'77 Pack Busting

Not normally a pack buster, but the discussion on this board weakened me.
It's late..Friday night..just got the mail the wife forgot to get to. Inside this cold, cold box are 6 '77 packs. 3 Topps & 3 OPC purchased in EBay auction.
Skepticism as the first pack seal is broken. Cards appear tight together, however. Pack yields maybe one gradeable common
2nd Topps pack..maybe 2 more including a Brewers team card...a few more nice cards but centering issues until I get to the next to last card and unveil ...a Dawson Rookie! Nice! Looks 8-9 ish. Packs definitely clean.
3rd pack yields a mint but 80-20 Rod Carew & some o/c or lightly touched commons
OPC packs..yikes, the usual all over the place OPC centering and all commons. Ugh. The Dawson makes it $51 worthwhile but vintage packs, while fun, are still a major gamble! Open only if you've got the bankroll to take the hit!
If anyone needs some pretty nice '77 OPC commons, let me know. I have these & a few more.
