Back to the Future II trading cards revealed!
Finally two posts in one day!! It would seem that I was teasing everyone with a day of two posts. There has been some request that I open the sealed pack of Back to the Future II cards I aquired on vacation. I was just as curious, and figured, what the hell!? Let’s have a look-see.
Sealed pack.
Trading cards.
Ancient gum.
I did not get one single cool card. No glimpse of the future. I must aquire a hoverboard card! The pack is copyrighted 1989. Ther is no way that I will try to chew 21 year old gum! Isn’t gum supposed to stretch? That’s not the case with this shit! I was able to break it into gum shredding shards. Here’s a look at a few of my favorite cards.
The sticker is my personal favorite. That is a pretty sweet jacket Marty has. The “Retrieving the almanac” card gained my favor by having a Pee Wee Herman look alike wearing a red tie. And any card that has two different frames on it is instantly cool. I’ll be honest and tell you that it has been many years since I last saw this movie. Upon viewing these cards, I realised that I must soon watch it again. Stay tuned for future trading card adventures!

You got a Biff’s Pleasure Paradise card! Great movie. I wasn’t a fan when it first came out, but as the years have passed, my dislike for the movie has turned into acceptance. On another note, I found a pack of reissued Garbage Pail Kids the other day at FYE. I haven’t opened it yet and I don’t know if I’ll write about it, but if you’re a fan and you have an FYE nearby, it’s worth a look.

I have a bunch of the reissued GPKs. Not anything brand new, mind you. I picked up a couple packs around 04, and got a gold foil Adam Bomb. That has always been one of my favorites. My all-time favorite would have to be Split Kit.

A few months ago I picked up several packs of the original TMNT movie cards at the local supermarket. The gum looked just like the pics you posted. I tried a small piece and it was hard and had little taste. I didn’t die though.

I’d love to get my hands on some of those. Do they have any more? If so, let me know how much, and maybe we can reach an agreement. 🙂

I’m always nervous to open ‘wax’ or gum packs… it never fails, the cards have gum stains and I think they’re generally more valuable sealed for that reason…
But you go you intrepid explorer you!
