    Got my two packs today. PM me your address Mark, I would like to get the money off to you. And thanks again for organizing this.

    My little guy opened mine too--was hoping for a change in my recent ripping luck. In addition to a bunch of OC cards I also got a couple with a lightly touched corner.

    Did pull four Toronto Maple Leaf cards, but unfortunately the nicely centered Leaf team card has a touched corner.image Here is the list:

    Ric Seiling
    Dave Burrows (this is a nice one...a 9 at least...and in a Leaf uniform too)
    Curt Bennett
    Don Lever
    Yvan Cournoyer (shame...this one is very well centered but it has some chipping along the edge)
    Mike Milbury
    Toronto team card
    Don Ashby
    Tom Edur
    Rick Blight
    Gilles Meloche
    Doug Halward
    Craig Ramsay (nice card)
    Darryl Sittler
    Dave Hudson
    Dale McCourt
    Gary Croteau
    Jacques Lemaire
    Cliff Korroll (gum stuck to back of this one)

  • OK, cards paid for, let's rip.

    Wrappers were the same, with a small rip on the black part of the wrapper. Mostly O/C to some degree. I see that OPC's quality control made sure to get the Ron Low cards perfect.

    Why is Don Edwards picture smaller than the rest?

    Mostly no names for the rest.

    I'm looking for goalie cards, please LMK.

    Thanks,

    First a big thanks to USPS. I had inadvertently transposed two numbers in my zip code when sending my shipping address to Mark.
    My package went to another town about 20 miles from where I live. Since my street doesn't exist there, post office employees
    redirected my package to the correct address. Instead of Saturday, I received the package today. It was worth the wait to open
    these 78/79s.

    Like all the others, my cards were mostly OC and sometimes close to MC.

    Here is the bounty from my two packs:
    #5 77-78 Highlights Unger
    #8 Larry Patey (x2)
    #27 Lee Fogolin - best centered card, scan below
    #36 Mike Plasse
    #73 Wayne Dillon - with gum firmly attached to back
    #77 Gerry Hart - not listed in pop report
    #125 Rick MacLeish
    #166 Wayne Thomas
    #169 Dan Bouchard
    #184 Jean Pronovost
    #205 St Louis Blues
    #211 John Davidson
    #223 Wayne Stephenson
    #261 Jean Hamel
    #338 Mike Kitchen (x2)
    #355 Blair Stewart
    #361 Larry Brown

    And the scans of the best

    Oh and did I mention #115 Mike Bossy?
    Here's the scan:

    How harsh is PSA on the rough cut on the sides of OPC's?
  • Boy that Bossy is rough...curious as to what it would grade too.

    I thought he was munching on a puck...LOL

    Awsome, congrats on the Bossy image

  • They have no problem with the rough cuts hell just look at the PSA 10 gretzky rookie from 79. Its the left to right that may cause you more of a problem. Well we are up to two bossy rookies not to bad im thinking I will be SOL when my packs arrive but maybe the orr will appear. Nice cards everyone thanks again for sharing. This has been alot of fun.

  • Hey Blade FYI there are only 1 psa 9 card 335 and 1 of 336 so could be a few bucks in it for you if you hit a 9 or 10. There is two PSA 9 Low's with zero 10's as well. Might end up paying for your packs if they grade high enough.

    the best conditioned star card from my packs

    << <i>Why is Don Edwards picture smaller than the rest? >>



    Above the photo on the Topps version was a spot for 1st or 2nd team all star classification. They didn't use these on the OPC version so there is a blank spot.

    No chit image

    Got a Bossy. On my 6th and final pack, second from the last card. OC but I couldn't be more happy with it.

    I'm going to save two packs for a rainy day, I have a good feeling there might be a Reg Leach in there.

    image

    I got a few real nice cards but lots of OC. Sure is a lot of fun rippin.
    This is pretty much a first for me, opening vintage (not 90-91) that is.
  • Thats four Bossy's we as a group pulled from this rip. Not bad at all. To bad so many o/c's.

  • Dont feel bad Nightcrawler I was going to hold a couple packs back for grading and that thought lasted about 3 seconds. Its hard to not rip em all.

    I'm wondering with all the cards together, how close are we to a set?

    Would anyone be interested in pooling the cards and having a draw?

    Here's some of the better looking cards I pulled.
