The EAGLE HAS LANDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kadokakid · October 16, 2006 3:12AM

The eagle has also landed here as well.

Thanks Bob, can't wait to rip them.

Peace

Here too !

Excellent packaging & excellent work throughout the process Bob.

Thanks,
Dave

ArnyVee · October 16, 2006 3:34AM

The mailman has not arrived for us here in Sunny South Florida just yet....but, I'm hoping to confirm that the "eagle has landed" as well!

What's the "rip schedule" again?

blindflyer · October 16, 2006 6:03AM

Cards arrived safely and very well-packed here in sunny west Los Angeles.

I'm staring at all of the packs right now and not sure if I'm going to be able to stand this.

Thanks again, Bob!

-Tom

PS I rec'd 4 OPC packs --- 3 of which are from the same year. Is this some sort of mistake? If this was somehow intentional than THANK YOU!. If not, then let me know who to send them to or what to do with the extra two packs.

blade35 · October 16, 2006 7:26AM

Got mine. Am I allowed to open any during the NYR game tonight?

Thanks Bob.

I received my packs today. Thank you for organizing this pack rip. In addition, thank you (and your son) for your time in sending them to us.

TFF Arny!

Well I'm impressed! Seems the USPS is on the ball!

8 rippers have notified me that "La Aguila A Llegado!"

I'll update the first post as I hear from everyone and hopefully we'll be rippin by the weekend.

Sunday good for everyone? That is if everyone has their packs by then.

Thanks, Bob C.

blade35 · October 16, 2006 9:24AM

My name is AJ and I'm a weak man. I had 3 stacks on my desk and during the 1st period they kept saying open us. I now have 2 stacks on my desk. I'll do my best to wait. Will the voices ever stop?

I won't say who I've got so far, I'll wait for the official rip.

However, a word of caution. The OPC's have gum stuck to the card, be very careful in trying to remove the gum. When you try to pull the gum off it creates a crease/ripple on the front of the card and it could rip off some of the back.

Time to put the packs back in the box, they don't shut up.

"SIR! PUT THE PACKS DOWN AND BACK AWAY FROM THE DESK!"

Be strong man, be strong! You can do it! Resist!

rbdjr1 · October 17, 2006 5:53AM

Palm Beach, FL

My packs, have landed!!!!!!!!

Packs bubble-wrapped, then insulated, then double boxed, then shipped via USPS Priorty Mail. Good stuff!

Thank you Bob C., for this quality effort.

Now, "let's get ready to rumble"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

80sJunkie · October 17, 2006 6:09AM

just got mine when do we start

rbdjr1 · October 17, 2006 7:19AM

Opps, so excited, I double posted!

rd

ArnyVee · October 17, 2006 7:40AM

Let's RIP! When? When Bob, please let us start soon!

Onlypsahockey · October 17, 2006 8:07AM

LMAO!

You guys are the best.

I wish we could start tonight but only 50% have reported receiving their packs.

So....Maybe we can put the packs back in the box and show how much will power we all have???? Or maybe some of you can give them to the wife to hide for a couple days! Not that I did that or anything. Just saying!

Thanks, Bob C.

milbroco · October 17, 2006 8:52AM

ARGH.......MY WIFE WROTE RETURN TO SENDER ON THE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only kidding, my packs were received perfectly packaged. Now lets get the rip started.............
Bob

blindflyer · October 17, 2006 8:57AM

Should we plan on a Sunday rip barring any setbacks?

Everyone should have packs by then.

-t

Onlypsahockey · October 17, 2006 9:07AM

Tom

Sorry I didn't reply to your earlier post. The extra opc packs were not a mistake.

As for ripping Sunday I think we can if all have their packs. It's only fair. I'd feel a little slighted if I was waiting on my packs and the rip started without me.

We can start any night we get 100% received and then jump to Sundays if need be.

Let's see how the USPS does. Like you said, all may have their packs by Sunday.

Thanks, Bob C.

milbroco · October 17, 2006 9:38AM

Is it cheating if I can read one of the cards through the 1983 warpper?

Lil bit! But if it keeps you from opening them early...peak away!

BTW, What's an 83 warpper?

kadokakid · October 19, 2006 2:31AM

I noticed not a lot of Hockey cards graded, for instance 85 topps, 2600 graded or something like that of which 1850 ish are Lemieux rookie card. Is there any demand at all for this stuff graded. Just curious, I don't plan on trying to grade mine and resell.

Thanks in advance

Peace

taka · October 19, 2006 2:54AM

Several years ago I sold a couple of PSA 9 Lemieux RCs for $400 each. I don't think I could sell for those prices today.

eyebone · October 19, 2006 6:13AM

My packs arrived today. Awaiting further instruction.

Pops gets his PO box on Saturdays and I'm sure Albie will let us know when his packs arrive. I have a good feeling we'll be ripping THIS Sunday!

Everyone good for Sunday? 1989 Topps.
