In fact, I have 10x more 1988 Kenner cards (red borders) compared to the 1989 (green borders).<br /><br />I'm probably going out on a limb, but I think there's a chance Kenner SLU's make a comeback. Well. At least the high grade ones. I feel that so many collectors (including myself) have figured that they aren't worth anything, so we open them up, take out the card, and display the figure. So maybe one day, high grade figures of key pieces will command more than $2.50 each.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962620695375349865.post-64049143028873623832018-03-20T08:12:33.996-05:002018-03-20T08:12:33.996-05:00I have a ton of starting lineups.

I busted 'em open, kept the cards and my wife gave the figures away to her students as prizes I think...shoeboxlegendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642879419337014960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962620695375349865.post-46681499446334103332018-03-19T18:00:33.205-05:002018-03-19T18:00:33.205-05:00..around 2001, I believe.

I stopped collecting by the time Imports Dragon took over. <br /><br />I was a huge SLU junkie, but because I played with them as a kid and lost a few along the way I never had an actual count. 200 is quite impressive, I might have had a little over 100 at a time. Still have about 50 sealed SLUs in my collection.

I know they lost the license during the 1998-99 season/lockout for the NBA, not sure when they lost the other sports.Billy Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847326710191224832noreply@blogger.com
