Cheap Wax Wednesday - Episode 41 - 1997 Pacific Invincible Football

As the NFL postseason winds down, so do my football breaks. This will be my second to last football break this season, with my final football break of the season coming next week, before the Super Bowl. At that time I will be switching back over to my favorite sport, baseball. This change comes at a perfect time for me personally, as my beloved Patriots have just been knocked out of the postseason, and I just spent the weekend surrounded by Red Sox fans and players at Winter Weekend. I should type up a post about my experience there, and will once the photos are taken by photographers at the event are uploaded.

Anyways, back to the matter at hand, Episode 41 of #CheapWaxWednesday!

This week I am sharing my break of 1997 Pacific Invincible Football!
This box was on the higher end of the "cheap wax" spectrum, costing me $45.
Box configuration: 36 packs per box, 3 cards per pack
Pack 1 highlights: Kerry Collins & Thurman Thomas Smash Mouth
Pack 2: Stan Humphries & Eddie George Smash Mouth X-tra
Pack 3: Thurman Thomas
Pack 4: Sedrick Shaw & Curtis Martin Smash Mouth X-tra
Pack 5: Vinny Testaverde & Derrick Mason Smash Mouth X-tra
Pack 6: Darryl Talley & Kerry Collins Smash Mouth X-tra
Pack 7: Larry Centers & James Farrior Smash Mouth
Pack 8: Sean Dawkins
Pack 9: Ed McCaffrey (his son is looking like a solid player as well, in college at least)
Pack 10: Herman Moore & Napoleon Kaufman Smash Mouth X-tra
Pack 11: Randall Hill & Derrick Mason Smash Mouth
Pack 12: Greg Lloyd
Pack 13: Jimmy Smith
Pack 14: Dorsey Levens, Dave Brown Silver (2 in every 37 packs) & Antowan Smith Smash Mouth X-tra
Pack 15: Brett Perriman & Rodney Hampton Smash Mouth X-tra
Pack 16: Wayne Chrebet
Pack 17: Randal Hill & two John Elway Feel the Power Instant Win cards (1:95 packs!) Too bad I didn't pull these back in 1997!
Pack 18: Michael Haynes & Neil O'Donnell Platinum Blue (1:73 packs)
Pack 19: Mario Bates
Pack 20: Brian Stablein & Dan Marino Pop Cards (2:37 packs)
Pack 21: Marshall Faulk
Pack 22: Bert Emanuel
Pack 23: Tshimanga Biakabutuka, Marshall Faulk Smash Mouth & Troy Aikman Smash Mouth
Pack 24: Todd Collins & Kerry Collins Moments in Time (1:73 packs)
Pack 25: Jerome Bettis, showing off the Pro Bowl jersey
Pack 26: Darnell Autry & Karim Abdul-Jabbar Smash Mouth X-tra
Pack 27: Kordell Stewart & John Lynch Smash Mouth
Pack 28: Emmitt Smith, Kerry Collins Pop Cards (2:37 packs) & John Elway Smash Mouth X-tra
Pack 29: Edgar Bennett
Pack 30: Scott Mitchell, John Elway Smash Mouth & Jerry Rice Smash Mouth X-tra
Pack 31: John Elway
Pack 32: Jamal "Dirty Bird" Anderson
Pack 33: Tim Brown, Mark Brunell (absolutely no idea what this card as, as it looks nothing like any other cards pulled from this box) & Gus Frerotte Smash Mouth X-tra
Pack 34: Bobby Hoying & Corey Dillon Smash Mouth
Pack 35: Raymont Harris & Corey Dillon Silver (2:37 packs)
Pack 36: Chris Sanders

Another good break. Really slow through the first half of the box, most of the inserts and parallels showed up in the second half. The double Elway instant win inserts were interesting, with two cards coming in the same pack, advertised as 1 in every 95 packs! Too bad I was 18 years late pulling those!

Thank you for checking in once again! Come back next week for my LAST football break of the season! Can't wait to get back into break baseball!
