I collect the all pro's from 76-80. If anyone gets any nicely centered ones and are willing to sell them, let me know. Hopefully, a rip like this happens again!
I will get mine posted later tonight. But the best card I got was a 2nd year Drew Pearson. PSA 8 quality. I got a Packer but he has wax on it but I should be able to get it off with some pantyhose 'cause it is on the front.
I have two takers for their Packer Cards. If anyone wants to trade their Packers let me know. All of my Raiders are spoken for.
just ripped my 76. the gum was sticking thru the wrapper and 3 of the 4 corners were torn so i figured i would open rather than grade...this would've been my first graded pack however.
nothing gradeable but pulled a nicely centered sam cunningham with wax stain on the front. it appears to be the best centered and best condition overall from the pack.
had a jack ham and bob kuenchenberg, both oc along with a couple of checklists.
better luck on the next packs...
Thanks,

My '76 highlight was a nicely centered "Too Tall" Jones rookie card. Slight touch under 10x by lower right would probably keep from a 9 holder, but definitely a solid 8. The centering was really nice on all the cards, with great corners too. Couple cards could be possible 10's.
After reading about your guys '78 packs, I gave mine a quick whiff and it too is musty. Basement Wax, I presume. I pulled that pack out of the box and into a ziploc bag because I don't want my other packs to smell like that. Will our water-damaged '85 packs smell like that sooner or later? I have several unopened semi-vintage boxes that I store wrapped in bubble wrap and then in a shoebox or appropriate size box. Sometimes I throw a packet of silica gel in with my boxes to try and help ward off any humidity problems. Is this wise or dumb? Even if it doesn't do much, it doesn't seem like it could hurt anything.
Piman at least your Anderson looks better than mine. I wonder if he is difficult to find centered?

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.
<< <i>Doug, I need that John James for my All Pro collection. It looks like it is in pretty good shape. Is it for sale? >>
Sure, I can send it to you. Most of my cards are in the VG-EX to NM range, so I'm less confident in higher grade cards, but it might be an 8. The upper right corner isn't perfect, but the card looks great otherwise.
You're looking for other all pros, right? Let's see if I get any others too.
I sent you a PM. I am fine with centered 7 and 8 type cards. I can't tell you how much money I have saved over my collecting life by "settling" for centered 7 and 8's. To me, a corner touch kinda dissapears inside the holder.
For 1977 I got a Mike Haynes RC that I think will grade PSA 9 (maybe higher ?). The other cards were in great shape. I pulled out 4 other commons I thought might have a shot at PSA 10.
What does a box of 1977 go for? What did ours cost? If I could get a box made up of packs as nice as the one I got I would be very happy.
I don't see any full boxes on the BBCE website. He sells them for $25 a pack though. Great pull on that Haynes. I look forward to seeing a scan. I have been trying to pick one up lately, but there is a fair amount of interest in that card since it is his rookie. I missed out on a high end 8 that went for $28. In 9, that might very well be a $100 card.
A frighteningly sharp Alan Page.... and another beauty of a pack.
The Alzado is nice, but has wax on the back.
By the way, if anyone sees anything that they want, let me know. I am going to keep some of the dead on stars (like the Page), but most of it is available. I am interested in any ex-LSU players you pull or your '86 "scrub commons." I think I'm going to put this set together raw.

I liked Steve Furness' pose. The receiving leaders had Chuck Foreman on it for me, but there is a bubble in the card's surface.
Nice Tingelhoff, sidepocket!

not a good sign when my best card is:
1) Gene Upshaw
2) Wax stained on the reverse
oh well --- condition was near perfect on these 21 year old cards. Can't beat that.

What does a box of 1977 go for? What did ours cost? If I could get a box made up of packs as nice as the one I got I would be very happy.
I'll post scans when I get a chance.

I bet someone ended up with a VERY nice Payton RC, though, judging by the condition of my pack.
