Well, yesterday I was bored and popped a recently graded PSA 7 1972 Topps FB and pulled this sweet puppy. Dead PSA 9!!!
Yes, partly crazy popping packs I had graded out of the holder, but told myself that the PSA 7 wasn't worth a whole heck of a lot in $$.
Best "insane" decision I have made in a long time!!

Is that a wrinkle I see in the top left border?

Now go purchase a lottery ticket.

I was wondering that as well.
Awesome pull though. Did you start doing cartwheels?

Tried to do a cartwheel, but my feet hit the office ceiling. Will try one in the living room (higher ceiling) later.
Here are the rest of the high end cards from the two packs. All should be PSA 9's

Congrats on your pull. I don't think I'd be brave enough to open that pack.
1. pulling a PSA 9 (hopefully) Staubach out of two vintage packs.
or
2. Cracking a freshly graded PSA 7 1972 pack in the first place.
By sending the pack to PSA --- you couldn't have planned on ripping it.
Major PROPS ---- I'm impressed with your luck and your balls.

No. If I had, I would not have sent the wax pack in to get graded in the first place.

I'm going to sell. I have a very nice offer so far, but I don't believe one has been on ebay for over a half year and with this being so well centered, it might bring some strong bidding. Also, this is only the 6th or 7th PSA 9 graded since May of 2003.
Could get interesting if it hits ebay

What did the Alworth grade? If it's a 9, I'm interested in it.

Well congratulations Tree!
What a great Christmas gift.
Thanx for sharing.
Happy New Year

Any ways, here it is. Pack fresh, just back from PSA..........
So, by a show of hands, who thinks I should open the last two 1972 Topps FB wax packs (both PSA 8's) that I had graded to complete this run of insanity??

Buying Vintage, all sports.
Buying Woody Hayes, Les Horvath, Vic Janowicz, and Jesse Owens autographed items
First, thanx for the kind words.
Now, I'm gonna tell the truth - I didn't know anything about the pop or anything on the card.
There are less an 20 9s in about a 1000 graded!!!
That's incredible!
And the card looks great in the holder!
I guarantee there are people willing to make "arrangements" on this one!
thanx for sharing
mike
That is a sweet pull! With that centering I think the sky is the limit.
Awesome pack. Awesome.

Who would have thought you could turn a '72 pack into a PSA 9 Staubach rookie in 10 days!

Want to point out I opened two packs, one right after the first one, which yielded the Staubach. The cards (McDole. Alworth, etc.) in the scan are the best from two packs.
Zef204 –Thanks for pointing out the low pops, will have to get those in to PSA quickly. They are blazers!
My wife and daughters are off to Carlsbad for the day and night visiting a long time friend of hers. Looks like its me, my cards, the dog and the WAX PACKS……..I’ll be back tonight with scans!!!!

That's too cool - this run of luck is the kind of thing that will pleasantly stick in your memory for a long time.
And I agree - Mike brings quite a lot of positivity to the discussions here!

I guess it's the gambler in me --- but I see a pack and I've gotta rip!!!!!!
Great stuff and congrats!
