Candlelight, soft music, fine wine, hors d'ovres, seven course meal, fancy dessert and then...I'm ripping them all. Are you kidding me, no way in hell I can leave packs un-opened!
Collecting Topps, Philadelphia and Kellogg's from 1964-1989
Having never been in one of these before, do people usually post here what goodies they find?
Thanks to Chris and Steve for making this happen.
Can't wait... >>
Usually there will be requests for scans once the ripping begins. I think 76 ot 77 was the last year I collected football, so this will be fun rip for me. To all those participating... I'm looking for Packers cards, maybe we can work out some trades!!!
Sorry if I was holding everybody up, but I'm still waiting on a $2,000,000 Western Union wire transfer to clear into my account, from this great e-mail opportunity I got the other day from a Prince Akhmandukou.
<< <i>What is a F. P. F. C. C. A. Membership ????? >>
F.P.F.C.C.A. ='s Financially Pathetic Football Card Collectors Assoc.
It was founded years ago with the mission of allowing us 'less fortunate' card collectors to amass larger quantities of football cards by breaking up our bigger purchases into more manageable smaller weekly payments.
To qualify for membership, you should have at least 2 credit cards maxed out with mainly football card purchases, you have to have used the Paypal e-check feature (out of necessity) within the past 2 months, your "eBay purchases for the past 60 days" total should be pretty close to your monthly income, plus you'll need at least 1 reference from a seller/dealer where you told them "I'd love to buy all of those cards today, but unfortunately I find myself financially embarressed at the moment. Is there any way I could make weekly payments until they're all paid off?"
We're currently trying to get some of the more prominent football card dealers to proudly display the "F.P.F.C.C.A. Logo" on their websites, so our members can easily recognize them. I believe Jeremy (T.F.C.S), NearMint Mike, Mintstate, Vic (V & J Cards), and Jay (Quality Cards) will all have our logo's up by next month.
We're also trying to work a deal with PSA to use our membership privaledges towards future submissions too.
Do Non Sport Collectors/And Or Comic Book Collectors who meet the financial criteria qualify for membership or do you have an affliate Group for them?

Actually Collect Non Sport, but am just so full of myself I post all over the place !!!!!!!
I don't think Steve will wait til they are all paid before shipping, from the email I got from him today ld me to think mine might be shipping today. Don't matter though I know Steve will come through so its just the wait that is gonna kill me.
However, will not be able to rip these packages until my wife travels back to the US to collect them in October. Luckily, she is bringing me one of my two boxes of 78BB from the "Gary's Downfall" 78 baseball rip from earlier in the year. I shall be very excited about ripping them when she returns to the UK Saturday morning!
It's apparent you didn't read any of the above posts. Mr G is in the UK and I believe that Gary is is California. >>
cant get cards until after wife gets back from US? Why not just have them shipped to the UK? >>
Maybe because he has a US shipping address to avoid paying a high customs tariff on them. >>
Im not saying I KNOW it is him. Ive just always had my suspicions about him. he really picked up his posting after the whole gary fiasco, he got the only decent card out of the last footbll rip, he has shown interest in high grade commons from a number of sets. Like i said, nothing i firmly believe, just cant get it out of my head. All apologies if i am way off here.
Just for clarification, since I've never been involved in any of these wax rips before .... Will it be considered rude and "in bad form" if I brag too much when I get the Payton, Largent, and Montana cards? Also, will it be OK to laugh at all of the OC common cards that Ping's going to get?
Thanks for your support Ping! Others have speculated that I am Gary. Those that have traded/sold/bought to/from me know my story. Enough said.
Actually I had mentioned to Chris in a PM that I would like these sent to the UK, but decided since my wife will travel to the US next month, I will send them to my home in GA, and she can just carry them in her luggage when she returns. (Probably safer than the UK postal delivery staff, riding their bicycles in the rain with my package!)
I did pull the one Payton on Gary's fraud rip, and had contacted him to return the entire lot. I decided to keep the bunch, and may someday have the card graded. Truthfully it is a 7-8 at best because of the discoloring of the card. The remainder of the lot was rubbish.
Steve did send me an email letting me know that the cards will be shipping today.
When you guys get your packs, let's start the ripping! (And share the scan's.) I will be ripping my '78 BB, and will be happy to post pic's of those that I pull.

You can Laugh all you want But I will probably be able to sell them, OC Commons with soft and rounded corners seem to sell pretty well
Got my cards in the mail today. Have'nt opened them yet. I having some friends over tomorrow for our regular card game and I think I will do it then. I played high school football with most of the guys in our regular card game and I think they would get a kick out of it. Most of us are 20 years out of high school this year. Don't worry they won't be allowed to touch any of them. Do you think I should put them in card saver 1's as soon as I open them?... I probably will.

Cant wait!
I am going to open the packs in front of a video camera
just in case I pull a HOF rookie in 9 or 10 !!

<< <i>Are we planning on doing 1 pack a day like some of the other rips? >>
Yea, put a few packs of cards in front of me... I'll be able to to rip one a day!!
NOT!! like I have that kind of control.... sheeet, I'd rip a pack of Sesame St cards if you left them in front of me.
Thanks, Tom

Guys,
Lets give CARPENTERROB and MrG a little more time (tomorrow?) before we offer up their lots. 2 of the 3 lots are spoken for if they do not respond.
Chris
I'm guessing that nothing will ship until all are paid, right?
Do Non Sport Collectors/And Or Comic Book Collectors who meet the financial criteria qualify for membership or do you have an affliate Group for them?
