Those were the days! I bet we had some 70s baseball, too!
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
I pulled a Jordan RC that ended up grading PSA 8 from that one. Still have the rest of the cards from these packs.
We also did a box of 1972 Topps Baseball Series 5/6 in that rip and from my packs came a Ryan (PSA 7), Rose (PSA 8.5) and about a dozen PSA 9/10 commons.
Ok so for the folks that were in on this - (grote and 70topps) to start. We all have serious wax from this break- it’s still the core of my graded wax. And drum roll - here was the group break:

It had to be the most complicated break and send Steve ever ran. I remember he’d have to send them in batches - because he’d randomize packs, wrap seal, send. He did all the break outs I think. Are any other folks from that break still active here?

Dave, I still have the Jordan I bought from you. I had it reholdered a few years ago.

Yes, I participated, under my old username. Sadly I passed on the '86 packs, I got in just to break some wax. If I remember correctly, there were other big breaks around that time, as I secured the majority of old school FASC wrap boxes I have in my collection. The good times for sure. Mark spent a lot of time hosting the breaks, wonder where he is today?

Classic rip. For the entire group rip we bought over 40k from Steve.

Here are my two packs that I got graded
When I received the packs back from PSA, there was a small tear on bottom left. What impact will this have on price? 95% of market value?
Here's the original thread. IIRC, all 3 Jordan's were pulled, so it's unlikely there's any in my two packs.
