Those old Kings unis were 🔥 and those straight leg pants the Flyers wore were 🤮

dad2cl3 · May 30, 2020 2:53PM

Those old Cooper helmets were so comfortable! Sad when they stopped making them.

Loved those Vancouver unis!

Frozencaribou · May 30, 2020 3:45PM

Such a fun year to rip. Thanks for sharing. My favourite from that year is the Lindbergh rookie. Hope you pull a gem

GreenSneakers · May 30, 2020 4:11PM

Doug Sulliman was an underrated player, but those Cooperalls are doing him no favors.

Frozencaribou · May 30, 2020 4:37PM

What kind of education was UNH providing in the 70’s that Rod Langway would figure it was a fine idea to go all flow in the NHL?

80sOPC · May 30, 2020 6:06PM

For me this set is about Stevens. You also have a few recent HOF intros in Carbo and Housley, both questionable IMO.

Nicholls had a crazy run, more then 40 three times including 70 once. 475 goals, 1200 points.

Cool break! Will be following this one.

brad31 · May 30, 2020 6:22PM

Awesome to watch your break. Good luck with the rest of the box.

jordangretzkyfan · May 30, 2020 8:40PM

Nice start...love these cards. Looking forward to the rest of the break!

Horse · May 31, 2020 11:47AM

This is a fun box. Huge 48 packer that will take a while Overall so far it;s not a box with centering completely all over the place. Do see some grading candidates. Anyone here do the set ? Will check pop reports of course but if you see any sure fire ones please advise.

Another gummed Gretzky.

Woah, nice rip! Interested in the Stevens's, and if you pull any Pelle Lindbergh, Guy Carbonneau or Phil Housely and are looking to move them.

Horse · May 31, 2020 1:49PM

Ok on the above. Will ping back this week sometime.

This guy **IS **the epitome of Hockey !!!!!

Horse, great break! - You should think about putting the Lindbergh rookie in a Card Saver

brad31 · May 31, 2020 7:01PM

Have always liked the trophy cards from that set.

burghman · May 31, 2020 7:35PM

Ronnie Francis in the long pants too - I forgot Hartford wore them... thought it was just Philly. Some well centered cards with nice corners, Horse - congrats.

JoeBanzai · May 31, 2020 7:44PM

Thanks for sharing!

dad2cl3 · June 1, 2020 3:52AM

So many future coaches! What a great rip!

RedHeart54 · June 1, 2020 4:27AM

I remember OPC gum was better tasting and more chewy than Topps gum so whatever made up its recipe makes it unforgiving to the cards in these '80s packs.

Horse · June 3, 2020 2:00PM

Do you know what THIS IS ?

THIS IS an unattended half a hockey box sitting on the dining table for a few days now that is really upsetting my wife !

.
Commencing rip. But I like stuff like this sitting around the house.

Horse · June 3, 2020 2:44PM

I don't see large print dots on other cards, or so many of the main player being the gum card in other boxes Just my luck. LOTS of gradeables continue to come in, but what the heck do I do at 9 bucks a pop ? It's 10's or nuttin' again and my luck with that sheet is like obsolete.

jeffv96masters · June 4, 2020 1:06AM

Sitting around aye ? Some personal familiarity with that particular spousal discussion

Horse · June 4, 2020 6:08AM

That is most glorious card slothery !!

Well done !!!!

Horse · June 4, 2020 2:23PM

ROCK ON LANNY !!! ROCK ON FOREVER YOU GORGEOUS HUNK OF MAN MEAT STUD MUFFIN !!!!

.
The ONE card which I think is the best of the set, comes out like this:

rmh111985 · June 4, 2020 2:27PM

That Lanny in a Molson jersey is pretty awesome as well.

dad2cl3 · June 5, 2020 4:38AM

I could look at hockey cards all day long! Such a great sport!

Horse · June 6, 2020 8:51AM

Rest of the box !

Will wait until completely buzzed now to go through them all again looking for gradeable cards. I can make 8's magically turn in to 10's in my mind after 12 Mich Ultras !!

(but then the morning after check removes some from the send for grading stack at times)

milbroco · June 7, 2020 4:07PM

Great Rip!. Did you get a Scott Stevens? I ripped a lot of this set back in the day. I sent in 2 Scott Stevens and got PSA 10 on both. A 9 on Lindbergh, and 2 PSA 9's on 2 Gretzky's.

After your set, I would be interested in any of the Flyers.

thanks,
Bob

Bosox1976 · June 7, 2020 6:10PM

It is just fun to say "Record Battu"

He did post a scan/photo of one Stevens earlier on in the thread.

milbroco · June 7, 2020 6:20PM

I see the Stevens now. Looks really nice and gradeable.

hey Bob, I'll pull out the Flyers today or tomorrow, not building the set so you can have all the ones not deemed '10 worthy' which I think is all of them Will get back to you.

Did get one very good Stevens !

milbroco · June 8, 2020 7:54AM

AWESOME! Thanks!
Good luck with that Stevens......hoping for a 10 for you!
thanks,
Bob
