83 topps box break (fb) not bad at all!

Ahmanfan

for the price ($50) this is a very fun year. considering '84 will cost you a TON.

here are some of the cards I pulled:









was well worth the price IMHO. Also got a few other notables, such as Allen team leader card, Payton team leader card, a couple allen stickers, and a Bradshaw sticker.

if anyone wants teh cards, they are available. Also I have a question. Is that little T shaped mark on some of the cards a grade affecter? Like, for instance, on that Anderson? I noticed it on maybe 25 or 50 of the common cards. Not sure what the deal is with that little mark. I am not building a set, so commons are also.
thanks

That McMahon looks gorgeous! I have busted a ton of 83 and I always enjoy it. There are a lot of rookies and HOFers.

I could use the following cards if you have them:

#49-Ed "Too Tall" Jones
#160-Tootie Robbins
#324-Patriots Team Leaders
#328-Tony Collins

Please let me know.
Thanks,
James

p.s. nice pulls!

Ahmanfan

James,
I have Pats team leaders (mint), collins (nm/m) and too tall (centered a little high)

If you'd like to pay, say, $.50 shipping, I could get them headed your way! let me know.

How did you manage to get a box that hadn't been sitting in a hot warehouse forever? Seems like anytime I buy the wax boxes, I eat 3 or 4 cards in each pack due to gum indents and horrible stains.

Ahmanfan

the box was labelled on ebay as a 'case fresh' box. the seller now has another box up for auction, so I imagine it really is out of a case. the mcmahon is pretty nice, not 10 nice though. psa 8 or 9. if anyone wants it, let me know!

Hey Ahman, nice cards !

I am currently trying to build the 83 football and am fifth in the registry.

About that little print mark or cross hatch or whatever it is that you are referring to, I have seen them on hundreds of cards, I think it is some kind of mark topps used to line up the sheets when they printed or cut them although I could be wrong. I have a few nine's with the mark on them but have never seen a ten with one on it, not to say that one couldnt get through.

If you ever find the Ken Anderson record breaker card(card # 1) that you think would grade nine or ten let me know, that has been one tough card for me to find in that shape.

my anderson's were about psa 8 or 7. they are tough I guess.
