pjb103183

I haven’t posted in quite some time, and figured I’d jump back on in high fashion with a rip thread!!.. We are under a stay at home order here in WV, and boredom has got the best of me! All of these packs came from past group rips except the 1976 which is a Gai 8 crackout that has been sitting in a drawer for years...10 card if I recall correctly...anyways I’m going to start ripping into these after I get a few drinks in me lol...will post results as I go...I encourage you all to join in and bust some old packs with me(come on you know you want to)

erikthredd

You picked two great years for some basketball potential there. Good Luck!

A Rusty Staub citing is always a good thing I loved to imitate his batting stance as a kid.

waiting for you to pull an Eckersley, Lebron, and Duncan.

Love the Nettles. Does the Rose have a bend at the bottom?

The only thing better than a big country appearance, is a Bosox1976 appearance. Hope all is well Mike.

Time to gamble.

Obviously not one of the draft picks you were hoping for, but coulda done a lot worse than AI and Vinsanity in a 4 card pack. Those 4 card packs are tough!

I am currently building a 1978 Topps Baseball set in mint condition. I have opened my share of wax packs along the way. I had no idea how difficult it would be. The centering on those cards is very difficult. Thanks for sharing, PJB.

BLUEJAYWAY

Nice centering on the Cromartie. The Nettles pose reminds me of Mattingly.

slimies

the kuiper is good.. i think he still holds record for baseball hr futility .. 1057 games , 1 homerun if i remember correctly

Pack 2

erikthredd

Decent hit with that MJ insert!

LarkinCollector

Kidd refractor looks really nice too!

pjb103183

Thanks guys...Those 2 packs were definitely better than the last 2 I opened...the MJ looks really nice ! I have a few more put away that I’ll most likely get into being at home so much

DBesse27

Those packs were good. Count me as one who didn’t remember Nique with the Spurs.

brad31

Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed seeing the ‘78s.

BLUEJAYWAY

Looks like most of your Finest cards have developed the green hue problem found on alot of Finest cards.
