This is gonna be fun, I think the last pack of cards I opened was about 4 years ago. However, that was disappointing. An entire box of 1989 Upper Deck and not a single Griffey. The gods of packs gotta get me back this time.
My last rip was probably about 1993. This will take me back to the good old days.

Do we have a structure for this rip? One pack per week of two packs per week? Is it a rip 'em when you get 'em free for all? I like some stucture, but I could go through 16 packs in about 15 minutes just as well.

This is my first rip session, but it would be nice to only do 1 or 2 a day and then post scans of the better cards.
But you will be on the honor system no matter what we decide as a group.

Well fellas I know the other rips seem to get drawn Out I was Gonna say about 2 weeks should keep us all interested and scanning. I was gonna post a schedual soon as I send out the packs . 1 Pack a day starting with 85 and working down. This way we have a little fun everday for 2 weeks not 2 months.
Ok all have contacted me or PAID but 1. So now I can give him some Chit. Were are you hiding Arny my Man . Wern't you the last one to pay on my 80's rip. Is this like your good luck ritual JK Arny
Has any one heard from ArnyVee in the last few days
Where does he live? Maybe he's snowed (or iced) in without power. Or maybe he won the lottery and bought an island in the South Pacific and is sorting cards on his 40 foot yacht.

I checked his Ebay store and stuff ships out of Hollywood Florida. So I am taking a wild guess and eliminate the snow/ice. The yacht looks like a more probable guess.

Easy fellas...I'm still in, just have some problems with my PayPal account. Someone is putting through a large dispute and things have to get settled before I can send payments right now.
I hadn't been able to get online for the past four days though because of a few things. But, I'm back.
I already let 80's junkie know and he's aware. We are good to go.

So I throw on some pants and answer the door holy chit It was my fed ex guy. Hes gotten so use to delivering to me he made one last stop just for me. He said normally It would have just stayed in the truck till monday because he was out of time for today . But since I was on his way back to the warehouse he figured I was waiting eagerly. Guess all those beers Ive offered him over the last year finally paid off. 7:30 at night thats what I call service

I know our neighborhood UPS driver will backtrack the residential area on weekdays after 5:30 with big and/or heavy packages. I guess they do not want to handle it again the next day.

Well here is another pick of our beauties. A little disapointed in the 78 packs they are a little on the rough side but the 77s and all the others look pristine. Im working on getting the packs seperated and boxed up. Should all be going out Mon Morning. Hopefully we should all have them by next friday. I will post the rip schedual at the beggining of the thread With the first pack being ripped 1/26
Awsome packs. I will be watching with great interest when the fun begins. On a side note, wonder why Topps started putting a baseball design on the wrappers instead of a player design in 1980? Any ideas?

I read where the guy that designed the artwork for the packs starting hanging out at the boozer with the guy who cuts the card sheets.

Well the hard part is done . I just finished getting all the packs seperated boxed and labeled. Now a trip to the po in the morning and the packs will be on there way.

We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)
Thanks for organizing this again! It should be a blast.
It might be out of line with the spirit of the wax rip, but I am really into 1980 topps and do not care too much about 84 Donruss, for example. Would anyone consider trading their 80 pack for my 84 Donruss, plus a few $s if the $ value of the pack seems out of wack (a 1980 pack is about a $8 item)?
Just a thought. I know how Arny and the 84 guys are bonkers over 84 Donruss.
Or I could open for my birthday. Which is Wednesday.
Thanks again 80s!

On my way to the Post Office. I think everyone should have them by sat since they are going out priority . So we will shoot for Sunday as our First Rip day. Sound good

I'd like to possibly take advantage of the PSA pack grading special for January for a few of these packs ... let's get the rip rolling!

He posted in the '84 Donruss thread in the PSA Registry Forum about an hour ago.
He's around .... just ignoring this thread for one reason or another.
