Thank you again for putting this all together and another thank you to Steve at BBCE for the patience of dealing with all of us.
Here is my haul before the carnage...minus the 1993 Topps Box....
Here are a few of the HOFers...there were plenty more, but these were pretty...yes I know, Garvey isn't in.
Then in one of my 1984 Rack Packs, I found this guy....
and THEN...on the 36th and last pack of the whole box I found another Yankee...
My apologies if some of my comments aren't timely. I was away for the weekend at my son's basketball tournament so I am playing catchup.

what is happening with 3 Boyz? I also have some 96/7 Chrome due and was wondering if that box is cancelled if he has not shown up. AS I have not received shipping notification
Manny, you probably already received your packs, but if not... you will get your 96 Chrome shipped. Steve honored the sales even though 3boyztrading went MIA,

Steve, beautiful pack with Yaz on back! I'm looking forward to opening my box later tonight!
Thanks Tim, it was a nice surprise for sure.

I bought a pack from each box of the 80 Basketball. One pack at the green s"W/" sticker and the other had the "W/O" sticker. I could be wrong, but I think that the green is just from the box that had the Bird/Magic. Mine had no starts showing that I could see. The back card for sure was a common, it was easy to see.
You are correct. W sticker simply denotes it came from Box 1 (Magic Bird showing box) amd W/O denotes a pack from Box 2.
So here is the spread before rippage (minus the 82D box which has already been hidden from myself).
My plan of attack is to rip all of the 84T in search of a gem Mattingly. There was nothing to note showing on any of the cello packs. I'll just keep the 82 and 85 intact for now. I'll bust the 93T box to complete my set (hopefully) for my run. If I find a Jeter in there great, I already have one probably a 9 if I subbed, but it will be fun either way. I must have been 14 or 15 the last time I opened a pack of 93T.

for those who will be allowing golf cards to breathe, there is a glimmer of hope. my rip was very underwhelming, which is exactly where my bar of expectations resided and is exactly what i've become accustomed to when i open packs. no rory sightings and a few inconsequential '14 UD SP base tigers........but i did receive a little eye candy, with the Wie /25 rook graph being the best card i pulled. (has a compromised t/r corner tho.)
good luck amigos
Stephen, I don't know anything about golf cards. Those LPGA autos have no value? Those are three pretty popular players, no? The dual auto is a nice looking card.
Always a blast to have a rip fest, thanks Steve and Steve!
First up, I added 7 retail blasters of 12 SP Golf, Lehman swatch was my only hit from those. I did manage to pull an auto out of the 01 SP Auth packs. Tiger and Ariya both /100 out of the 14 GU, too bad the Tiger wasn't an auto'd version. A little color out of my 14 SP Auth.
Rookie autos and thick cards, like galaxy my bigger hits were from the LPGA.
SOTT, no idea how the 2012 Kuchar got inserted in a 2014 box, but it was my fourth auto out of that box.
Ripped 3 of my 4 87 UK minis, one had Largent showing if @Largentcollector is interested. Really nice Montana, but not sure how PSA grades the rough cut on these.
My haul just arrived. Very nice! Am happy with everything 😃🤪
2ea 1982 Donruss Wax Box FASC - Both boxes are very clean with minimal wear. Winner winner chicken 🐔 dinner
2ea 1983 Topps Rack Packs - Nice crisp packs. The center cell on both with that typical edge damage that you see in so many racks from this period. Tommy Lasorda with Jack Clark on the same Pack is the highlight. Backs are very clean with zero edge issues but no star power.
4ea. 1984 Topps Rack Packs - Super crisp with no edge issues front or back. Anchored by one pack with Cal Ripken Jr. showing 😃 and another with possible future HOF’er Tommy John showing. I really think he belongs given his 288 wins and how successful he was AFTER having the original name sake surgery that is performed almost routinely now. No star power on backs
4ea 1978 OPC Wax packs - Superb tight folds on the backs of all four!
Gum is intact on two of the four packs. No stars on the easier to tell backs but definitely a #225 Mike Schmidt on the front of one (Broken gum) and #185 Willie McCovey (Intact gum) on another!!!! 👍🏻😃
Last but not least, the empty very clean 1978 OPC box with severed original tape broken by BBCE!
Here's mine. Opened one of the 82 Topps that had a rip in the wrapper. The Yaz backed 83 Fleer has a broken seal, so I'll probably open that one soon. Nice 84 Topps with Seaver on top!
Love that my 87 Donruss box has Canseco on on the bottom.
"The Sipe market is ridiculous right now" CDsNuts, 1/9/15
@softparade - it's a mix although most are intact. The gum is not intact in the Bird/Magic Rookie, Kinda split in half I think. My 79 Hockey are like what others described with the off center wrapper. I am not sure what I will do, I may just leave the Hockey not graded for now in case I want to open.
When I saw Dr. J in the middle and the graphic ball at top I got pretty excited. I then brought up an image of the card because I couldn't remember the details of it precisely in my head. It was the white shoulder and it's curves of Dr. J's defender that got the adrenaline going as It stands out good. I was not anticipating getting the pack I just knew we all would get some nice trustworthy BBCE packs with this break and was happy about that. The rest is icing and got lucky!!
My Break results. Not much star power showing unfortunately. The 87 UK FB does have Montana face out on back of one and Payton face out on back of another. 88F BK I can see stickers of Bird, Ewing and Drexler. Not much else on the others that I can see. One Star Wars pack looks solid, the other has a pretty rough corner. At least I scored an 80/81 BK empty box in the raffle.

got my pack today! Thanks Steve and Steve! I can't wait for the next break! I regret not getting one star wars pack. I don't collect them but I like the design of the pack!
congrats on the Bird/Magic pack and the Montana. You may not have gotten the empty 76 cello box as I suggested but karma has its way. Guess I won't be ripping my '81 FB cellos--lol

Is this some type of 93T hot box? Gold Jeter please! I realize it is one gold per pack but back to back Thomas and Griffey is cool.
Wow...that is a dream box. You would have had to pick me up off the floor if I hit those cards in 1993! Heck, who am I kidding...I would be on the floor today still 😉
Ugh, this thread... I was all set to send in my 79 hockey packs for grading and saving, but then I see no Wayne’s being pulled yet. Argh! Decisions decisions!

Got my 15 wax packs of 83 topps baseball. Packs look pretty good, I can't see through the
backs well enough to tell who any of the players are.

I think USPS shipped faster than UPS. I believe he shipped USPS Priority which is usually 2-3 days, but I am guessing he used UPS ground.
Close but no cigar. I can't see the players clearly, but the color on the borders of each third are not the right colors to be the big hit.
Stephen, I don't know anything about golf cards. Those LPGA autos have no value? Those are three pretty popular players, no? The dual auto is a nice looking card.
No luck finding the gem Mattingly. I got these. Some of these are a blast from the past.

Busted one of my 2 79 Hockey packs as wrapper wasn’t great, not worth grading.
No Wayne, nothing too special. Any hockey guys need a card here, PM me and happy to send.
I love seeing pack-fresh OPC Hockey cards from the '70s and '80s. Warms the cockles of my heart. I think I need to go hold some of my own.

Decided to rip my 2nd 79 Hockey. No Wayne signing but overall a clean pack, a decent Bossy and the flying Ron Duguay.
I did end up pulling this, but it's definitely not a 10. You probably can't see it in the pic but the bottom left corner is slightly touched as well.
