1992 Action Packed Football box break Packs 1-6

You all know why I've brought you here.... a little Action Packed! Action Packed did football cards in the early '90's. But not just any football cards. 3D relief textured super touchyfeely football cards.
Upon opening the box, I find this!
An order form for super cool Action Packed stuff! If anyone has one of those leather jackets in a 52 Extra Tall, let me know.

The wrapper.
For the '91 set, the wrapper was black. In '92, it's white. Now you know.

The Lions and those facemasks...thick and, well, thick. I gotta say, during my senior year of football we ordered our own facemasks (the cool LB ones, not the nancy generic lineman ones), the "Detroit" as it was called, was not on our list.

Chris Miller

He used to hang out at the bars around Eugene and Springfield. One night in 92-93 he was at the Poor Boy Tavern on 42nd in Springfield. I lived 1/2 mile from there. My brother came in at 11 or 12 to get some Miller cards. The cards were those Fleer Ultra ones that I think they actually inserted auto versions into packs. Took them up there and got them signed. Still Got em.
