    Oh, wait. I opened it. Looks like it is there! Sportsflics......oohhhh, ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I kind of did my own 80s break with some Topps and Donruss I got off Ebay last week. Didn't pull anything great in about 35 packs, but some VERY nice conditioned cards. My 85 donruss that I opened seemed to have chipping. This seems like a TOUGH set. The rest were in pretty great condition. Best 2 cards were pry a Boggs RC and some Roses and Ryans. Got 2 Ryans in one pack. I'm liking the 82-84 Donruss. They came out in GREAT condition. The 81 Donruss gum ate through half my pack. I can post scans next week. Gotta go to the Nebraska v. Texas game Saturday.

    Thanks 80s. Just had to flip you some crap.

    Oh, I have 1 78 pack and 2 79 packs.....really don't want to rip em.....but what should I do with em?

    Oh.....and can someone PM me or post instructions on getting wax off the FRONT of a card? I'm guessing the gum stains and wax stains on the backs of the cards are pretty much 'stained'.

    Looks like I'll have to rip some ahead or behind schedule since I have a business trip smack dab in the middle of the pack ripping schedule. Hmmm, decisions, decisions.

    When we sent out the wedding invitations, we dropped them at the PO that is less than a block from my place here in Chicago. My cousins in L.A. got it in 3 days and the one we sent to us, that litterally had to travel a block got here in 5 days. There is no rhyme or reason to their madness. Thankfully it is cheap. image

    Got mine yesterday. Picked it up at the PO late last nite. I got an '88 Donruss box with Dale Murphy smiling all over it. Never saw those '89 Topps "cello" wax packs before. Cant wait until Sunday to rip the UD pack. Maybe it will be the first Griff, I pull from a pack. Back in the day I never got one in a pack. I had to buy them all as singles.

    The eagle has landed in beautiful, scenic, south LA...

    I was the proud recipient of the '86 Donruss Box...

    Sportflics???? Yeah, baby! They suck, and they're ugly, but man, does that bring back memories. My first packs as a kid were '86 Topps, and then I think I spent an entire years' worth of lunch money on '87 Topps. Sportflics were only available at our one card shop. They were "a treat." Awesome, 80s.... Those weren't part of our original deal, were they?

    I saw the '89 Topps cello.... What is the other celloish pack that was in there?

    Nope the sportsflics are the mystery packs i had talked about. While making the deal on the other boxes got the 4 sportsflics boxes thrown in free. Now we have a complete 80's rip

    Thanks, zef.

    That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure. I didn't dig through my whole box yet... Is that our 83T pack, or is there an actual wax pack in there?

    And is that our only 89T pack, the cello?

    I can't wait to rip.... Thankfully, I've got a busy weekend.... or I think there'd be a pile of wrappers by 7PM tonight. Once I get into the routine of just one a day, I'll be OK.

    I hope.

  • I'm guaranteed at least one Greenwell! image

    I'll trade just about anything I get to whoever pulls a nice Topps or Donruss Greenwell RC. Also, any of the '88s. Heck, let's just say I'll trade HOFers for any Greenwell or Burks pulled. image

    Well I got the 83 michigan test packs instead of wax i thought that would be a nice surprise. Also the 89 is not a cello its a 15 card pack and 36 packs to a box just like the wax. Did some research and asking around seems it was a test pack in 89 kinda like the 83. except they were only sold on the west coast. So the 83 and 89 are both test packs Kinda cool.

  • I received my packs today. Thank you for organizing this wax rip.
  • ajwajw Posts: 2,281 ✭✭✭
    This is pretty awesome, guys. I have to say that I'm more than a little surprised at how my 80's Topps wax rip has ballooned. It sure is fun to watch!
  • Ok i cant hold it in I must confess. No I didn't open any of my packs for the rip schedual.

    The 83 fleer boxes actually have 38 wax packs so when i got everybodys ready i set the extra 2 aside and forgot about them. While I just remebered them and staring at them saying rip me now. so I did I'm guilty.
    Heres what was in one of the extra 2 packs but i didn't rip my fleer pack for the rip i'm being a good boy. maybe there will be another one of these in that one too.
    image
    Hopefully it a sign that were gonna have a lot of fun ripping these packs

    remeber we start sunday with the 89 upperdeck I have the schedual posted at the beginning of this thread incase someone forgets what day we are on.image
