1988 MRE case on Ebay

[Treesuit]

MREHeater72,

Okay, I took another look at the photo. I see the outer sleeve on the cartons but the production date is still murky. It's vague but I think it says 97 in the middle. I did not know the outer sleeves were rejected in 2000.

Hey I'm bidding on this case here and I am 100% sure this one is 1991.
The case isn't super pretty looking though - hopefully most the goodies are still intact inside the pouches.
I bought it mainly for the Freeze Dried fruit squares and the the nut cakes.. and not to mention the nostalgia! hah!

Man I hope I win these though because I'm going to do a 12-post review of it with pictures... it's going to be the most fun I'll be having in a long time.I'll also be posting a couple other unusual things I am bidding on now into the review forums - and all will have pictures including ones with me eating the old food.... I have been nuts the past week where I've been on ebay maybe 24 hours worth of time (Over the course of 7 days) looking for newly listed old mre cases, rcw's, mcw's, etc. or anything odd.

I even came across some of those ToTM training meals or whatever they are called. Too bad they are the most boring MRE's ever! Hah!

Never fear, I don´t out-bid you ! That´s a nice case, I´m curious for your review !

[steve1989]

Hey, thankyou mreheater! I'm going to take 2-3 pics of each item off each entree and do a full report on them and post it on the review forums. My mom is a professional with taking nice close-up pics so be prepared for some real nice detailed photos of that Ham Slice & Chocolate Nut Cake! heheheh

My max bid is currently at such a high and outrageous price that if someone outbids me I would be surprised because I can't figure an old case going for any much higher than a brand new case.

I ended up snagging a 97A, 97B, and the 94 and 92 cases from Kix414 and they showed up well wrapped and in good condition with straps. So if you need a 97 A or B for your collection now's your chance!
