edwin5375 · September 27, 2007 2:13AM

I am going to run through the rest of my rips now.

Here is 1981:

edwin5375 · September 27, 2007 2:21AM

This is my 1983 rip:

edwin5375 · September 27, 2007 2:27AM

These are my 82 cards - Just a little note that it did make me laugh when I saw the football brothers card. I had forgoten about that one. Pack also had a cool little gold foil sticker of Dan Fouts.

edwin5375 · September 27, 2007 2:30AM

Here are my 1984 cards. Nothing great in this one, but I do think I got 4 or 5 Danny Whites from my packs.

edwin5375 · September 27, 2007 2:37AM

Once I opened my 1985 pack, I knew it was over before it even started.
All of the cards were warped like there had been water damage or something like that.
Hopefully it was just a freak thing and I was the only one with this problem.
I did scan the cards anyway.

edwin5375 · September 27, 2007 2:42AM

Nothing worth grading in my 1986 pack, but the scans are below.

That was a whole lot of fun and well worth the money! I will be participating next time. Thanks to Chris again for making this happen!

mcolney1 · September 27, 2007 2:46AM

Too bad about the 86 Payton 1000 yarder Edwin. Same thing with my pack. Anyway they can be cleaned up?

ldferg · September 27, 2007 4:48AM

keep the scans coming.

edwin, that 84 darrin nelson is a beast to find without the print defects.

Stingray · September 27, 2007 5:34AM

Edwin, you have your 82s and 83s backwards.

Thanks for all the scans, though. I really hate how Topps took alot of their photos of players just standing on the sidelines or sitting on the bench. Love the Murry card from 84, makes it look like he was a quarterback.

jimq112 · September 27, 2007 5:40AM

<< Too bad about the 86 Payton 1000 yarder Edwin. Same thing with my pack. Anyway they can be cleaned up? >>

Mine too, same card, stuck to another one. I tried freezing mine overnite, no luck.

Leiascards · September 27, 2007 5:55AM

If you wanna move that 86 Billy Sims let me know

mknez · September 27, 2007 6:42AM

OK, finally finished my rip, Here are the 82's. Decent LT and Bradshaw action cards, and a 49ers foils sticker

1982 #1

1982 #2

1982 #3

mknez · September 27, 2007 6:45AM

83 pack - quite a few All-Pro cards, including Dorsett and a Dorsett sticker.

1983 #1

1983 #2

1983 #3

mknez · September 27, 2007 6:50AM

1984 #1

1984 #2

1984 #3

Marino

mknez · September 27, 2007 6:52AM

1985 #1

1985 #2

1985 #3

mknez · September 27, 2007 6:56AM

1986 - Last pack. Always been one of my favorites. C'mon Jerry Rice! Oh well - Instead, Bavaro & Buster Rhymes!

1986 #1

1986 #2

1986 #3

mknez · September 27, 2007 6:58AM

This was fun. I seemed to get a lot of Bengals for some reason. Count me in for some future rips.

I'll respond to those who pm'ed me for trades. LMK if you are interested in any of mine, I'm planning on submitting some, but most will be available for trade. Mostly interested in Cleveland Browns.

Mike

ldferg · September 27, 2007 7:25AM

this makes you appreciate the 85s that pull a 10.

ping4u43 · September 27, 2007 7:37AM

I still don't have mine

ArnyVee · September 27, 2007 10:16AM

Nothing here yet.

I can't wait!

Leiascards · September 27, 2007 11:25AM

If any other Billy Sims cards are pulled I am interested in them as well.

fandango · September 27, 2007 9:30PM

anythng yet ARNY? we are waiting

ChrisC · September 28, 2007 1:19AM

Guys,

Steve has not received payment from one of our members and I have tried to reach out to him with no luck, so 1 more lot is available if anyone is interested in it. Let me know!

Chris

ChrisC · September 28, 2007 1:27AM

Last lot is now gone.

baseballfan · September 28, 2007 2:00AM

that was quick!!!!!!!!!

ping4u43 · September 28, 2007 7:01AM

<< I still don't have mine

>>

Finally have packs to rip. UPS left package on my neighbors doorstep and they are not a home. Got trac # from Steve today and it showed as delivered, left on porch just on worng porch. Will rip later and adivse of results

ping4u43 · September 28, 2007 8:17AM

Purchased 2 Lorts First Lot produced a Elway RC has wax on back & Awesome Earl Campbell RC. Most all of the 85 commons should grade a 9 maybe a couple Tens.

2nd Lot Had Montana RC. So all and all not to bad. Not what Shouldbeen had hoped I would get. Scans Later

gregm13 · September 28, 2007 9:55AM

I'm interested in buying any Dolphins that you pull. Let me know.

Greg M.

jradke4 · September 28, 2007 10:10AM

If anyone gets a 77 Lynn Dickey please let me know.

ArnyVee · September 28, 2007 10:25AM

Got my packs....and was dissapointed.

If these didn't come straight from Steve, I wouldn't believe it. The '77 pack was completely open and had absolutely nothing in it. Lots of damage in the '85 Topps pack with the gum basically indenting itself into one card and inflitrating the next.

1976 - "Mean" Joe Greene (possible PSA 9)
1977 - Nothing (checklist card was best card in pack)

1978 - Gene Upshaw & Ed "Too Tall" Jones both badly OC

1979 - Sipe, R.Rhodes & S.Grogan were the best cards...tell you anything?

1980 - Nothing ... not even a checklist card.

1981 - Wesley Walker was the best card and nearly all had corner dings

1982 - Joe Montana IA OC & Passing Leaders (possible PSA 8)
1983 - Theismann passing leaders card was best one

1984 - Curt Warner OC was best card

1985 - Super Bowl & AFC Championship cards were the best ones

1986 - Dan Marino (possible PSA 8, but corner ding)

.....I hope the rest of you end up with great cards! Good luck guys!

very interesting arny.....

i got to give you credit Arny, you have been burned before on these group rips and you keep coming back for more....

ArnyVee · September 29, 2007 10:08PM

<< very interesting arny.....

Well, I have gotten some nice hits from the rips too. I pulled a Darrel Green rookie from one of the football rips that graded a 10 and sold it for over $200 which made up the costs and more of that rip, also pulled a Ron Guidry '84 Donruss which graded a 10 and saved me about $40-50 which the card was going for at the time. I've got a couple going to PSA now that have shots at solid 9s maybe a 10 here and there from other pulls as well.

But, it sure seems to be either hit or bigtime miss with me on the rips!

Leiascards · September 29, 2007 11:23PM

That is the nature of single packs. It is a shot in the dark to really pull any key cards. Look at the results most packs yield very little. My hope on this one is the 86 Marino pulls a 10.

ArnyVee · September 29, 2007 11:30PM

The lone card from this rip that I'm submitting is the "Mean" Joe Greene. Even though it's not a bigtime value card, I can trade it for some stuff that I need, I'm sure.

FavreFan1971 · October 2, 2007 9:45PM

Hi guys, got my cards last night. I taped the rip with my 5 year old. She had a blast. I will try and convert it to put it up on Youtube.

As for star cards. I got a bunch of HOF from the 1986 pack (no Rice or Young) and then crap the rest of the way. The best card I got was a 1979 Passing leader with Staubach and Bradshaw. I did get a few Packer cards, three in my 1986 pack alone. Lofton, Lofton 1000 yd club and Lynn Dickey.

If I can't convert the tape to Mpeg or something I will scan them in..

All of my cards are up for trade for Packer Cards.

Troy

ChrisC · October 2, 2007 10:53PM

FarveFan - PM me your address and I will send my Packer cards to you when I get a chance.

Gabbs · October 2, 2007 11:27PM

Troy,

That Staubach, Bradshaw leader card is one of my all time favorite football cards.

2 of the all time best on 1 card

Also in the 79 set is a leader card with Payton and Earl Campbell, also a very cool card!!

Gabbs

jimq112 · October 4, 2007 1:40AM

Is there enough demand for this card to make it worth sending? There's already 65 9s and 7 10s. I'd like to think it has a shot for at least a 9.

Leiascards · October 4, 2007 1:57AM

I would sub it on the chance of a 10. Those 85s in 10s are always in demand.

ArnyVee · October 4, 2007 7:33AM

I'll tell you, it's REALLY tough to get a 10 on these things! I sent in four cards that I thought had shots at 10s (well three of the four did, but included an Elway that was 8/9ish) and none of them came back as 10s. Might not be worth it unless you are positive about it.

FavreFan1971 · October 4, 2007 11:25PM

Anyone want my wrappers? Well, except for Gary? I will trade you your Packer cards for my wrappers. PM me

smtjoy · October 12, 2007 6:20AM

Man quick turnaround, well my 12 cards poped from the rip. Since I do little modern, not sure how to even gauge this. Other than one card which I can not see how I got an OC on it, ill try and post a pic tomorrow so you all can judge. I will probably keep the steelers and put the other 10 on ebay this week to find out, feel free to make me an offer too. While I dont think I did well financialy I sure had fun with this. I still have all the other raw cards if anyone is interested in them.

alifaxwa2 · October 13, 2007 11:10PM

I got two TTM autos back yesterday from cards from this rip.
The Largent I pulled myself. Unfortunately, it sustained a big gash while going through the mail.

The Lipps I got from YankeeeFan's rip. I gave him my Packers for his Redskins/Steelers including the Lipps.
