1978 Basketball pack break.

milbroco

I just got back from Disney World and the packs I bought from Kruk Cards were waiting for me at the Post Office. So far I only opened six of ten packs. I will open the other 4 when I want a break from the things that need to be done after you get back from vacation; cleaning, grocery shopping, etc.

Here are the results:

Pack 1 - David Thompson, Dave Cowens, Paul Westphal, and Earl Monroe.

Pack 2 - Bernard King Rookie (looks like an 8 or 9), and a Jack Sikma rookie

Pack 3 - Artis Gilmore, DR. J (another 8 or 9), and a Dennis Johnson rookie

Pack 4 - David Thompson

Pack 5 - Robert Parrish, Dave Bing

Pack 6 - George McGinnis, Spencer Haywood, Nate Archibold, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar! OFF CENTER! ARGHHHH!!!


Hopefully the last four will hold another Jabbar with better centering.

Are you doing the 78 bskt set, or just trying some of them out? I've always been interested in everything 78, but only have a raw 78 baseball set so far.

Editted: If you are doing the set or have broke a lot, is this typical? And nice break!

The great thing about 78 and 79 basketball packs are that they are relatively cheap and because of the small sets, there is a major star in almost every pack. Those years are my favorite basketball packs to open, because they aren't as difficult to find, so they don't take a lot of courage to open. It is always a lot of enjoyment, even though the cards themselves are not worth as much as some other years and there are not huge rookies. I still buy a few of those now and then, even though I've completed that set (which isn't that hard to do, of course).

Very nice Bob
I have considered buying a box from time to time but never did.

I actually like the 78-9 design!

Good luck on the Jabbar

Well I opened the last four packs:

Pack # 7 - Bernard King

Pack # 8 - Robert Parrish, Bob Lanier and Walter Davis rookie

Pack # 9 - Bob McAdoo, George McGinnis, and another Kareem Abdul Jabbar OFF CENTER AGAIN!

Pack #10 - Jack Sikma rookie, Bill Walton and Pete Maravich

I already have a set but I just like openeing packs and these are fairly inexpensive. No way can I afford to open some 1972 baseball or something like that which some of you can.

Well that was fun.
