Crap, I just read the couple of last posts. Looks like I screwed up. If you guys will still let me in I just paid. If not I understand that I waited to long.
80's Junkie if I can't get in please refund my money when you get around to it.
If someone else still wants in, they are welcome to one of my 3 lots. Wasn't trying to be a hog, was just trying to help get all the packs signed up for.
Thanks for the flexibility guys. If it is any consolation I took 2nd place in the fishing contest. 2nd biggest Northern Pike for the weekend. Can't wait to start cracking.

I see your in wisconsin? Know of any cheapish fishing resorts around the chippewa flowage?
If you decide to do this again i would like to get in on it - its a great idea to spread the cost out over 30 or so people & everyone has the same chance at a great pull!

When do you think the packs will be go out from your place to ours? I will be out of the city through Saturday the 24th. If you think it will be before then, I'll give you the address where I will be staying. Or if you don't mind holding on to mine until the 23rd or 24th that will work. Either way thanks for all the hard work
OK, here's my heart attack for the day. I log into my PayPal account, and a quick scan of my recent activity shows a $155 payment to, and I quote, "The Beer Bong Shop".
Well I was certain someone had hacked into my PayPal account. Imagine my relief when I looked into the "details" and saw a subject of "football packs" in the details.
Now, you gotta admit it takes a lot of trust to have The Beer Bong Shop package your packs, one of which will contain a perfectly-centered 1976 Walter Payton, another of which will contain a gem Montana rookie.
Dig dug Im not sure still waiting on the boxes to get from bbce an dacw to me. Im hoping by friday at the latest and I'll get them all seperated and boxed this weekend. So most likely will be getting them out Monday 19th They will be going out priority mail so 2-3 days after that. I dont know digdug I could hold yours for a couple extra days before i send yours. Of course everybody I will ship sooner if I get the boxes sooner. I ve got a itch for wax too I know everyones waiting eagerly.

I actually noticed that too.
I woke up the Monday after the Super Bowl and saw that I had sent the paymetn to: "The Beer Bong Shop."
I wondered if in my drunken stupor after the Bears loss that I ordered something crazy off the net. I was a little excited to see what showed up, kinda like my own little Christmas.
But I soon put 2 and 2 together and realized that the $155 went for the FB rip and NOT to my next night of debauchery. Oh well. I'll get 'em next time.
Shoot i might be interested in a 4 man chugger. What size funnel is in there and how well does it sperate between the four hoses? Also, what do you use to attach the funnel to the 4 way? Glue or clamp?
The eagle has landed!!! We have most of the boxes actually everything showed up today except for the 78 box. Had to order that from dacw becuase steve sold out before I placed the order. But heres a pick for us all to start drooling. Cant wait to crack this 76 box. it will be my first gai box crack I will get evrything split and boxed this weekend. Hopefully the box 78 box shows up today too. I know mondays a postal holiday anyone know if ups runs monday?
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. 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)

I think I might use that pic of all the 70's/80s boxes together as my new desktop wallpaper..That is too sweet...
Would look ever better framed and hanging in my game room!lol
Look forward to the rip! Jason
I'm here to question, not to inspire or build up. To live how I want, as I see fit, according to my values and my needs. Nothing holds dominion over me, I stand alone as the ruler of my life.
WOW seeing that 1984 pack sure brings back memories. I went to my very first card show (I was 10 almost 11) in the early summer of 1985. Stan Musial was there signing autographs at $5 ea but no one was getting them. My dad stood there and talked with Stan Musial for like 2 hours since Musial had nothing to do. I bought a Fran Tarkenton RC (nice NM to NM-MT) for $30. There was a guy selling boxes of 1984 Topps (with that black X on top) for $4.00 ea!! I had spent all my cash so I went to ask my dad for a loan of $4 (or maybe even $8). I explained what a great deal it was (vs. $0.25 per pack = $9 a box) and how you could get a Dan Marino RC in there that was worth a whole $3.00 by itself! My dad asked the seller how many boxes he had and bought all remaining 11 boxes for me for $44. It was blast to open those 11 boxes. I remember telling my dad how that Dan Marino card would be worth $100 one day (not joking here). At one time I had over 20 Marino cards all put in a 9 pocket holder page (front to back to save money on the 9 pocket pages). Years later the sets I made from those boxes helped pay a little bit towards college. Anyway that why I love 1984 Topps and will someday put together a PSA 9 set. I can't wait to open one up!!
I'm probably gonna bust mine all at once because I have no willpower, and just post the scans by year along with you guys. I can't sleep knowing there's unopened wax somewhere in my house. Often I'm tempted to tear down my walls and dig up the floorboards on the off chance something's hidden. I have a problem.

I would have to do the same thing....
Wish I had gotten in on this one but I was broke when it came up. If you guys have fun (which I'm sure you will) and this works out, I would definitely be interested in joining in on the next one. Heck, I had a great time busting a 93 SP box and 88T rack case.
Good luck with the breaks guys. I am jealous already!
I'll post the rip schedual in a few days . They all went out today so hopefully everyone will have them by this weekend. (except for the one going to the UK) So Im thinking we will rip the first pack Monday. Probably start with 76 and work up ripping 1 pack a day.

Looking forward to this. I would like to offer to purchase all of the Packer Cards no one wants. I will also trade the commons to others if they need them for their sets. PM me if you are interested.

Hopefully everyone will get there packs this weekend. Posted the rip schedaul at the top of thread. We will start with the 76 and work our way up. Dont forget to share some scans of your pulls for us all to enjoy
I sent my 76 pack in to be graded so I hope someone pulls the payton rookie so I wont have to be tempted to rip mine someday
I received my box yesterday. Another awesome packing/shipping job. I pulled the '76 pack just to look at it and it was beautiful. I'm torn on grading/ripping at this point. Thanks again for bringing back my childhood. 1976 was the first year I really collected football cards and I had at least 5 Payton rookies. However, between my cousin and I we did not get a single Jerry Shirk card out of probably 3000 cards!! I remember coloring in all the boxes on the team checklist cards except for the tight end on Browns or Bengals, I don't remember. Anyways, traded all of my 1976 - 1979 football cards for the same in baseball. Looking forward to getting 1 "Sweetness" back.
I will trade any commons or stars that are not rookies for 1969 topps football, if any of you have some graded, non graded whatever condition above vg let me know and i will gladly trade for what you want.
