The 82's were terrible. The highlight was a gum stained Fred Lynn. The good news is that the 83 topps pack was fantastic. It didn't have any of the super duper cards, but 4 stars all centered great. If anybody gets an 83 topps boggs that isn't a 9 or 10 and wants to trade it let me know.
I won a Colecovision!! Well, not really. My '82 Donruss cards were wretched. All of my '83 Topps have corner damage. I did find a new addition to my Pirates collection, though.

If anyone wants to trade your 1980 topps from the rip, I would trade any other year for your 1980 topps. I pulled a couple from 78 that could 10, but everything else is there inc. some stars. So, if you are building a 78 set or 79, or 81, or 84 donruss, trade me your 1980. 1980 was my first year collecting, so I love it beyond reason.
May be a silly question... but does anyone get those insert cards graded? I mean, to some, if you're building a complete set from that year, wouldn't you want the insert graded?

I have little to show over the last three packs. I'm heading out of town so I'll have to catch up next weekend. I'll still be watching to see if anyone pulls any great cards. I was hoping to see something after the Ripken...Nice Gwynn or Boggs maybe...something

Looking through my rips from 77 to 82 and putting them into penny sleeves I found a card that I failed to recognize the first time through. Here is the scan.
I wonder how many times I have passed over other stars and placed them in my commons boxes.
That is a great looking Nolan!...are you selling your commons anytime soon...lol

Well, I opened my 83 Fleer and 83 Donruss packs today....don't know what I was thinking but thought today was the 4th....oh well. And to make matters worse, nothing worth talking about in either pack....
I would post a scan of my 83 fleer, but then I would have to cleanup my platten.

I've been bad again....jumped ahead and opened my 84 Donruss pack......I'm working on the registry set and couldn't wait any longer....bad news is wouldn't have mattered how long I waited...pack was a waste, nothing worth showing......
All my '83 Topps had corner dings...best of the group below...PLUS, a nice Boggs rookie from my Fleer pack! Definitely a 9....does the top to bottom centering have a PSA 10 shot?

The Martin is fairly representative of the centering in the pack. The Carter is not.

Nothing very good again in the 84 Topps. My best pull was a Jack Fimple rookie, but it was o/c.

My '83Topps pack had a torn corner and, as a result, badly dinged corners, so I opened it tonight. (I'm sending in most of the packs for grading during the February special.) Here are the cards I received:
769 Checklist 303 Miguel Dilone (Indians, OF) 346 Joe Pittman (Padres, 2b) 422 George Cappzzello (Astros, P) 612 Steve Swisher (Padres, C) 642 Checklist 66 Bob Lillis (Astros, Manager) 26 Jerry Royster (Braves, 3b-2b) 368 Richie Zisk (Mariners, DH-OF) 481 Scot Thompson (Cubs, OF) 64 Bill Stein (Rangers, 1b-3b) 410 Phil Niekro (Braves, P) 724 Johnny Grubb (Rangers, OF) 197 Jim Eisenreich (Twins, OF -- the man Kirby Puckett replaced in 1984, I believe!) 48 Lary Sorensen (gum stained; Indians, P)
1984 Fleer not to exciting , but I was happy with the McGee, some Reds and Griffey Sr.

I had much better luck on the 84 Fleer. I pulled the highly coveted Mike Warren rookie.

It looks like the slightest of tilts (check the bottom right and upper left), but certainly not enough to affect the grade.
