1981 Topps Done For the Year

GATOR5

Guys,

Well after a year of cracking I'm finally to the point where I'm calling
it good for the year I have what I need in raw to get me to 90% or so.
Thanks to everyone who helped Frank, Phil (the encouragement to strive
as the guru), and everyone else who purchased cards from me or
let me purchase some of my cards back....

I find this set to be one of biggest challenges in the modern hobby. Finding
it in 9 isn't that tuff just trying to find a chipless, centered, with no
flares. Well that's a different story....

To be serious guys I'm getting out of the 81's due to the fact I just
noticed how ugly the uniforms are. Just kidding to think I had to finish
half the set to notice it...Hmmmm

My personal favorite is 78 pirates!!! Awesome uni's..

So if anyone is looking to knock me out I'm officially done.


Thanks, Matt

Matt,

Are you going to grade out the raw stuff to get to 90%? Also, are you planning on dumping the set, or holding it and picking it back up later? I must say, I'm somewhat !!

GATOR5...You are a true pioneer in '81's...You also picked a LARGE set to work on. I'm not sure that anyone would do as good of job as you.... Please re-consider...Your set is a fantastic achievment!!! ...

Guys,

I'm done submitting for the year waiting for a few more
folk to pick the set up then I'm swimming in 81's again.
I'll be passing on all my gem mint 8's on ebay this week
as a set great starter lot for cheap all clean cards. Along
with some choice unopened.

King Kellogg,

Thanks for the pick me up it's not over. I have what I need
to get me to 90%. Just lots of other stuff going at the moment,
I find the closets filling with stuff I should be moving...

Frazier,

Don't you worry little guy. Just taking a break....

Matt -

You still have that Schmidt Leaders 10 that I am drooling over. Let me know if you ever want to sell or trade!

Matt, how much wax have you busted? What kind of success have you had with your submissions? Im thinking of investing in a vending case.

Thanks!

Rock,

I've emailed.

Kendall,

Well my experience with vending is sad to say the least
my best luck has been with a certain run of wax and racks.
I've cracked oh just into my second 100 thousand probably.
I was using them for firewood last year at the cottage...So
my figures are not the best.

At the moment I'm sitting on some choice wax if interested.

Lmk, Matt

Matt,

Sit back, take a deep breath, and relax. Then "walk away" for a while and perhaps the juices will start flowing again.

Dom,

crackin a box just for enjoyment.....Keep up the good work
I know you've earned it....
