'76 & '80 Topps BKB Popped (now scan heavy)

kencope · June 17, 2015 4:47AM

I was honestly a little disappointed, as i was just absolutely sure i'd get at lease 1 "10" fro the '76 vending box I opened. Some look much stronger than these grades, but I'm in the camp that grading is so subjective it just depends on who you get and how they're feeling that day. Can share some scans when they come in. Might submit a few more from the '76 vending box and take a chance.

That's a lot of cards from one vending box. Actually that's a pretty great vending box! Maybe you could look over some of the 9s and crack and resub.

grote15 · June 17, 2015 4:56AM

10s asre very tough to get on mid-70s issues. Pretty strong grades overall, though.

RookieWax · June 17, 2015 5:09AM

Gotta love 1970s basketball. Some scans would be great when you get them back. I am sure even the 7s are sharp, high-end cards.

olb31 · June 17, 2015 5:38AM

Just checked out BBCE and they are almost completely dry of unopened basketball pre 1986. I imagine not alot was originally printed.

MULLINS5 · June 17, 2015 6:01AM

Bummer there isn't even a single 8.5 as I'm sure they're all high-end for the grade.

olb31 · June 17, 2015 6:34AM

<< <i>Bummer there isn't even a single 8.5 as I'm sure they're all high-end for the grade. >>

I think the .5 is "somewhat reserved" for reviews, because I rarely get more than 1 or 2 on 300 card orders.

kencope · June 17, 2015 8:43AM

Thanks for the comments. Will definitely get some scans up once they come in. Might tease you all with some scans of cards that i didn't feel were grade worthy (but are still really, really nice). It was certainly a fun box to open and go through. Coallation is awesome and I should get at least 4 full sets with lots of extras from the box.

kencope · June 17, 2015 8:47AM

Will definitely get you all some scans once they come in. Might even tease you with some scans of the raws that I didn't feel were "grade worthy". Was a really fun box to open and go through. Should get at least 4 complete sets and tons of extras out of it, all in really, really great condition.

ldferg · June 17, 2015 9:21AM

Sorry for the lack of any 10s, but vending is tough. Congrats on the mint ones you did land. Looking forward to the scans.

Did you pick up the fending from bbce?

dtkk49a · June 17, 2015 12:44PM

Please post scans of some of the cards you thought should've graded higher. You probably have some high end 7's and 8's in that group.

DanBessette · June 17, 2015 1:01PM

As a Celtics fan I can't wait to see the Archibald 9's!

kencope · June 20, 2015 9:09AM

added scans....

vintagefun · June 20, 2015 9:18AM

Great looking cards.

The 76s came from vending? What did a 76 BK vending box look like?

RookieWax · June 20, 2015 9:25AM

WOW! Not a single 10? That is just wrong for cards that look like that.

jmsodpc · June 20, 2015 10:01AM

i got one of these vending boxes from Steve Taft a few yrs ago...these large cards sure are cool.
ebay has a few wax boxes of this year too.

PaulMaul · June 20, 2015 10:26AM

I think there was a find of '76 Basketball wax boxes in the last 10 years. Empty boxes were all over eBay at one point.

detroitfan2 · June 20, 2015 10:28AM

I still say making a living as a barber had to be a tough gig in the mid to late 70's.

Sweet cards.

MULLINS5 · June 20, 2015 10:45AM

Have some real nice Blazers in there. . . .

DanBessette · June 20, 2015 1:37PM

So much goodness! I'm a huge providence college fan, so the Barnes jumped out to me. Thanks for posting photos of the archibalds. Love the look of the Moses pose and the action shots of Bing, McAdoo and Free. The Kareem card is a classic. And as others alluded to, loving the 'fros!

kencope · June 21, 2015 4:01AM

Double post, sorry.

kencope · June 21, 2015 4:37AM

Thanks for all of the comments!

In answer to some of the questions:

The vending box is the basic red/white/blue with the picture of the boy and girl that just says "Trading Cards". "500-count Vending Pack" up in the corner.

I also thought I'd get at least one 10 from the group, but I know these are really condition sensitive. Grading is so subjective and depends on the grader/day, so I may break some out and re-submit. Likely will split them up into a few complete sets and sell them off that way.

If anyone has interest, just let me know. Thanks!

Tibor · June 22, 2015 10:41PM

The 76-77 set is a favorite of mine. I bought mine in
1985. How much are they going for now?

kencope · June 23, 2015 12:59PM

I think it varies greatly on condition, but seems to be in the $150-$300 range.

kencope · July 3, 2015 1:07AM

listed a couple of the sets on ebay if anyone is interested

ElToroLoco · July 3, 2015 4:06AM

I am interested in a few of those PSA 7,8s. Maravich, Kareem, Dr J, etc.Please PM me a list of prices. Thanks

kencope · July 4, 2015 1:03AM

Hi There,

After making sets out of the box and graded, I only have one extra left that's graded, which is an Erving PSA 7. Can do $35 dlvd gift on that. LMK if interested. Thanks!

heritage · July 4, 2015 4:22AM

Those look very nice I like the color on this set. I am putting the set together in high end raw. I am down to a small needs list now.

kencope · July 4, 2015 8:18AM

Feel free to post your needs list if you'd like. I have some extras. Thanks! -Ken

ned ryerson wants to know if this card is for sale

kencope · July 4, 2015 11:57PM

Not sure I get the Groundhog Day joke......?

It's part of one of my sets, but I'd listen to an offer if it's a strong one. Thanks!
