Cut card cases - PHOTOS ADDED, BURN BABY BURN!!

lsutigers1973 · December 28, 2008 2:55AM

I know this topic has been discussed before, but was wondering if anyone other than ldferg has purchased any. From previous responses, it appears many have considered buying one but never actually have. I and another forum user have split the cost of two 1981 Topps baseball cases (case C) looking for the ever elusive PSA 10 Reggie.

the reggie was sold in the last 2 weeks on ebay. seems like it was around $500. i thought the first one would yield a higher hammer price.

good luck and keep us updated.

Bought two of the 1981 Topps baseball cut card cases (case C). If anyone is thinking of buying any from Dacardworld, please pass on the idea. I am going blind digging through the same 130-140 cards over and over and over and over and over again. Centering on one case is horrific throughout. The other case has slightly better centering but lots of dinged corners. My eyes have now crossed and I no longer have any idea what a MC or OC card looks like.

That Orr is one of my favorite cards.

They're actually stacked three rows high and three rows across. They run just as if they're from vending. Oddly, I've broken more than my share of cut card and vending cases, and I've seen cases labeled a a specific sheet be mispackaged with one or two other sheets in the run (typically each layer being another sheet).

Also, I've seen cases that have some bulk player runs (20-30 of the same player in consecutive order) and also have seen some cards from subsequent years (an '81 case with about 20 cards from '82 and a single card from '83)...

lsu,
sorry to hear about this. i had my fingers crossed for you. i haven't yielded a 10 yet from my case (several 9s). i was hit/miss on the centering. my corner wear was not bad at all. also, the case i was sent had a mixture of two sheets.

So what do you do with over 17000 cards from 1981 Topps when you have an extra 125 of each card?

Ugh, that's just wrong, dude.

Today was a no burn day. That'll be a $25 fine. Or are those just in CA. ?

VitoCo1972 · January 13, 2009 4:50AM

Money well spent!

um, can i get a refund

did you burn all the PSA 10 Reggies too?????

Stingray · January 13, 2009 6:59AM

Did you get a permit to burn that??

jmoran19 · January 13, 2009 7:17AM

Damn, I was looking for a couple hundred 81 Oscar Gambles

bman90278 · January 13, 2009 7:19AM

If you really burned them Bill, that's too bad. I know we have several Children's hospitals with young boys who would love some baseball cards. Either way, I don't hold anything against you.

I am so offended by this thread that I'm quitting the hobby.

Can't take the heat, eh?

Total amount of cards from two cases was 17300. The ones burned today totalled about 2000 with another box ready to depart with a total of about 5000 cards. Still have about 10000 or so that I just could not add to the burn pile because they weren't too bad.

Anyone that would like a large batch of the extras to donate to a children's hospital or something similar, fell free to PM me your address.

Bill I don't know about 81 Topps but if you have any unwanted Jeters, Mantles, Arods or Jordans lying around my sick and dying dog would love to use them to sleep on and keep her company when I am at work. If you see similar cards on ebay it will be just a coincedence.

Burn baby burn. I wish everyone would continue the carnage and do this hobby a favor by burning all their late '80's cards as well.

I put a 5000 count box of 89 fleer to rest, and recycled two sets of Nolan Ryan pacific cards. I did my part.

I agree that more people need to destroy some worthless cards.

summerof68 · January 13, 2009 2:17PM

Glad to hear it SS member...and '89 fleer is a great candidate for the furnace. In my travels I talk alot with card shop owners and they all say the same thing in that they are tired of people bringing in boxes of late 80's junk and wanting them to waste their time looking through them. 1986 thru 1991 baseball---just burn it all. Come to think of it since Clemens and Mcgwire both turned out to be cheaters and liars why not burn 1985 as well....

Just this morning I thought to myself, "self, you need to build an '81T bb set."
