I had the Francis one and I think a Barrasso when I was younger. Pretty cool.
Some of those sports figures were very collectible for a short time around the 95 Olympics.
I remember my crazy aunt who heavily invested in Beanie Babies kept buying me the sports figures and no one let me open any of them.
The only figure I ever owned that was worth more than $5 was a Kurt Angle one from the Atlanta Games, and that didn’t even come from the crazy aunt. It came from a family friend who attended the Games.
I had a bunch of the goalies, I think there were 2 Barrasso’s. They made a patrick lalime penguins one which I always thought was funny considering he only played for us the one year then was back in the minors for 2 seasons, and also a run tugnutt penguins one after his small playoff run with us.
