The 78's were brutal, no need to scan. Bench, Rose, and Ryan / Niekro Stikeout Leaders were the cream of the crop of the first 5 packs and they are OC. The 77 OPC Ryan has 2 rough-cut edges, one corner slightly touched. Looks like a Strong 7 or Lucky 8.
Received my packs today, 1 75 mini and 4 84 Donruss. Ripped them here at parent-teacher conferences. Nothing earthshattering, a couple of nice 75s and six well-centered 84s, but no low pops. I will post scans when I get home.
I received my packs today. 3 1978 Baseball, 3 1978 Football, and 3 1983 Football. I decided to keep one of each unopened and ripped the remaining two of each. Nothing too exciting and nothing screaming to be submitted, but we need some more scans, so here are the highlights:
Busted 3 of the 6 mini packs and have a few super gems in here. I'll bust the rest of the mini's and 86 FB tomorrow. The 3 packs of 78 BB had nothing earth shaking
Sorry guys, scanner/printer is not talking to my laptop. It will probably be tomorrow before I get it resolved. Here's what you can look forward to once I get it fixed.

I am going to do a local pickup from Steve on Friday. I am pretty excited to start ripping. Whatother cheap boxes should I pick up from him while I am there. I am looking to spend $50 or less per box. Last time I was there I got a box of 87 topps football and a box of 89 fleer baseball. I am looking for something that has some nice rookies and cards that I could have a shot at sending in for subing. Can anyone recomend anything that falls into that criteria?
Got my (3) Mini packs today! No real stars to speak of. One pack was REALLY bad centering top to bottom along with some factory damage on both side edges of the cards. The other two had decent centering and edges. I'll post scans of the good ones when I get home from work. I should have a decent hand full to sub. Fun rip!
I got in late, so only picked up 2 packs of 78 Topps baseball. Opened them today and best card was a Cecil Cooper. Most were oc and a couple had some dings to the sides. One pack had 13 cards and the other one had 14. The one that had 14 was only about half sealed, but didn't look like anything amiss to me. How many cards are the 78 packs supposed to have anyway... just curious??
Here are a few of my better cards. Alot of Steelers in the 83's, but they were mostly OC. The Dorsett was by far the nicest card and the Bears team card seams to be a low pop. Elway and Montana were back to back in the pack. Split my order with a friend and have not received his results from him yet.
Got mine today....the 1975 mini pack has Mike Schmidt on the bottom, which is nice because I am keeping it for my pack collection. I'll rip some of the other packs later, if I can hold off that long.
Where are everybodys scans? Steve told me today he shipped out everyones package on Monday? I will begin ripping later tonight. I also picked up a box of 88 Topps FB Celo. On the back of one of the packs is a Vinny Testiverde RC. I also picked up a box of 91 Fleer Ultra FB. As soon as my wife goes to bed I will start ripping!
Okay, I just bought 2 of the '75 Minis and 3 of the '83 FB Cellos. The '83s were all badly o/c but it was a fun rip nonetheless. The Minis, on the other hand, were surprisingly centered, sharp, and vibrant compared to my past experiences with them. No real star cards in either pack though.
So what are the cards to look for other then the Don Matingly rc out of the 84 Donruss? Is anything that has a chance to get a PSA 10 worth grading out of the 84?

Joe Carter RC.

I just finished opening all my packs and all I can say is on my last pack I opened, I hit the mother load. I usualy don't have very good luck when it comes to riping packs and I finally pulled a card I was really hopeing to get. It is to late to start scanning everything, so I will leave everyone hanging I was kind of disapointed with the rip until the very last pack I opened. The funny thing is the only reason I opened it and didn't put the pack in my collection was because I was moaning about others not scanning their cards. I will give you a clue of what I got in that single pack. I pulled 4 huge HOFer's and one of them happens to be a RC out of the one pack. If you can guess the pack and the 5 players I am speaking about I will give you the pack. You only get one guess and I will only except the first 10 guesses. This should be interesting what people will come up with
Here are my scans. I didn't get anything from the 78 FB and I got an OC Ryne Sandberg from the 84 Donruss. I have never seen so many Bernie Kosars from one box. I pulled all the 75's from one pack. The other pack didn't have anything to get excited about.
The bottom right corner of the Brett apears to be soft in the scan. There also apears to be a white dot on the botom right from the scan. It does not look like that way in person.
Wow nice pull on the Brett. That Marino looks pretty good too. Anyone pulled a Rice or Young out of the football yet. The centering seems to be pretty good on the 86 box.
Did anyone get anything out of the 78 FB yet to speak of? Also, did anyone else have gum in theirs? I found it odd that mine had no gum and had wrinkles on virtually every card in the pack.

All three packs I purchased had gum in them. I opened two of the packs. In one, the surface of the cards was essentially flawless. In the other however, most of the cards had slight surface wrinkles on the surface. I would guess that they are moisture/humidity induced, though the cards did not stick together at all.

With 27 HOFers and 11 rookie cards there are almost 200,000 different combinations posters could guess. Pretty safe to say you will keep the pack.

Didn't get any 78's but did have an 86 football pack with half a piece of gum in it.
