New to posting on these boards, but a long time reader.
I know 1986 is not a great year for cards, but I won 5 vending boxes off eBay a couple of weeks ago for about $5.50 +shipping.
I have busted 4 of these already. I will have to say that top quality cards are very few and far between with these. I would think after opening 4 boxes, I should be able to put together atleast 1 complete set. However, I have sorted #'1 - 200 and am already missing about 20 cards.
Off the top of my head I have pulled:
(1) #1 Pete Rose
(2) #100 Nolan Ryan
(5) #200 Mike Schmidt
(4) #329 Kirby Puckett
(3) #661 Roger Clemens
(3) #500 Rickey Henderson
(2) #510 Wade Boggs
(1) #700 Reggie Jackson
(5) #130 Alan Trammell
(ZERO) #730 Ozzie Smith
(ZERO) #340 Cal Ripken
(ZERO) #180 Don Mattingly
Most of these would probably grade a 7, but some might get an 8.
Are the vending boxes really this scattered? The way it is looking, when I get done sorting the first 4 boxes, I'll still be missing aboiut 75 or so cards from a complete set. I gues I'm going to bust the final vending box tonight. Hopefully, it will yield some of the holes that I have.

If any card graded less then an 8 I would be surprized.
