Fun mail day - even got my wife involved

Got my packs back from PSA today. Sure enough the seal had broken on 2 of the 79’s. Oh well it just gave me an excuse to open them. Nothing big but a few nicely centered sharp commons that will upgrade the ones in my raw set. I dared my wife to chew the gum and she took the challenge. She couldn’t do it for more than 10 seconds. She said it just disintegrated when she bit it 😂. Fun night for me and glad she shared it with me.






I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid.

    Nice haul of packs, and bravo to your wife for not backing down. I'm assuming that the 1986, 1987, and 1990 packs are for an 80s run.

    How were the grades on the 78 through 80?

    I had a seal pop on a 1980 super cello recently, just heartbreaking. Glad you were able to reap the benefits and upgrade your set!

    Thanks ! Shes a trooper, haha. Yeah I had the packs from different bbce buys so I sent them all. I figured I'd sell some of the doubles and keep the last 3 for my PC. I don't have them graded yet.

    Great cards! But after reading Nendee's post on divorce and his collection I am keeping my wife away from my cads or any stale gum.
