Am not sure about the Aaron. Back centering looks 70/30 both ways...

    Back centering, schmack bentering. Rip that mofo and post scans!*

    Yeah, who am I kidding? image

    Paid $210 delivered. What does it cost to grade these racks?

    That looked like fun.

    The only 75 rack I've ever owned has a Fred Lynn RC on top and is in my safe. I collected racks with stars on top as a kid and my grandfather bought it for me at a local card show for $75. It was the oldest rack I'd ever seen, and there's no way it'll ever be opened, especially since all the other cards he bought for me were stolen a long time ago, and it's one of the things I have to remember him by.

    The Kaline is a really sharp looking card. I hope they dont bang you on the top/bottom centering too bad.

    Thanks for sharing the rip, it was great to see image

    No, just a complete (I hope) set of all the major 80s unopened wax/rack/cello packs, all of which I also own the respective complete sets. Thus opening the packs would just get me what I already have anyway.

    I don't do graded cards, remember?

    Must have been so much fun, great looking cards there; well except for the obvious centering problems on some ~ what a horrible QA department Topps used to have...

    That Aaron I think will get a PD qualifier because of the pink on his jersey on the front. I have an unopened rack with the same exact thing on his jersey. I think about half of his cards half this pink and unfortunalty it is a PD.
