i've had this pack stashed for a year or two.. i just got the itch to open a cheap GAI pack.. i guess i'm bored.. my choices are between a 1980 topps baseball GAI 8, 1982 topps baseball GAI 7.5, or a 1984 topps football GAI 9..

i'm going with the 1980 baseball..

edited to add - this is the first GAI pack ive ever opened..

    << <i>open the others now! >>



    i might have to.. sucks not getting chit in the 1980 pack..

    since all the packs can be easily replaced, maybe i'll open another one later..

    which one should i do? 1984 topps football (marino, elway rookies) or 1982 topps baseball (ripken?)

    Damn, and I need only a PSA10 Al Hrabosky to complete my "1980 Pitchers with Big Mustaches Who Talk to Themselves On the Mound" Registry Set. image

    Open the 84 FB.

    Good luck.

    a smarter person would sell the GAI packs and buy ungraded packs to open for even cheaper..

    Hell yeah, If I had any unopened packs or packages I'd open them all. Well I did get 3 packages in the mail today...Here's my "pulls"

    #1
    1989 Score Deion Sanders Rc
    1980 Topps Kellen Winslow Rc
    1983 Topps Gary Anderson Rc
    1983 Topps Mike Singletary Rc
    1984 Topps Howie Long Rc
    1984 Topps Roger Craig Rc
    All of these are beautiful, I think I got the lot for around 3-4 delivered. The only visible thing wrong in the Long Rc is 35/65 L/r but all the rest look like 9's. All are centered with sharp edges and corners. Seller also threw in a 04 Press Pass Eli Manning Rc(Which looked worse than all the others btw).

    #2
    2005 Topps Pristine Rashad McCants Rc #ed/50
    2005 Leaf Rookies and Stars Crusade Ray Lewis gu'd jersey #ed/250
    2005 UD Ultimate Collection Game Jersey Marshall Faulk #ed/99
    Eh, these were Ok. The McCants was perfect, the others I bought simply because I had to pay shipping anyway, why not an extra 2 bucks for these.

    #3
    1997 Finest Tim Thomas PSA 10
    1989 Score Chris Carter PSA 8

    Not a bad mailday at all. Really glad those 80's rookies came THAT nice. I mean, these are clean.

    pa, those 84s are hit/miss. i purchased 2 wax boxes from a seller a few months back (one box had great centering, the other was mostly all OC)...

    thanks for sharing your bust...haha

    You may as well go ahead and bust the 1982 Topps baseball wax pack since you already busted the other two!
