Heres the highlights of my 86 donruss and my nice ryan with a crease out of my 86 topps. looked good till i put it under the blue lite and found a hairline crease

alnavman

Well, I got a little impatient and opened my 85 Fleer pack.....best card I got is scanned. Starting to get antsy as far as opening.....I want to open them all.......I think I'm going to send this in for grading.

alnavman

Does anyone know if PSA grades sportflics cards??? I got a Clemens that I think is worthy but don't want to send it in to just have them return it.....

I believe that they do. If I recall they are part of the many player sets.

ArnyVee

Ripped the '86 Sportsflic pack...not much. But, did get a TRI-STAR "Repeat Batting Champs" card with Dave Parker, Bill Madlock & Pete Rose. The other two cards were Greg Walker & Jeff Reardon. So, nothing spectacular. I don't like the way these look when you scan them, so I'll skip the scan on these.

I hope that I have some decent look with those '85s.

riccaboni

Great scans, love the '86 Donruss.

It's amazing to me how solid of a design '86 Donruss verses the very unappealing '86 Fleer. I'm undecided about how the '86 Topps looks.

Sorry I have been lax in my sharing of scans. Here are scans of the stars I received in my 1989 through 1986 packs.
So far I have been very lucky. The 89 UD Griffey Jr I previously posted and the 86 Fleer Canseco/Plunk shown below.
I am looking forward to 1985 trough 1980, but I am extremely hapy with my results thus far.

80sJunkie

Opened my 85 topps pack and caught me a big mouth bass



I think I'll Throw him back

alnavman

NYYDM23 - noticed you were interested in Mattingly items. Don't know if you have this card or not but it is available. Mattingly 1986 Topps Super PSA 8. I've sent PM with price.

They sure do. I have a bunch in my Mattingly master set.

If anyone pulls any Paul O'Neill rookies from their 86 fleer or donruss packs Id be happy to take them off your hands !

ArnyVee

My 1985 Fleer pack was fun to rip, but nothing much to show....Fingers and a card that was popular back in the day..the Gruber rookie.

Guys.... I'm still way behind on the rip .... here are the best of my '87's.....


1987 Fleer .... I love the look of this set ... and really like the photography of these two. Mookie looks like a real bad a$$.



1987 Donruss .... Three HOF's in one pack ... nice!



1987 Topps ... horrible pack, but I got what looks like a 44 year old rookie and easily one of the best afro's of 1987, and perhaps the first I've ever seen on a guy with two first names. $$$$



Good stuff!

-Tom

blindflyer

Here are my '86's .... not near as enjoyable for me as the '87's .... did score a killer Vince Coleman RC ... and the Rose record hit card is really cool.



Interestingly ... the back of the Rose card hails the event the "baseball event of the century" .....

In the 13 years that followed (1987-1999), I believe we saw TWO bigger events of the century, BOTH occuring in 1998 ---- The McGwire HR record and the Ripken iron-man record. Pretty crazy, really ....

-Tom

blindflyer

Sorry for the excessive consecutive posts as I get all caught up .... 1985 Fleer.

Nailed my BEST pull so far in this rip!!!!!



I may send this Donny Baseball into PSA under the $5 special. It's a beauty!

...and I threw the Expos sticker up In Memoriam. A classic logo and memorable team. Still sad to see them gone. R.I.P.

-Tom

blindflyer

Last post of the night ..... here is today's rip: 1985 Donruss.



I actually pulled TWO Boggs out of the same pack.

WTF!!!!!!!!!

ArnyVee

My '85 Topps pack was definitely a trip back down memory lane, but wasn't very fruitful. Although, back in '85, a Mark Langston regular issue rookie would've been something! Even with this huge wax stain on the back.



....the rest goes like this....

Clay Christiansen
Dave Anderson
Julio Cruz
Greg Pryor
Marty Castillo
Rick Leach
Ricky Horton
Rick Rhoden
Gene Garber
Dwayne Murphy
Vance Law

.....cool little trivia questions on the back of the cards...forgot about those....hope the '84s (especially my beloved Donruss) produce some nice results

this is fun-ner then a new set of snow tires!! YEEEHAW!!!!!! Love the 85's...if anybody dont care to keep their commons send them my way.

You guys think busting packs is fun, try having all these sets in binders and getting to take an epic journey down memory lane whenever you wish. Or at least I can once I get new shelves...

BTW, that 1987 Topps set that one guy busted is one of my favorites. Very nice design front and back.

Estil

zef204: 492 Zane Smith...Score says, "Zane was one of the best left handers in the league in 1988 despite a losing record." The dude was 5-10 with a 4.30 ERA.

Well, what did you want the card to say? "This guy sucks"?

80sJunkie

well nothing special in my 84 fleer pack but a cool pic of a younger torre. I didnt realize he has been a manager for so long he must be getting old. Oh well go yanks. And this sisk is razor sharp gonna submit it with my nov special

ArnyVee

This pack didn't open up like all of the others that I've opened recently. Not saying it was tampered with, but it sure seemed weird with what looked like a little glue. But, I hope I'm only overreacting and that the rest of you end up with perfectly centered Mattinglys, Ripkens & Ryans (among other 'star' cards )...I ended up with sweet Lou and a card that was sort of popular rookie in the So Cal area in the mid 80s of A.Hawkins.



.....rest of the pack goes like this....

Brewers Sticker
Bob Forsch
Jay Howell
Billy Sample
Al Holland
Craig McMurtry
Dick Ruthven
Jerry Hairston
Bake McBride
Scott Fletcher
Pat Zachry
Bob Stanley
Britt Burns
Bill Laskey

.....good luck to the rest of you on this pack. I can't wait until tomorrow's rip!

XanaduNow

I've got some catching up to do. Sorry about the delay guys.

Nothing to write home about but I did pull some Sox so I'm happy. I still remember being 8 years old and spending all my vacation money on '85 Topps packs at Cape Cod. I was so happy just to pull Red Sox players ... things haven't changed much.

Gotta love the Francona photo. So much for keeping your eye on the ball, huh? Good thing he's a better manager than a player. Another weird thing about this card is that on the back the copyright says "1984 Donruss" despite the fact that it's an '85. Weird.

How does someone with the name Razor Shines not become a superstar? Baffling.



Arthur

jayhawke

That is a great looking 85 fleer Mattingly. At least a 9 and maybe a 10.

Lothar52

jradke4

I loved those Fleer In Action cards.

rvc

1988 score
nolan ryan perfect centering slight corner trouble

1988 fleer
roger clemens all star team #4 pretty nice maybe a 9...liked him on my team
impossible to see top to bottom centering

1989 bowman
ken griffey oc corner roughage

1989 sportflics
boggs,canseco,greenwell ...arthur pm me your address if interested

1987 topps
barry bonds with some skinny guy's picture oc and bad corner

1986 topps
every card was upside down

1985 donruss

orel hershiser oc
kent hrbek oc
ron kittle oc
cal ripken oc
alvin davis oc

1985 topps
pete rose oc bad corner

i think we should put together a list of who's working on any of these sets so i can send all these cards to someone. i am working on 1984 donruss in psa 10 so keep me and arny in mind for 84 donruss.

80sJunkie

Ok I'm a few hours early but I 'm taking my niece and nephew to disneyland tommorrow so i wont be able to post.

Here you go Arny the day you been waiting for time to bust some 84 donruss.

blindflyer

Hey all ---- Arny is no longer alone!

I just started my PSA 9 registed '84 Donruss set.....

Happy to trade/buy for anything that looks 9 worthy!

Thanks,
Tom

PS Yes, I'm out of control.

I'm working both behind and ahead on packs, since I'm in in between out-of-town trips for one day today. Overall, a these were good pulls with rookies like Gwynn, Gooden, McGee, O'Neill, etc as well as cards of Ryan, Ripken, Sutter, Carlton, etc.

1986:


1985:

I'm way behind. Here is 87 Topps.

Alfiewt

87 sportflics

Alfiewt

86 fleer was not bad. Guidry, Eric Davis, Dykstra, and Dwight Gooden All-Star Team! Not HOFers, but still great players.

ArnyVee

80'sjunkie, I think that I might want that Dravecky from you, if possible. Tom, I've got a couple here that look pretty spiffy as the pack produced about 5 PSA 9 possible cards! Best I've had in awhile! Not a lot of stars, but I was looking for PSA possible stuff and I found it. That Jerry Remy is normally a tough card to find centered. I had to show the Boggs although it was O/C



....the rest went like this....

Bobby Clark (solid 9, possible 10)
Onix Concepcion (seems like a pretty solid 9)
Bob Knepper (o/c)
Scott Ullger (looks like an 8)
Garry Maddox (o/c)
Ed Whitson (looks like a strong 8)
Larry Pashnick (o/c)
Jeff Jones (possible 8, but had corner ding)
Tom Niedenfuer (o/c)
Dane Iorg (o/c)
Dickie Thon (o/c)

.....all in all, it was a good pack for me. With this nice centering in my pack, I sure hope one of you ends up with that Mattingly and Joe Carter PSA 10 that is lurking in one of our packs! Good luck!

Bruce, either you pitched too many day games and got a bad case of sunburn, or I need to check my scanner out?

blindflyer

Rd,

The Lopes and Sutter look GREAT!

Definitely interested if you're looking to trade.
