Breakin' Wax:1995 Skybox Impact Football

My final box break thanks to Shane over at Project Pedro Blog, comes the action packed Skybox Impact!

I remember going to Ames once a week and finding some packs of this to open in the car. I also found some at the local pharmacy as well.

It's a product I have come to try and build a master set of. As anyone who knows how hard it is to build a master set, building one from the 90's is even more challenging.

But, I will get there.

Let's see how my final box went from Shane.

 

In this box of 1995 Skybox Impact, I got to open 36 packs of 12 cards. There are inserts aplenty in the product!

I should note before going on, this wasn't a very fun box to open only because the cards were bricks sadly. But, I did manage through and not too many cards were damaged.

The base card set features decent photography and a touch of foil on the players first name. There are 200 cards to collect in the base set including veterans

Rookies

Super Bowl subset

Jags and Panthers innagural season subset

Super Sophs subset

And The Specialists subset.

The inserts was where it was at for me. I still have mine from 1995 and have been adding to it ever since.

Impact Power inserts fell 1:3 packs. These were all dupes here

And these were new to my set chase. There are 30 to chase in all.

My favorite insert was this Countdown to Impact cards that fell 1:20 packs. I beat the odds here with those. There are 10 of these to collect and i like the fact the numbers on the card are embossed. I am slowly creeping towards the set. The Deion I had, but Barry I needed.

 

And finally, Fox Same Game, More Attitude cards fell 1:9 packs and have 15 cards to collect. This is another one I am creeping towards. A couple of these were set dupes.

Well, that does it for the box breaks from Shane. Thanks goes out to Shane for the trade and hopefully we can keep our tradition alive again this year and do it again.
