Another unwise choice

I picked up an 800-count box on eBay for $8. Penny a card which is good. But I was still kind of foolish. It advertised being 1994 Upper Deck, Donruss and Church's Chicken, which I would not ordinarily be interested in having already completed the Donruss and UD sets. But there were some loose cards from other sets on top, including a card from 1998 Metal that I am trying to complete. So I figured maybe there would be a lot of variety and took a gamble.

Turns out there was a lot less variety than I thought. Other than these three cards it was just cards from four different sets. At least I needed the Griffey and the Marino will fit into my football card collection. The basketball card is available though do note that it is creased (all three are creased actually).

This was the other set in the box. 2017 El Paso Chihuahuas (D-Backs minor league team). It's a full set, no big stars but a few names I recognize. I didn't have any of these cards so it's a nice little addition.

The rest of the box was pretty much as advertised. My fault for expecting something different. There are some silver linings though.

That huge stack of 1994 UD is actually all 1994 UD minors. I still needed a fair amount of cards from that set so I was able to knock out a lot of needs. Still tons left over and lots of dupes of big names like Damon and Giambi. If you have needs from that set let me know.

1994 Donruss - that's all dupes there. Mostly commons but a few stars. Again, anyone have needs here let me know.

Finally, the 1994 Church's Chicken set. It's only a 28-card set so you can see there is a lot of duplication. And no complete set as there were no cards of Bagwell, Maddux, Piazza or Sandberg. But what makes it a little more interesting is that there was actually a parallel set with gold lettering, pretty unusual for a mid-1990s food issue. And those cards were plentiful here, in fact some players just had gold cards and not base cards.

Here are the cards available from this set, maybe you need them for your team or player collection. In many cases I have multiple available including golds. 

McRae (gold); Gooden (base & gold); Sierra (base & gold); Puckett (base & gold); Dykstra (base & gold); Salmon (base); Matt Williams (base & gold); Roberto Alomar (base & gold); Clemens (base); Fryman (base & gold); Ventura (base & gold); Sheffield (base & gold); Baerga (base & gold); Jay Bell (base & gold); Edgar Martinez (base); Plantier (base); Tartabull (base); Grissom (base & gold); Yount (base); Ozzie Smith (base & gold); Ivan Rodriguez (base & gold); Bichette (gold).
