81 Donruss

That's awesome! Donruss must have been unable to produce their own boxes (production cost must have been too high) so they used fleer's. The incredible thing is the seller has a high feedback.

Definitely the funniest thing I've seen all day.

I would believe almost anything about '81 Donruss though, the printing quality was horribly bad.

The seller actually offers a fair amount of unopened material on a regular basis...certainly of late. I posted a thread about 81 Donruss a couple of weeks ago asking what other means it could be obtained outside of wax...my understanding is there is none, but a set I purchased recently is making me wonder if "presentation"-type sets were available prior to the sets inaugural release...but, no, vending wasn't happenin' in 81 for Donruss. That image is pretty humerous...

I've purchased unopened boxes/cases from this seller MANY times...Always top notch !!!

(I wonder what he was thinking ???.....)

If you thought the 81 Donruss was funny, this one will knock you out of your chair!

The only thing that could have been any funnier would have been if he would have laid the cards face up in the picture and then said "Unsearched".

Great post!

This just proves how many stupid and un-informed collectors are out there.

Maybe I can offer the winning bidder a bridge that I have for sale in Brooklyn, I am surte that it would come back as a psa 8 or maybe even a PRO-10 if I am lucky.

Another stellar item up for consideration on ebay, I guess PT Barnum was right. Do you think that the seller left any of the Boggs or Gwynn cards?

I am thinking about listing a box of 75 topps cello packs that I have sitting in my closet.

Maybe I should open the packs, pull out all of the star cards and re-list the box as "75 topps unopened cello box picked clean but all packs will be nicely re-sealed with scotch tape" and see what happens.

Last year when I was cracking 90 fleer cases. This was the guy that
sold me 2. Well after cracking the two case only to find 30 sosa not
one of which was worthy of a 10...Now I usually pulled anywhere from
3-7 tens per case. Me still having kid like senses just ripped the cases
open.

After further inspection both cases ther factory seal had been cut with
a razor then a piece of clear tape had been applied on top. I mean this
guy was a pro you could barely tell unless you grabbed the loupe.

Needless to say in my mind he's a crook.

Matt,
The crook is getting sloppy. By the way...what on earth are you doing breaking '90 fleer? This question, of course, coming from a guy who's building an '81 Donruss set......I just love chucking stones from my glass house...by the way "Jimmie is not a 'chucker' and George is getting upset"

You knocked me off my chair my typical fri has been induced with whiskey and lemon for
I have caught the worst cold of my life.

As for the 90 fleer cases though not a bean counter the #'s were pretty good for a while
or at least until them two cases for all the work only to skate with measly profit and a
whole bunch of fireboard to heat the cottage during the winter.

To think last winter I kept the heat bill down with 89 and 90 product and even a few 81's
yet I wish I wouldn't have done that. I should get the nobel prize commons as heat.

I can't believe somebody took the time to search 2 cases of 1990 Fleer for a bunch of $4 Sosa RC's and then reseal all the packs. He probably spent about 20 or 30 manhours to make a solid 100 bucks. People have way too much time to kill. A part time job at the gas station would have been a more profitable venture than that.
