Mission Complete: 1999 Pacific Crown Royale Baseball
About two years ago, I visited a card shop about 45 minutes away and picked up a slew of Pacific branded boxes. Among them was a 1999 Pacific Crown Royale box.
I’ve always loved Crown Royale and was feeling really nostalgic about it so I figured why not. At the time my son and I opened the packs and then they got tucked into a box and in the closet.
Fast forward to late last year and After my son verbally expressed he was starting to enjoy the hobby, it set off a bunch of nostalgia bells and we went to another local shop. Among the boxes for sale was another 1999 Pacific Crown Royale.
I bought it, figuring we could build the set with the cards bought two years prior.
So we ripped the box — lots of fun and talk about quality — and we ended up being four cards short.
Well, the four remaining cards arrived this week via purchases from SportLots and COMC. I’m happy to say the base set and insert sets are done.
So, I now present you with the entire base 1999 Pacific Crown Royale set with the two standard insert sets.
