Rip 'em and scan 'em!!!

bri2327

Bring em on !

rvc

rvc

you can see the vancouver canucks team card showing on the reverse.
how do i insert the pics within my post?

Bosox1976

You've got to post them on the web, then link to it with the button next to the underline text "U" button.

imagecave.com works great for me. You get 10 mb of free space. Sign up, upload your pics to the site, then copy the URL they provide for the pic into the button for photos as Bosox mentioned. Good luck !

since this card was showing on the bottom there's a nasty wax stain on it. sharp corners with pretty good centering. bright blue color although my camera sort of bleached the coloring.

rvc

the important gum shot. smaller half was stuck to reverse of top card but came off leaving no damage.

rvc

biggest star card in the pack although too oc to submit. looks like 9oc. sharp corners nice blue color.

rvc

this looks like a 10 . nice rough cut, sharp corners, great color.
i will try to solve the color problem on the next pack.

ArnyVee

I like the look of these cards...keep 'em comin' rvc!

rvc

a great card of john davidson with that crazy goalie mask. easy 7 maybe an 8. not much of a rough cut while others in the same pack had more of the rough cut.

glad to see you're watching arny

rvc

a young bob gainey . a little oc but otherwise very sharp. probably 9oc or 7.

bri2327

If you wanna sell the J.D. card LMK.

rvc

my guess on 1st pack results: 1- 10, 3 -9's, 5- 8's, 1 -7. one stained card, 3 very oc cards with one being lanny mcdonald. great corners for 26 yr old pack and the blue colored borders were much brighter than the pictures show.

before i move onto 2nd pack, should i post more scans / pack?

rvc

hey bri i need jd for my set, sorry. looks like an 8. maybe another one will show up as we progress.

Knuckles

Cool jd.. that mask was up for auction awhile ago on Classic Auctions. Good luck with the rest of the packs!

ArnyVee

Keep 'em comin'!

rvc

pack #2

rvc

once again the bottom card has the wax stain . gotta love those atlanta flames

rvc

i messed up the dimensions resizing, card is perfect , 9 maybe 10. you can see mikita and espo .

rvc

rvc

barber has a bad lower right corner. 2 cards from this pack had corner wear. robinson is perfect except oc.

rvc

hunter could be a 10.

rvc

rvc

those record breaker cards are so tough to find centered.

Bosox1976

Thanks for sharing...

yawie99

That must've been a lotta fun, Robert! That Hunter looks really nice.

rvc

stay tuned steve

Rob,

Great job on the rips. Thanks for sharing.

Too bad the Hunter wasn't "THE CARD"

Maybe next pack? Keep the scans coming if you keep ripping.

Thanks, Bob c.

Robert, please keep me in mind if you find any Bossy cards that will grade an 8 or better. I'm in need of all of the '79 OPC's for my Bossy Basic and Master sets.

Cheers,

Michael

rvc

well here goes with pack #3

rvc

here are some oc's from the pack. nice corners, sharp color

rvc

great goalie mask, little gum stuck to back

rvc

some real nice 9's or 10's

Bosox1976

Gotta love those Canucks uniforms!

renrutmd

It's like Christmas watching these great cards get opened. Keep a ripping Robert.

Onlypsahockey

Nice Robert!

5 well centered cards out of the pack. Not bad for opc's.

I agree on the 9-10 guesstimate, with the Seiling & Manno being the strongest.

Curious, are you recording the card #'s from each pack? Just something I like to do to see if there's a pattern.

Best of luck if you keep-a-rippin'. Bob C.

rvc

onto the next pack

rvc

bobby hull! looks like a 9

rvc

bernie has a bum left bottom corner, some type of chip

rvc

dave schultz , looks like a 10

rvc

some great shots from the past, messed up the resizing sorry

rvc

some 9's

rvc

possibly the 2nd psa 10 mike antonovich? i pulled the first last year and at that time it was only the 2nd 10 from the set.

Bosox1976

Nice Hammer and Bunny!

HoofHearted

rvc,

Those two goalie masks are unbelievable! Thanks for going to the trouble of sharing all the pics!

Onlypsahockey
