Bustin some wax - results

As I mentioned on another thread, I've been spending way too much time and $ on Ebay. It has been about a week thought since anything cam in the mail - until today! Here's what came: (all wax packs) 11 1989 Donruss BB, 10 1987 Topps BB, 1 1983 Donruss BB, 1 1983 Topps BB, 2 1979 OPC BB, 1 1979 Topps BB, 1 1978 Topps BB, 3 1978 Topps FB, and 2 1979 Topps FB..... and a partridge in a pear tree. image That's 32 wax packs - and more fun than you can imagine. image
The only downer was the 87 Topps. Every card from every pack had one really bad corner smashed in - boogers.

Here are the highlights: 79 OPC Ozzie, 83 Donruss Gwynn, 89 Donruss Bonds, 83 Topps Henderson AS, 79 OPC Jackson AS, and a 83 Topps Gaylord Perry (that I just like a lot).

  • The Reggie and the Perry look really good
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    Looking for Al Hrabosky and any OPC Dave Campbells (the ESPN guy)
  • Very nice! Reggie has a very slight tilt . . . 9 material, for sure.

    Kudos!

    The Oz aint bad either! So many are way OC - how do the corners look? The rough cut on the OPC is no problemo!

    thanx for sharing

  • Mike, the corners look pretty good on the Oz. I was pretty excited about the centering on it because I've seen several now that were way off. I just ordered a 10X loupe and will wait till that gets here before I submit any more cards. My old eyes just haven't been doing well lately.

    Are the OPC's as bad on centering as Topps were that year?
