captain_slinkyMore "Box Research". I like to use LJ as a notepad sometimes :) But hey, if anybody reading this knows a good place to get cheap packs of trading cards from the 1980's please let me know thanks ;)
"Rock Superstars", New Kids On The Block" and "Ghostbusters II" are questionably 90's rather than 80's right? Ghostbusters II was in 1989, New Kids On The Block formed in '84 but this card series was from when they finally made it big in '88/'89, and the Rock Superstars card set didn't come out till '91, though I have seen it and it's all late-80's rockers (pictured on the box are Janet Jackson and Chris Issak, and the packs themselves feature Billy Idol and Madonna).
The goal is to offer three packs of cards per "Box"... or maybe two packs and some stickers? Wish I could find a better source for random 1980's trading cards. Found a place that supplies LOOSE cards in batches of 2400, maybe go with those and make my own packs?
Hang on... that's not a bad idea... put a pin in that one.
MAKE MY OWN PACKS. Ten random cards from various 80's franchises, print my own wrappers with my own logo... hmmmmm... can you print on wax paper?
