1975 Topps FB Collectors- case-fresh racks for sale- LIVE RIP!!!

CDsNuts

Hello and please forgive the spam, but I just purchased a case-fresh 1975 Topps FB rack box from Steve Hart at the BBCExchange, and I'm looking to unload some of the packs to offset the cost. I will be listing some on ebay in a few weeks, but I figured I'd give the board members a shot first.

Each pack will be $125 plus shipping for board members (I'm going to list them at $135 on ebay). To give you an idea of what you can expect, softparade and I went in partners on a 3 box case of 1978 Topps BB (he took 2 and I took 1), and I averaged 1 PSA 10 per pack and a about 8-9 PSA 9's. Since the '75 box was pulled out of a fresh case as well, I'd expect no less out of this box.

Anybody on the boards that buys a pack will get a random pack from the middle of the box. Steve will be shipping the case today, so it should be here by the end of the week.

I just bought two cases of '86 Topps baseball vending, and since I'm feeling unusually charitable this evening I'll offer you a one time one-to-one trade- a vending box for a rack. PM me your mailing address and we'll get it done.

CDsNuts

Boo, no sense in risking damage to the vending box by sending it through the mail. Just send me one each of the many PSA 10 Nolan Ryan's and Cal Ripken's you're guaranteed to pull from the cases and I'll send you the rack.

Since you're in Maryland I'll also include any NM or better Larry Sheets or Ken Dixon cards I hazard across. Wow--looks like my charitable outlook has extended to the late morning hours. Please, for the love of God, somebody STOP ME BEFORE I GIVE AWAY MY SON!!!

CDsNuts

If you happen to strike gold and score a PSA 9 Lenn Sakata, I'll trade you the whole box of racks.

I just received the '75 rack box today and I have to tell you, centering is better than I expected. I looked at a few racks at random and we're looking at 60/40 at worst on any one card showing. What I'm going to do to make it fair is open one rack and scan the best cards out of the group. That way, anybody buying them will know what condition to expect.

I'll get some scans up as soon as possible of the box, a few individual racks, and the cards I pull out of the rack I open.

Lee

CDsNuts

Here are two racks I pulled at random from the top of the box:





I opened one rack and these are the 12 best condition cards I pulled. I think all should be 9's, with a few having a shot at a 10:

lee,
i think you messed up. i have received the rack, however it had a swann and fouts on the back. do you want this one back? maybe i should have it slabbed. btw, very nice packaging job.

psa9man

I'll take one. Can you please send me your paypal address? amontero5@aol.com

I'll buy any NM/MT+ Dolphins that anyone pulls.

CDsNuts

LD, Actually the one I sent with Swann on front and Fouts on back was the worst one in the box. There's one that has Swann showing on top and bottom of every section, there's one with all Cowboys stars showing, there's one with all Steelers HOFers showing, and there's one with a 1952 Topps Mantle showing- you figure that one out.

But seriously, glad it arrived to you safely. If you crack it, feel free to post the results.

psa9man- I just sent you an email.

lee,
i have cracked and i'll try to get scans tonite.

ldferg

i'm planning to send these 6 for grading out of the rack. several others look very clean with very very minor corner bends. you have to get it in the light to see it just right. the cards look very appealing to the naked eye. lee, thanks again. btw, i decided to keep the fouts and swann in the pack.

Three really nice cards of HOFers

I'd never seen that AFC championship game card before. That pic isn't from that game. Bradshaw wasn't wearing that facemask then and, more tellingly, that game was played in Oakland with the Raiders wearing their black jerseys and Pittsburgh in white.

CDsNuts

LD,
Looks like you got a crappy pack in terms of starpower (I assume you would've scanned any big dollar card regardless of condition). Based on the scans, I think you could pull a 10 on the Champs and the Holmes, and the rest are slam dunk 9s, but not the greatest pack ever.

Because I feel bad that your pack wasn't great and I want to have a little fun, I'm going to bust a rack and split the results with you. Anything that grades I'll put on ebay and we'll split the profits.

Lee


ps- And if you think I'm using this as en excuse to bust another pack, well you might be on to something.

ldferg

Lee,
sounds great. after these grades pop (i'll be sending tomorrow or tuesday) i may be in for another rack myself if you have any left.

i tried to pick out what i thought were 9s at least (the upshaw is bordeline with centering and the print marks). after reviewing some of the others from the list below, i may have another one or two to add.

note: you were right on the starpower. i'd say the majority of the cards listed below would 8. some have the slightest touch of corner bending from the tightness of the rack packs. here's the list of the remaining cards:

sam davis
greg brezina
bob johnson
roy gerela
ray brown
jim youngblood
mike bragg
claude humphrey
roger wehrli
preston pearson
bob hoskins
levi johnson

Here is the pack that David (LDfberg) and I will be splitting:



I went with this one because of the miscut card showing (top center) for two reasons: 1) I wouldn't feel right sending this pack out to someone who paid full price, and 2) I wanted to know if the centering was indicative of the cards inside. Here goes......

And there you have it. Two nice RCs, and a major card of one of the best QBs of all time. I think the Bleier is a 9, and the Theismann and Staubach are 8s. I think there are at least 5 or 6 other 9s, and hopefully a 10 somewhere in there. We'll see. That was fun.

If anybody else is interested, I have 8 racks left at $125 each plus $3 shipping. If you won't do it for yourself, do it for me. Please. The temptation is overbearing.

Nice looking cards overall. I see a few potential 10s in there. That Super Bowl Card is tough!
