Box Break - four 1983 Topps & two 1989 UD

I went back and purchased four more boxes of 1983 Topps and two more boxes of 1989 Upper Deck after the last group break. I don't know what it is about busting 1980's wax, but it was a lot of fun. The highlights:

6 Wade Boggs rookies
5 Ryne Sandberg rookies
3 Tony Gywnn rookies
2 Ken Griffey Jr Rookies
1 Randy Johnson rookie

All are extremely sharp but the centering is all over the place. The highlight of the break was the last box of 1983's. I pulled two Gwynns, two Boggs and one Sandberg in that box. There was actually a pack with a Gwynn rookie and a Sandberg rookie in the same pack. The was really cool to open.

The scans are pretty low quality. The edges of the cards look fuzzy and distorted but they are all sharp.

  • Look like all Gwynn cards (oc)

    Rose are very nice center maybe 9 or 10? your scan is bad

    2 of ryno cards (oc) other looks good maybe 8 or higher?

    4 of Boggs cards (oc) other looks good.

    1989 UD look like 9 or 10?

    Thank you for talking me out of ripping any 1983 Topps boxes. I would have been bummed with the OCs. You still had power in numbers though, and got SOME nice ones! The UD looks really nice, but I got burned by '89 UD once, and I'll never go back. Thanks for sharing the results!
  • Nice pick up!
