I apologize for the delay, but here are my results from 1987, 1986, and 1985. I have recently moved, and I'm still settling in. I'll try to post some pictures of the highlights when I have a chance.
1987: Nearly all cards were well centered. Several had corner dings, though. There were a few bigger names -- Jim Plunkett, Art Monk, Roger Craig, Wes Chandler, Tony Dorsett. A cowboy fan might be happy with these... 265 Timmy Newsome, cowboys 122 Don Griffin, 49ers 73 Russ Grimm, Redskins 171 Deron Cherry, Chiefs 395 Checklist #2 270 Bill Bates, cowboys 134 Pat Leahy, Jets 184 Bengals team 267 Mike Sherrard, cowboys 195 Ross Browner, Bengals 19 1000 Yard Club Art Monk, Redskins 214 Jim Plunkett, Raiders 113 Roger Craig, 49ers 110 Raymond Clayborn, Patriots 263 Tony Dorsett, cowboys 342 Wes Chandler, Chargers
1986: There were some centering issues here. Several cards were OC slightly on the front, and most backs were quite OC. Look at all the Jets! The biggest highlight is the Reggie White RC. It is well centered, one corner has a slight touch. 5 Freeman McNeil 1000 Yard Club, Jets 65 Chris Bahr, Raiders 99 Wesley Walker, Jets 102 Mickey Shuler, Jets 110 Dave Jennings, Jets 133 Randy White, cowboys 134 Jim Jeffcoat, cowboys 138 Phil Simms, Giants 155 49ers Team 189 Earnest Byner, Browns 250 Curtis Green, Lions 260 Eddie Brown, Bengals 266 Robert Jackson, Bengals 274 Paul McFadden, Eagles 275 Reggie White, Eagles 277 Herman Edwards, Eagles 304 Bill Kenney, Chiefs 363 William Andrews, Falcons
1985: This is the best pull for me so far, because it was nice to see a Joe Montana card. It has the slightest edge wear. It is well centered, but also has some small ding in the front border and a print line or something on the edge. Other notables are the Marcus Allen sticker, and Charlie Brown.

I have no idea, but I do remember buying some interesting "boxes" of Topps football cards in the early/mid 80s. IIRC, they were hanging boxes and were fairly tall, like two card tall. I think the boxes had special 1000 yard card (or stickers). I could only find them in one store in Wisconsin, so we stopped there whenever we went to visit my grandparents. Do these ring a bell with anyone? When I was a kid, it seemed like the only way to get the special cards was in these strange boxes of cards. I'd say they were roughly equal to a rack pack, but in a box.
Nice kick off to the '84s as I pulled a Largent, an Elway and what looks to be a perfect Darrel Green! Take a peek....

So nobody got a Rice RC? I get the feeling that a lot of people couldn't hold out and cracked their packs soon after obtaining them. Maybe interest has dwindled in the time since but I would think that if someone pulled a Rice RC they'd show up to post a scan.
Hopefully someone yanks a Marino RC and a Montana RC. I think I'm enjoying this thread more than some that are actually involved.
I wish that everyone had the same enthusiasm as some of us about these pack breaks. The whole point was to post the results and root each other on to get the best cards from the packs. But, looks like there is a large percentage of the folks that aren't even participating at all. If they'd like to, they can send the packs to me and I'll rip and post the results with scans for them

I agree with the sentiments above. I wish more guys were sharing on the boards. But, 12 or so posting their pulls is fine by me. This rip has been great. I can't wait for the hockey rip to start. If anyone wants in see the thread on this board "80's HOCKEY wax rip.

I got a mix of a couple previously posted packs. How cool is it to pull an Elway rookie from a pack of cards! O/C though it may be.
In addition to the scan, I also pulled:
42 - Pete Johnson - Bengals 112 - Rod Martin - Raiders 133 - Tony Collins - Patriots 155 - Darrol Ray - Jets 189 - Steve August - Seahawks 198 - Curt Warner - Seahawks 200 - Jeff West - Seahawks 251 - Jeff Chadwick - Lions 326 - Harold Carmichael - Eagles 342 - Roy Green - Cardinals
As you can see, my Darrell Green also has that big blob in the background.
I too wish more guys were scanning and even sharing.
I have a confession to make. I ripped all the packs the day I got them.
But at least I kept them neatly stacked by year, with the stars in CS1s and have been contributing to the posts, right? I'm not all bad? Someone? Anyone?
Oh well,
My 84 pack was awesome! Check out these 2:
The rest of the pack is:

The cards were really nice for the most part, but no big names...
Although, for some reason, I think back and remember I was excited to pull a William Andrews back then.....not sure why
Also, I remember when Mark Moseley broke the record for consecutive field goals -- was that in 1983?
The '84 pack rip continues! I hated to see my Elway rook already taken. (The only one I own so far I've shared before: Franco Harris frontElway back.)
Here are some of my favorite pulls and better-centered cards:
The whole pack consisted of:
245 Ron Springs (Cowboys RB) 60 Mike Pruitt (Borwns RB) 296 Benny Ricardo (Vikings K) 327 Herman Edwards (Eagles CB) 151 Pat Leahy (Jets K; gum back) 3 1983 Record Breaker - Eric Dickerson (Rams RB) 12 Curtis Dickey (Colts RB) 242 Ed "Too Tall" Jones (Cowboys DE) 29 Booker Moore (Bills RB) 301 Russell Erxleben (Saints P) 352 Dwight Clark IR (49ers WR) 234 Bob Thomas (Bears K) 47 Cleveland Browns Team Leaders (Mike Pruitt) 79 Doug France (Oilers T) 214 Ralph Giacomarro (Falcons P; no wax stain to speak of -- I rubbed off the waxy film)

zef! How could you?!! We all feel so betrayed...
I'll bet you're not the only one that opened any or all early. I'm one to savor the flavor over a longer period of time...
Wow, I hadn't noticed that "cherry kool-aid blob" in the background of the Darrel Green rookie. But, I see that the other ones have it also, so I don't have a special 1 of 1, I guess.
We're pulling some nice packs out of this '84 box! Ken, nice pulls on the identical pack...although, you one-upped me by getting the Slater
Zef, the Dickerson and Long combo...nice!

I, too, have to confess that this past Saturday, after opening my '82 baseball pack, and after perhaps one too many beers, I opened all I had left in both the baseball and football rips. I just couldn't stop. It was like hooking up with a girl you know you shouldn't. The next morning I felt too ashamed to post anything; ditto on Wednesday for football... But I'm over it, now, and I hope y'all will forgive my unfaithfulness.
There wasn't much to speak of or scan of in my '84 pack. Here's the best it had to offer:
I, too, will fess up. I've opened my packs. All of them. It took me about three weeks, but I couldn't do it anymore. I'm ashamed.
My packs sucked, and I lost interest. I apologize.
I'm here now to catch up and beg for forgiveness.

In all reality, I had a blast with these, as I'd never opened any of these packs "at the time" and I'd be in again in a second. Just initially disappointed with the results.
Boy, it seems like I was the only one that hasn't busted open all of my packs.
You buncha' pack busters! Oh well, no one can blame you. But, you must've upset the pack rippin' gods and ended up with less than stellar cards. So, no one pulled the Jerry Rice rookie? So far no Marino rookies?
By the way, if anyone wants to send me their '85 commons or otherwise that you think have a shot at a PSA 9, I would gladly accept them

Arny, I am still a non opener survivor also....I still have the 80-83 packs sitting on my desk undisturbed.......to be honest it hasn't really bothered me that much since I've been so busy at work and at home.........I'll continue to open them one a week as was planned and hopefully have some better luck with what is left.
First time that I've ripped '83 Topps Football. Not too bad as far as player selection in my pack with the 2nd year Ronnie Lott & others, but all the cards were warped in my pack. The gum really damaged the card that it was on in the back. Glad it was only a common. Here's the scan and pack info.....

<< <i>Guys ... seriously ... am I seeing things or is there a huge gum stain on ArnyVee's Darrell Green? >>
It's not a stain, it's just part of the picture. Do a search for Darrell Greens on Ebay. They've all got it.

I have a confession to make. I ripped all the packs the day I got them.
But at least I kept them neatly stacked by year, with the stars in CS1s and have been contributing to the posts, right? I'm not all bad? Someone? Anyone?
Oh well,
My 84 pack was awesome! Check out these 2:
The rest of the pack is:
66 Rick Karlis - Broncos
16 Vernon "Grody to the" Maxwell Colts rc (Didn't he also play in the NBA for the Houston Rockets?)

The cards were really nice for the most part, but no big names...
Although, for some reason, I think back and remember I was excited to pull a William Andrews back then.....not sure why
Also, I remember when Mark Moseley broke the record for consecutive field goals -- was that in 1983?

Here are some of my favorite pulls and better-centered cards:
The whole pack consisted of:
245 Ron Springs (Cowboys RB)

zef! How could you?!! We all feel so betrayed...
I'll bet you're not the only one that opened any or all early. I'm one to savor the flavor over a longer period of time...
Thanks for 'fessing up, ya wax junkie!
We're pulling some nice packs out of this '84 box! Ken, nice pulls on the identical pack...although, you one-upped me by getting the Slater
Zef, the Dickerson and Long combo...nice!

Mind telling us if there's a particular year you can't wait until we get to so you can post?
Just kidding, I don't want to know early.
Yes I do.
No. No, I don't.
Well, maybe ...
No. Keep it to yourself.
Okay, just tell me this. Have you gotten anyone whose last name would rhyme with Dontana?

I, too, have to confess that this past Saturday, after opening my '82 baseball pack, and after perhaps one too many beers, I opened all I had left in both the baseball and football rips. I just couldn't stop. It was like hooking up with a girl you know you shouldn't. The next morning I felt too ashamed to post anything; ditto on Wednesday for football... But I'm over it, now, and I hope y'all will forgive my unfaithfulness.
There wasn't much to speak of or scan of in my '84 pack. Here's the best it had to offer:
I, too, will fess up. I've opened my packs. All of them. It took me about three weeks, but I couldn't do it anymore. I'm ashamed.
My packs sucked, and I lost interest. I apologize.
I'm here now to catch up and beg for forgiveness.

In all reality, I had a blast with these, as I'd never opened any of these packs "at the time" and I'd be in again in a second. Just initially disappointed with the results.
Again my apologies.

You buncha' pack busters! Oh well, no one can blame you. But, you must've upset the pack rippin' gods and ended up with less than stellar cards. So, no one pulled the Jerry Rice rookie? So far no Marino rookies?
By the way, if anyone wants to send me their '85 commons or otherwise that you think have a shot at a PSA 9, I would gladly accept them
