I see what you're saying lostdart. I think I just figured that even with people getting caught up in all the rips we'd still fill this one pretty quick just because the cost was so relatively low for the amount of wax we get in return. Plus, with at least 3 packs from each year you really improve your odds of pulling one of the respective years' big cards. From '84 - '89 the addition of Donruss, Fleer and Upper Deck really improves the quality of the whole rip.
If I may be so bold and for all of our benefit, please explain how all this is going to work..............You will have all the boxes in your possession and will be doing the mailing yourself?? Do you have all the boxes in your possession at this time?? ...........or perhaps picking them up when you travel to BBCE for the 75 box break.
You sure you have enough S/H charges built into the price per person??
Please be assured that I have all the confidence in the world about this .....just being the devil's advocate and making sure all bases are covered.
Your efforts are appreciated...

Jami /lostdart I will pm everyone in the morning and start accepting payments. When i get all money collected I will put the order in for the boxes. If I get it collected before i go to steves wherehouse nextweek i will pick up the boxes otherwise steve has agreed to ship them to me no shipping charge I have priority mail boxes ready and will then ship out everyones packs. And then we start ripping yes i did figure in enough shipping the only thing not figured in was the 2.50 in paypal fees for those who pay paypal hope this answers all your questions. regards Gary
Paypal sent. my forum name matches my message email name....or at least the first part of it.........everything on my paypal account is current.....five more to GO!!!
How Ironic Arnys the first to sign up and the last to Pay
Just kidding Arny your probably busy. Well First thing in the morning I will order Boxes. I will be at Steves Wherehouse on the 4th and hopefully be home on the 7th. Staring at all those boxes.
Just wanted to say thanks guys for helping make this rip go smooth so far. Wasn't sure how it was going to turn out but it's turning out to be worth the time to put together.
i was wondering what everyone thinks. What is the ONE card you would be happy with pulling even if every other card from all the other packs is crap. Mine is probably the 89 griffey UD. I have never owned this card and it would be sweet to get it pack fresh! What about everyone else?
I think I'm lucky in the sense that there are a great deal of cards that have virtually no monetary value that I would really enjoy pulling:
'88 Fleer Mark Grace Any '88 Greg Jefferies Any '87 Bo Jackson Any '86 Clemens Any '83-'85 Wade Boggs '87 Donruss Mike Greenwell '85 Topps or '86 Donruss Barbaro Garbey Garbey (no, that's not a typo. His full name is Barbaro Garbey Garbey ) Any Dwight Gooden RC Any Daryl Strawberry RC '82 Topps Lee Smith '83 Topps Frank Viola Any '85 Eric Davis RC '87 Fleer Will Clark '89 Donruss Curt Schilling
And a host of others. What can I say? I'm easily pleased. Most of this stuff -- if not all -- I haven't ripped since it came out so I have this tendency to root for the pulls I wanted back then.
Arthur Any early-80s Jim Rice, Carl Yazstremihoffdhuuohski, Fred Lynn
1980 Henderson. Never opened any of it, about the only 80s set I don't have.
Also some error cards. An 88 Comstock White, or an 89 Ripken.
On that note, just how common are those 88 topps errors? Maybe that is a set that should be collected more if the errors are hard to come by.....even though the print run has one hundred billion quadrillion (dollars).
Trying to complete: 2000 Bowman Chrome 2002 Topps Heritage NAP 2003 Topps Heritage chrome and seat relics 2006 Topps Heritage refractors and relics 2007 Topps Heritage refractors and relics 2008 Topps Heritage refractors and relics 2006 Topps Heritage and Topps Chrome football
The comstocks were fairly easy to pop back in the day..alot easier than the Ripken FF card... There were also the Eddie Murray and Mark McGwire leader errors (or corrected variations ) at the start of the set '88 too...
PS....when are these things going out?? I NEED to rip!!
'88 Topps also had an Al Leiter RC error/variation that I can't quite remember.
From the last 80's breaks, I picked up a few good cards but not any of the big ones if I remember right. I'd like to pull a pack full of centered '84 Donruss cards that I need to complete the set with!
* '72 BASEBALL #15 100% * C. PASCUAL BASIC #3 * T. PEREZ BASIC #4 100% * L. TIANT BASIC #1 * DRYSDALE BASIC #4 100% * MAGIC MASTER #4/BASIC #3 * PALMEIRO MASTER/BASIC #1 * '65 DISNEYLAND #2 * '78 ELVIS PRESLEY #6 * '78 THREE'S COMPANY #1
Ok guys I just got back to California. Heres the low down. We have all boxes except for one When I picked up the boxes from Steve he had all I needed except for a box of 81 fleer. He was out. But I already ordered a box from da card world and it should be here soon so I will get everyones packed up and soon as the 81 fleer box arrives i will get them all out hopefully by midweek. Any questions let me know.
Arthur I plan on taking a pic of all the boxes laid out. will post it soon as I can
