Wow, I like these '86s. I never really looked at these before in detail. Nice cards. I didn't get much in the pack aside from the Courtnall rookie. Couple of nicely centered commons, but lots of the cards had this little bubble on the surface of the card. Strange.
....rest of the pack goes like this....
Rick Vaive - Mapleleafs Patrick Flatley - Islanders Mike O'Connell - Red Wings John Anderson - Whalers Ray Neufeld - Jets Pittsburgh Sticker #53 Dave Babych - Whalers Mark Napier - Oilers Jim Peplinski - Flames Perry Turnbull - Jets Brian Mullen - Jets Brian Engblom - Sabres

Nice cards Arny. Did some early ripping myself. I really like the card design too. Sharp photos. Nice color schemes. So far I've had three Doug Gilmours' out of four packs. Strange but true.
Got mostly commons again with a few stars (Dionne, Gilmour, Hawerchuck). Had to show the sharp looking Devil's and Canucks uniforms. Looking forward to the 'big '85 year' rip next week!
Looks like we got some nicely centered cards. Seems Topps was on top of their game in '86. Gum in wrappers, few oc's and hardly a miscut.
1986 Topps pack 1:
Decent stars with great condition throughout the pack. OPC like rough cut on top edge of Messier!?!
66 Mike Ridley - Rangers 144 Randy Carlisle - Jets 67 John Tucker - Sabres 186 Mark Messier - Oilers 127 Mike Foligno - Sabres 20 Peter Stastny - Nordiques 40 Brian Engblom - Sabres 38 Brian Mullen - Jets Sticker #25 Hartford Whalers Logo 193 Mike Krushelnyski - Oilers 161 Mats Naslund - Canadiens 47 Clint Malarchuk - Nordiques 159 Bernie Nicholls - Kings 160 Ray Ferraro - Whalers 188 Bobby Smith - Canadiens 133 Mike Liut - Whalers
1986 Topps Pack 2:
Not much star power but great condition throughout. Love the planet Al and the Pederson. The Pederson card brings a smile to my face because it signifies the arrival of Cam Neely to the B's!
8 Lanny McDonald - Flames 162 Patrick Flatley - Islanders 87 John Ogrodnick - Red Wings 156 Patrik Sundstrom - Canucks 166 Carey Wilson - Flames 142 Phil Russell - Sabres 24 Doug Bodger - Penguins Sticker #16 Penguins Logo 58 Dana Murzyn - Whalers 175 Brad Marsh - Flyers 34 Barry Pederson - Canucks 26 Al Iafrate - Maple Leafs 109 Ron Sutter - Flyers 181 Brent Ashton - Nordiques 167 Murray Craven - Flyers 172 Keith Acton - North Stars
My pack had about 1/2 the cards with corner dings including the Vanbiesbrouck RC.

Anyone else absolutely FALLING IN LOVE with hockey cards?
I simply didn't really collect them as a kid (and was collecting 80's baseball and football instead) and going back now has been an absolute delight....
This bust has been so much fun ...

Scored another Ciccarelli and the condition of the cards overall was stellar. Overall happy, though thus far I have let to really land much in the star department. Can't wait for the '85's next week!!!!!!

The cards in my pack all had sharp corners and solid centering. No big name rookies but a host of Hall of Famers. Too bad Barry Pederson was not Patrick Roy as it looks like Pederson has come out of a few packs. Has anybody pulled a Roy?
Mario Lemieux all-star sticker Rich Preston Doug Shedden John Anderson Pat Lafontaine HOF Peter Zezel Denis Potvin HOF Mike Liut Grant Fuhr HOF Rich Sutter Marcel Dionne HOF Risto Siltanen Al Jensen (local Hamilton product who used to party at my parent's house in the 1970's with my sisters) Dana Murzyn Brad Marsh Barry Pederson
Overall the two packs were great. The cards were mostly centered. I was very happy with them.
Now, for the reason why I feel guilty. Here are the results from my 2 1986 packs:
I really like the design of the 1986 set. So far, I am going to work on the 1987 and 1986 sets. Depending on how the other rips go, I may also want to work on some of those sets.

I always enjoyed Hockey cards. During my first go at collecting (1978 - 1990) I enjoyed collecting the 1979-80 OPC set. I really liked the set. However, it took me three tries before I got a real Gretzky. The first two were fakes. I had to sold the set with the rest of my collection to pay for college. I started collecting again in 2000. I have been focusing on Baseball with a little Basketball mixed in for fun. However, I have been looking for a fun Hockey set to work on. This pack rip has been a fun opportunity to see what sets I want to work on. So far I like the 1986 and 1987 design the best with the 1986 being the nicer of the two. Unless I like one of the earlier designs better, I will work on the 1986 set.
ArnyVee: I do not feel that guilty.
Bob: Thanks. The '87 Lemieux is really nice. It is a strong PSA 9 with a chance at a 10. The '86 Roy cards are really nice. Using a 10x one is a high-end 8 or weak 9 (depends on the grader). The other is a strong 9 with a chance at a 10.
Blindflyer and Knuckles: Thanks. I was excited when I opened the first pack and stunned when I opened the second pack.
hey i pulled a gretzky! pretty sweet, little bottom left corner thingy. the rest of the 86's goes like this ray ferraro whalers bobby smith habs gary suter could be a 10 but has print blemish on yellow border brian maclellan rangers looks like a 10 bob sauve paul maclean larry playfair sounds like a mommas boy michel goulet don beaupre northstars...lots of green and yellow glenn anderson mel bridgeman..i met him once roberto romano 8 or 9ish doug lidster checklist # 1 looks like 9 or even a 10 bernie federko 8 or 9 john ogrodnick 8 or 9 joe mullen lanny mcdonald 9 mike k oiilers 8 james patrick 9 or 10 clint malarchuk 9 or 10 keth crowder 9 reed larson doug gilmour bob bourne ray bourque oc brad mccrimmon dirk diggler, i mean , graham mike gartner oc funny mustache great quality, many oc's and some legit 9's
OPC might not be worth it .... for one thing, there's more cards per set so there's less of a chance per pack for a big pull. At the extra cost per participant, not sure if we'd get enough bang for our buck on it.
that said, Topps or OPC, I'm definitely in for another.

I opened my two packs. The centereing and corners were tough on this one. The good news is I pulled 2 of the big 3. The bad news is the centering. Between the 1986 and 1985, I think I have used up my good karma. Here are the scans of the best cards.
I think you should make an appointment with a proctologist to get that horseshoe removed!
The Lemieux should still pull a nice piece of change if you sell it raw. It is pack fresh after all! Tough break on the centering, especially on the Gretzky.
I feel better about the packs now seeing your results.
Remember guys ... I'm putting this '85 set together ... anything you guys are up for trading/etc. that would grade PSA 9 (or even 8) I'd be interested in.
My results coming shortly.
wow, packman, wow.

My '85-86 pack can't even hold a candle to packman's ... it's almost embarrassing following it ..... but hey, at least I got two gradeable cards out of it. Overall the pack had some pretty heavy gum damage and a lot of centering problems....
Here are the full results: - Scott Stevens, Caps [psa worthy] - Doug Wilson, Blackhawks [psa worthy] - Tomas Sandstrom, Rangers - RC - Brent Sutter, Isles - Mark Johnson, Blues - Brian Engblom, Kings - Dwight Foster, Wings - Mark Howe, Flyers - John Tonelli, Isles - Mark Fusco, Whale [obliterated by gum]
I still love this set. The design is great and a great selection of stars.
Good luck to the rest of the rippers --- hopefully I got the only bad pack in the bunch!

Just commons here, does it seem that the stock on this year is thinner than the other years we've opened?
The rest: P. Flatley, Islanders G. Hanlon, Rangers P. Russell, Devils-nice card, a little oc t/b D. Beaupre-Northstars M. Bridgeman, Devils W. Babych, Pens A. Haworth, Caps J. Tonelli, Islanders, bad factory ding left side Middleton, B's wax stain Nordiques logo sticker
Wow. Great looking cards. My Lemieux and Gretzky were also next to each other. Those are great pulls. How was the centering of the other cards. I found that the centering of the 85's in general was very poor compared to the 86-89 packs.
Six cards were way OC to the left. The three HOF'ers in my scan are slightly OC to the top, and the Naslund, Savard and Resch were pretty near perfect.
113 Tom Fergus - Bruins (Gum stain) 67 Mike Bullard - Penguins 18 Mario Gosselin - Nordiques 156 Tony McKegney - North Stars 121 Craig Redmond - Kings 118 Greg Malone - Whalers (MC) Sticker #10 Rod Langway - Capitals AS 40 Ray Bourque - Bruins 6 Ron Sutter - Flyers 109 Dale Hawerchuk - Jets 75 Pete Peeters - Bruins (Awesome pic) 81 Clark Gillies - Islanders 84 Kirk Muller - Devils
1985 Topps pack #2: (Islanders pack)
149 Glen Hanlon - Rangers (Gum stain) 92 Ivan Boldirev - Red Wings 119 Bill Hajt - Sabres 122 Kelly Hrudey - Islanders 97 Bob Bourne - Islanders 17 Mike Foligno - Sabres Sticker #21 Black Hawks logo 137 Pat LaFontaine - Islanders 128 Dave Poulin - Flyers 144 Ed Beers - Flames 140 Ron Francis - Whalers 100 Darryl Sutter - Black Hawks 21 Dave Pichette - Devils
Mario Lemieux Wayne Gretzky Wayne Babich Alan Haworth Don Beaupre Mel Bridgman Stan Smyl Steve Larmer Gil Perreault Dennis Savard Glenn Resch Mats Naslund
Most cards have some centering issues, Mario is probably 55 45 lr and 65 35 tb. Gretzky is better tb but worse lr.
Savard and Resch cards are both centered nicely both lr and tb.
Nothing of note for my '85s....but, this set seems like it would be great fun to build. Tom, if you want my '85s let me know. There are probably only a couple that would grade as a "9" from the pack though.
...the rest goes like this...
Tom Barrasso Mark Johnson Tim Bothwell Don Maloney Greg Malone Craig Redmond Tony McKegney (totally warped from the gum) Pelle Lindbergh A.S. Sticker Rick Vaive Dave Babych Mike Liut

the card design too. Sharp photos. Nice color schemes. So far
I've had three Doug Gilmours' out of four packs. Strange but true.
Got mostly commons again with a few stars (Dionne, Gilmour, Hawerchuck). Had to show the sharp looking Devil's and Canucks uniforms. Looking forward to the 'big '85 year' rip next week!

Here are the best of my 1987 cards.
Overall the two packs were great. The cards were mostly centered. I was very happy with them.
Now, for the reason why I feel guilty. Here are the results from my 2 1986 packs:
I really like the design of the 1986 set. So far, I am going to work on the 1987 and 1986 sets. Depending on how the other rips go, I may also want to work on some of those sets.

Then I scroll down and see the two "Kings"!
Unbelievable. Don't feel guilty someone has to get them.
Congrats and thanks for sharing, Bob C.
Edit: Without going over the Roy's with a 10x loupe they look like at least a pair of 9s from here. I hope you get two 10s if you send them in!

OPC might not be worth it .... for one thing, there's more cards per set so there's less of a chance per pack for a big pull. At the extra cost per participant, not sure if we'd get enough bang for our buck on it.
that said, Topps or OPC, I'm definitely in for another.

1st price is PSA 9, 2nd price is (PSA 10).
Cards with an * were not in SMR but are worthy of mentioning.
The price for these cards is Beckett high.
Note: Beckett Hi seems to be half price of SMR on PSA 9.

I was up for the 85's till I scanned this pack...anyone else not too thrilled with the looks of theirs? Maybe I just got a couple ugly wraps???
Best of luck to all rippers tomorrow. May you all pull a Lemieux, Gretzky AND Yzerman.

I think you should make an appointment with a proctologist to get that horseshoe removed!
The Lemieux should still pull a nice piece of change if you sell it raw. It is pack fresh after all! Tough break on the centering, especially on the Gretzky.
I feel better about the packs now seeing your results.

WOW!!!!
Your luck is unbelievable.
Remember guys ... I'm putting this '85 set together ... anything you guys are up for trading/etc. that would grade PSA 9 (or even 8) I'd be interested in.
My results coming shortly.
wow, packman, wow.

My '85-86 pack can't even hold a candle to packman's ... it's almost embarrassing following it ..... but hey, at least I got two gradeable cards out of it. Overall the pack had some pretty heavy gum damage and a lot of centering problems....
Here are the full results:
- Scott Stevens, Caps [psa worthy]
- Doug Wilson, Blackhawks [psa worthy]
- Tomas Sandstrom, Rangers - RC
- Brent Sutter, Isles
- Mark Johnson, Blues
- Brian Engblom, Kings
- Dwight Foster, Wings
- Mark Howe, Flyers
- John Tonelli, Isles
- Mark Fusco, Whale [obliterated by gum]
I still love this set. The design is great and a great selection of stars.
Good luck to the rest of the rippers --- hopefully I got the only bad pack in the bunch!

Most cards have some centering issues, Mario is probably 55 45 lr and 65 35 tb.
Gretzky is better tb but worse lr.
Savard and Resch cards are both centered nicely both lr and tb.
