 Was talking with some friends at work about when you should move to better seats in a stadium while watching a game and this is what we all agreed on. 

Baseball: After the 3rd Inning

Football: After the 1st Quarter

Hockey: After the 1st Period

Basketball: Who cares about basketball??

I won't move if I'm with my family because it's never a smooth transition and isn't worth the trouble. But when it's just me or me and my son, I'll move on down for the upgraded seats. 

What about you?

Megan's Bizarre rules

 There are 2 "rules" my wife has around the house I've never understood. So today, I'm enlisting your help to explain them to me. 

#1 Once a hand towel is used to dry ones hands and must be thrown in the dirty laundry immediately. 4

Because of this, we never have hand towels in the bathrooms, ever. 

#2 Once you're done using the toaster, it must be unplugged. 

Or.... .what? It'll cause a fire? I don't know why, but she gets made if I don't unplug the toaster after using it. Every other kitchen appliance can be plugged in but this one and I've never understood why. 

Maybe one of you could help make sense of these "rules"

Have a good weekend folks!

That's :Mr Pibb: to you!

And finally, I got to try the original recipe. 

After so many year, Coke decided it was time to bring back the classic taste. I didn't know it when he gave me a 2 liter bottle of it. I thought it was just "cherry" flavored. Only after I finished the bottle did I realize online that this IS the original taste. 

So what did I think? Great. Oddly enough however, I think I enjoyed Pibb Xtra more! Maybe because that's really all of had over the past 35 years. 

But I'm glad they brought the original flavor back. I heard they're fading out Xtra but I really hope they keep both around in the future. Like Mountain Dew, they can rotate flavors in and out throughout the year and that would be ideal for me. 

Either way, words can't express how thankful i was to this guy for being so generous with his stash. I'd like to say I'd be the same way....but it is Pibb we're talking about here so I'm really not sure. 
 

Pibb Punchn Peach

 So the reason Pibb is coming out with different flavors I heard is because Dr Pepper is taking back distribution rights from Pepsi and Coke, now that their brand is so strong. Because of this, Coke is fighting back with Pibb and trying to give it a big push (in the big cities) for now. 

I love it. 

The peach flavor has a STRONG taste. Like biting into a juicy peach! Pretty good but again, this is a flavor I'd only try every once in a while. Not all the time. I enjoyed the cans he gifted me with but don't think I'd ever buy a 12 pack of these if I saw them. They're nice to have every once in a while for sure. 

Pibb Thrillin Vanilla

 Truth be told, I had vanilla flavored sodas. All of them....except maybe this one. Not my favorite but because it carries the taste of Pibb with it, it's bearable. The guy was very generous in giving me several cans of this, which I suspect was because he knew this was a flavor that gets old quick. 

Would I drink one again? Sure. Would I choose anything else over this one? Probably. 

But in my area, where Pibb is scarce, beggars can't be choosers. So if this is all I got, I'm not complaining.  

Pibb Zero

 If you don't know, I love me some pibb! A few months ago at a wedding, I made out like a bandit at the house where the reception was, when I discovered the owner of the house loved Pibb too. We went in the back of the house where he showed me all sorts of flavors from Pibb and even gave me a few of each to enjoy. 

Needless to say, I've been slowly drinking through my stash (once or twice a week) for the past few months and now it's time for my reviews!

First off is Pibb Zero. I've had this before because a friend of mine from Austin TX, came in one year with 2 cases of it. My response? "Are you asking for my hand in marriage? Because if so, the answer's yes!"

She wasn't, but I enjoyed the Pibb anyway. Not really that much of a difference, which is a good thing. I hear these are super hard to come by too, so I appreciated the gift. 

More reviews coming tomorrow...

Bang Lime Pop Drop (review)

I used to adore Bang energy. The Coke sued them, bankrupted them, bought them and cut out almost every flavor I enjoyed. 

Now I RARELY get them because the only flavor they still have around I like (Sour Heads) is impossible to find around here, plus I've moved on to Ghost energy drinks now. 

But whenever I see a new flavor...I have to try it for old times sake. 

The name alone reminded me of one of the my favorite flavors Lemon Drop so I was hoping for something good. Instead, I got middle of the road. 

It beats the Key Lime Pie flavor from back in the day (which was one of my least favorites) but fell short of expectations. 

I really wish they'd bring back the Lemon Drop flavor. (sigh)

Have a good weekend folks!

 

Dracula (Review)

 Holy cow, I've seen the best Dracula movie of all time. 

Not only that but (at the moment) the best streaming movie I've seen this year. Shockingly good. Excellent, I would even say. 

The trailer didn't look like much but my goodness, how this movie pays off. 

Well worth your time if you haven't seen it already. I couldn't believe how engaging the plot, characters and scenery was in this movie. Amazing. 

I just hope this isn't the only movie to "wow" me this year. 

See it. 

We Bury the Dead (review)

 When an explosion happens off the coast of Tasmania, it kills everyone within a 55 mile radius. Yet some are known to come back to life after the event. 

It's our protagonist job of cleaning up the dead, reporting those who still walk to the army to kill and (secretly) find out what happened to her husband. 

It's a "zombie" movie that wants to be something different and in return, ends of being something completely boring. 

It's been a long time since I've quit a movie halfway in. Usually, i can plow through it while playing games or looking up stuff on the internet. But not this one. It got so bad, that I ended up watching a history of the 1969 baseball season instead. It was THAT bad. 

What a waste of time, money and effort (if there was any) in this movie. Avoid at all cost. 

Outlander (review)

Catching up with my reviews of movies I've seen this year come "Outlander" from 2007. 

I never knew this movie even existed until a friend told me about it a few months ago. 

The story of man who crashes his spaceship on earth during the time of the vikings. With the help of a local clan, he tracks down a beasts that came with him on his ship. 

It's a wild tale that keeps you interested yet comes up short in ways I can't describe. I felt like the premise was there as well as some of the scenes but as a whole the movie was missing something to put it on a higher scale for me. 

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching the movie but in the end felt it came up short. 
 

Strange Harvest (review)

 A while back my nephew wanted to watch this movie made to look like a documentary (they even dedicated it to the fake victims in the film) about a serial killer who also has a supernatural essence surrounding his killings. 

Twice I had to remind his friends that this was a movie and not an actual event....yep. 

Guess the movie was so good it had them fooled....twice. I can't say for sure but I even think I saw one of them trying to look up information about the serial killer on the phone. 

Geez. 

Anyway, is it worth the watch? Meh. It's not bad but really nothing to impress. 

Ranking Baseball Cards: Triple Play

 In an attempt to lower the price point in the market, these cards were released in 92 at the low price of 99 cents. So that kids who didn't have money could collect a cheaper version of baseball cards. However, some of these sets surprised me. 

3) 92 Triple Play

Yeah, they look cheap don't they? I remember seeing these and laughing. Thinking little kids were getting ripped off and not even knowing it. They look more like "premium" Pinnacle cards than anything else. 

2) 94 Triple Play

Really good looking set. It's funny how this shoestring "cheap" version of baseball cards far exceeded the look of its rivals in such a short time. Love this look. 

1) 93 Triple Play

This was the set that made me do a double take when I first saw it. I loved it. I couldn't believe the "cheap" version of baseball cards looked so beautiful. So I collected the entire set. The packs were cheap and the common cards cheaper so it wasn't that hard. Its one of the biggest surprises in my collecting era. I never knew cheapo cards could look this good. 

That about wraps it up for baseball cards folks! Have a great weekend!

Ranking Baseball Cards: Pinnacle

 As always, Score was one step behind the competition and came out with their version of "premium" a year later in 92. Here's my short rankings of their mess. 

3) 92 Pinnacle

The fact that Score had the balls to call this "premium" is laughable. For a base Score set this would look decent. But "premium"? Dreaming!

2) 93 Pinnacle

It's funny but even with the Premium label these cards are far inferior to anything the base cards were showing us in their sets. Pathetic. 

1) 94 Pinnacle

Well look at this! they finally came out with a good looking design. I don't remember these, maybe it's because I never bothered to consider what Pinnacle was coming out with that year but these look ok. So maybe they did learn their lesson as time went on after all. Too bad it wasn't soon enough for me to ever care about collecting them. 
 

Survivor 50 vs Australian Survivor: Redemption

 Now that both seasons have wrapped, I'd like to compare the 2 seasons and see which one did it better. 

Crazy "Chaos" Caleb was the winner of Australian Survivor: Redemption. This season was excellent. All new, never-before-seen challenges and courses. Australian Survivor continues to keep the game fresh each season. 

David was the new host, a former player and one of my personal favorites of all time. But as the host...it felt weird. There's no doubt the Jonathan (the former host) was the heart of the show. He was sorely missed this season. 

However, this season had some excellent moments. It consisted of returning players and even some other players from over shows like Big Brother and Traitor. Other reality shows. I liked that idea. It's a pretty cool way to get interested across all your shows, putting them all on to one show. 

One of the most brilliant moves was when "Dirty" Harry got duped into outing himself as a snake in front of the entire tribe by a rookie player. He knew Harry wouldn't resist a chance to "screw" the tribe, so when he pretended to go along with it, then exposed Harry in front of everyone. When it happened, even Harry had to tip his hat with respect. Brilliant move. 

The show had a great cast of characters as always and the winner ended up being Caleb. A man who tried making big moves but no one took him serious and left him out of the vote the whole time. However, they all underestimated him. And when the contestants started getting voted off, his game started taking form and he ran away with it at the end. 

Sure he was pretty much seen as an idiot, even I thought so at first. But he never once hid his true self from anyone. He came to play the game and make big moves. In the end, he got his way. 

In the states they kicked off season 50. All returning players. Same old challenges. And the "twist" this season sucked. An Billy Eilish Idol that no one used properly and was less exciting since you couldn't play it for anyone else. A Jimmy Fallon challenge which was poorly planned out, yet oddly enough the Mr Beast challenge I enjoyed. Risking it all for big rewards or an ejection from the game. Pretty big stakes. I expect to see Devins in a Mr Beast video soon. 

There were some good moments, but not memorable. The Coach/Ozzie feud fizzled out when neither of them were able to go that deep in the game. Coach rants about honor, and Joe making it to the end "without" honor because he voted Coach off, yet Coach did the exact thing to Colby a few episodes earlier.

During the live show (which was great to see again) the once again slobbered over the most overrated contestant in Survivor history Cirie by bringing her out, handing her a little trophy and showing everyone that they really wished she could've won. Puh-lease! 

Then we have the winner Aubry. What an embarrassment. Someone who was on the outs the whole time. Stayed silent, kept her head down, rode on the coattails and big moves of others, claiming them for her own and getting votes other the other 2 finalist. 

Don't get me wrong, the final 3 weren't my ideal choice. Out of them, Jonathan should've won only because he beat the true winner Rizzo (Riz-god) in a fire making challenge in the end. I swear, that kid annoyed me in season 49, but I came around to like him in 50. He made me change my mind on him. I started rooting for him near the end. Smarter player than I knew. 

Between the 2 shows the clear winner for me was AZ Survivor. I just hope they can get another season greenlit, because I heard it's near canceling. That would be a shame. Because it's actually BETTER than the US one now and not many people outside of the states even know about it. 

Survivor 51? Sure, I'll watch it. But I don't expect it to be memorable at all. Survivor here in the US, sucks.    

Ranking Baseball Cards: Donruss Studio

 And finally in 91 Donruss also began their separate line of premium cards with a twist. The players weren't in action poses on the field but rather given professional looking shots in a studio. It was a unique idea which I loved. 

4) 92 Studio

In my opinion, this was the only set of Studio I thought looked hideous. My brother collected this set but I was turned off by the bland design. 

3) 94 Studio

Nice enough but each card was the exact same. The player's face and in the background a picture of their locker. Nothing else was unique about the cards. 

2) 93 Studio

Beautiful looking set. I should've collected it. I love the signatures with the jersey in the background. So wonderful. 

1) 91 Studio

But nothing beat the original. Man I went nuts when I first saw these cards. It was a low count to collect the whole set so I got them pretty easily. I thought "this is what I'm going to get every year they come out" But when I looked at 92, I realized they weren't always going to be perfect and moved on. Still, if you go online and look at some of these black and white photos they're simply breathtaking. 

Ranking Baseball Cards: Fleer Ultra

 Fleer also began its premium run in 91 like all the others and I collected two sets of them too!

4) 91 Fleer Ultra

This set reminds me of Buzz's girlfriend. WOOF! This set was ugly. I'm shocked they were allowed to print cards after this hideous monstrosity! 

3) 94 Fleer Ultra

Not a bad looking set. I remember seeing them back in the day (because the 2 years earlier I was ga-ga over this brand) but this was one I eventually passed on collecting. 

2) 93 Fleer Ultra

I remember both my brother and I collected these sets. We went nuts over the flaming baseball, which we thought was so cool. The marble look at the bottom was a nice touch too. 

1) 92 Fleer Ultra

This was one of the best looking sets I ever collected. Certainly a top tier card for me. I loved everything about these cards. By far, one of the best of all time in my opinion. 

Ranking Baseball Cards: Stadium Club

 Beginning in 91 Topps upped their game and brought out a premium card to rival Upper Deck. Here is my ranking of it's 4 entries in the years I was collecting. 

4) 94 Stadium Club

Doesn't this one scream 90s to you?? This one was a break away from there previous designs and isn't bad, but all the ones that came prior were better. 

3) 93 Stadium Club

Fun fact. I never collected an entire set of these cards. Not because I didn't like them but that they were a little pricey to get. Some I got more than others, but never could get a complete set. 

2) 92 Stadium Club

As you can see, each design was slightly different from the one that came before it. It highlighted the photo more than the frame, which was fine by me. 

1) 91 Stadium Club

But it just so happens that the first set they ever came out with was the best! I have a lot more of the 91 and 92 cards than anything else. I remember when these came out and I was like "Why can't Topps cards look like this?" Really exquisite sets if you had them in your collection back in the day.
