That's pretty much a wrap on this 75 Vending Box. There is a stack of about 100 commons that are nicely centered.
How do you feel overall about the 75 rip? It's always been one of my favorites!
Overall I am pretty happy! Some nicely centered/sharp cards and tilt was not present with them all. I wish I had another Yount but it is what it is. There is a video out there of a similar box that was opened and it seems the cards were pretty O/C.
I did just buy this for the RIP stash. 1975 Topps Baseball Full Series Vending Box.

You will get some PSA 10s from those 1975 Topps cards. Really nice quality for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I would think the same but appears PSA has blood feud with Uff
Uff did get a the proper bump on his other Jim Brown. Then again we all feel like his pack pulled Jim Brown beauty should have graded higher.
Uff, the Unitas is a beauty. I would rather have a crisp example like yours that isn't dead centered. I think we have overvalued centering and forgotten about the corners to much in grading.
If you had identically valued Brown and Unitas rookies which would you keep if you could only keep one?

Count me among the few that values corners and edges that scream "pack fresh" as being as important if not more so, than perfect centering. When I opened packs as a kid I could give a rats ass about centering.

I would take an equal valued Brown Rookie over a Unitas Rookie. To me the Brown Rookie is the most iconic Football card. That's just my opinion.
That sucks, would that have been the most valuable?
I agree about the Brown rookie when it comes to Football. The 35 Bronco has to be a really close second. I am a sucker for the hand drawn, colorful cards.
I remember a long time ago when the 55 Topps Four Horseman card was a huge card. It seems to have fallen off some. I really like the 55 Thorpe!

Are recent grading standards discouraging you to open vintage and slowed down your release of “imprisoned “ cards??
Hey Monte - I would say the current grading standards are disappointing but have also been very busy improving family land I purchased. It has been in my family roots since 1945 and now my wife and I own it. Been cleaning up trees, limbs, brush, trails, de-junking, shed and concrete improvements and the laundry list goes on. I've put over 350 hours in my track skidsteer alone out there since snow left. Still more work to do but gaining. We are putting a large addition and two car garage onto the cabin over this Winter. It will completely change the outside with new roof lines, siding, windows etc. but the appeal of the logs/beams will remain inside for the kitchen and living room area.
It's been a large undertaking but keeping me busy and not ripping things too fast!!!
The area below the cabin/new home location has been tore up all Spring and Summer and it is now finally seeded with grass coming back.

Probably a dumb question but can you stock Northern Pike in ponds that size.
The cabin was built by my family in 1974. I personally would not put Northerns in a pond of this size. Traditionally we have had Brook Trout in the first pond, Brown and Rainbow Trout in the 2nd Pond and Bluegills in the 3rd Pond.

Here's a 4 back this week. I really like the Civil War Cards.
Some more various grades to share then I need to do some more ripping and get cards in the grading queue. Been pretty busy this summer with outdoor work on the acres but starting to feel like opening some more.
Looks like Charlton Heston as Moses.

Let me know when you bust a case of 1952 Topps High Numbers.
I doubt even a carton exists...what's the oldest full carton they ever found? I mean IIRC an empty case of 1952 Topps that looked kinda beat up went for $50K!

First off how do they even know which series it is (unless you can somehow see the front and/or back card)? Second wouldn't that be enough to get the whole set or pretty close In say, PSA twosies or threesies?

Card in hand. Incredible to hold and look at.....
Awesome looking in the holder.
I shared this one a while back from a Cello Pack. Now graded. Sharp corners...
These cards get your adrenaline going when you first see them rise from a pack!!
Those are some good looking 6s.

Knock on Wood, I think I'm done trying to pull a centered rookie of Captain America.
I think this is the 3rd one now that I have pulled.
Beautiful card though

Just got caught up with the thread from this past February. These cards are truly blazers. What are your plans for all the wrappers?
I've been keeping most of them within reason. I'm just kinda stock piling them for now.

Love the Richard Martin 1976 Glossy. How does the back look? Those glossy cards are notorious for having chips.

Beautiful Marinos. In the past, I'd say the right one has a shot at a 10 if those aren't print spots. In today's grading...
