    Cheerios

    I had been wanting to pick up one of these just to have one. Got it today and this is what I see. Didn't cost me anything but still disappointing. Poor handling.

      Too bad you didn't get one that was packed before the guy had his sloppy joe for lunch.

        although the big TPGs wont do it... THOSE are true early release/first strike ... made in 1999 for inclusion in January 1 2000 Cheerios boxes..
        Now if you could just get one with a Sac in it.... in any shape... then you would have something

          Yup, the sac is a rare pattern with special tail feathers.
          (most are but some are normal)
          Years ago I saw a set with the Sac and the cent in a dealer junk bin for $2. I didn't buy it because I don't collect Sacs and thought $2 was a lot since I only wanted the cent. A few months later I read that those Sacs were special and selling for thousands. I went back to that shop and sorted through the junk bin but it was gone!
          I was really bummed, I passed on what would have been a super cherry pick!!!!!!

            Cool addition to your collection! Too bad somebody thumbed it so badly during packaging.....nonetheless, it's still cool.
