Skybox did some odd ranges and some odd cards. I don't think I'm being harsh, saying that. (Last week I blogged about a card I labelled "whacky") The Emotion ranges in the mid-90s are similarly strange. Not least the choice of "emotion". Last time I blogged one of these cards I queried whether the emotion was actually an emotion.
I'm going to do the same thing here.
Card Number 474: Skybox Emotion, 1995; #187
The emotion they chose to highlight was "Scholar". There's no debate here, is there? I mean, that just isn't an emotion.
It's a great photo though. It looks like Tony is saying "ooooooh".
The back is a confusing composite of different photos, which includes Tony with and without his Van Dyck beard.
Last week I said that i doubted any collector misses Skybox. That's not going to change soon.
Total: 474 cards
Yeah... "scholar" is definitely NOT an emotion. That being said... I do love this set. Actually I'd love to own the baseball, basketball, and hockey sets and put them into binders one day.
ReplyDeleteI love these sets I got baseball,football,and basketball.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I was wrong about the lack of love for Skybox. Glad the sets are still popular.
