Unopened Rips - Jordan RC review bump

fergie23 · January 3, 2009 7:32AM

So I decided to consolidate my card rips to one thread. I buy a fair amount of unopened product and I will post my rips and then any PSA card submission results.

1971 Topps baseball series one pack GAI graded. Got this for $375 plus shipping.

Nice...

bman90278 · January 3, 2009 7:38AM

Robb, thanks for sharing this with us. I truly hope you get some great cards. How bout a PSA 9 Munson or a Garvey card....Lots of others too!

fergie23 · January 3, 2009 7:46AM

Sadly no big hits...but I think I might be addicted. Very fun pack to open. Don't think any of the cards are better than an 8 but for $5 a piece with the current PSA special I will find out.

some nice cards.

was it worth busting open a $375 pack now that you know what was in it?

jmoran19 · January 3, 2009 8:03AM

Thanks for posting, John

P.S. Pack was legit

It's hard to see from the scans, but maybe he might get lucky and get a 8.5 grade on one of them. That would certainly help him a bunch.

Stingray · January 3, 2009 8:14AM

Cool rip!! Might be able to score some nice grades on the ones in the first scan.

baseballfan · January 3, 2009 8:19AM

cool what's next????

fergie23 · January 3, 2009 8:39AM

What's next...I have a 1971 Topps Football pack gai graded. A box of 2008 Topps Heritage baseball, a box of 2008 SPX football and a box of 2006 Playoff Contenders football (got the three boxes from my local card shop today for a little over $300 could have gotten them cheaper online but I'm an instant gratification kind of guy). I also have 2 gai graded 1986-87 Fleer basketball packs on the way.

I'll rip the football tomorrow during the games.

The 71 baseball rip was definitely worth it. I'll be looking for more packs.

Cool thread - I'd be interested in seeing some vintage PSA slabbed packs busted.

Dynamite -- thanks for sharing it.

Mphilking · January 3, 2009 12:12PM

You are the man! Best of luck with future rips.

rlankhaar · January 3, 2009 3:16PM

Awesome...but I'm happy to live vicariously on this one.

Good luck!

FYI, the 71 football pack should have 8 cards plus a game card and a poster, John

COALPORTER · January 4, 2009 8:07AM

WOW ! Wish I would have saved a few packs. I remember opening those faster than Grant took Richmond !!

julen23 · January 4, 2009 8:49AM

you've got big ones...

thanks for sharing

ldferg · January 4, 2009 9:14AM

great stuff. where is the football???

CDsNuts · January 4, 2009 9:27AM

fergie- Have you ever ripped any 86-87 Fleer basketball? I hear that's a fun one.

fergie23 · January 4, 2009 9:46AM

I might have ripped a pack or two of 86-87 basketball over the years...

Robb

fergie23 · January 4, 2009 10:06AM

2006 Playoff Contenders was hoping for a Cutler. Unfortunately no dice. The Hester probably would have a been a hotter card last year but with his transition to a wide receiver his return game has suffered dramatically. I've bought a couple boxes of this and really I should just buy the star rookies off ebay at this point would undoubtedly save me some $$s.

Edited to add Hester grade:

2008 Topps Heritage box. Hoping for an autograph but unfortunately that didn't happen. I liked the 2001 Heritage much better but the odds of pulling an auto are too low to justify the price I see out there for boxes. Might do it just for nostalgia stake. I wish I had known about SPs and stuff before I threw those 2001 cards away. First one to PM me gets all the singles, save for the scanned cards, from the 2008 Heritage box. I threw away some that had really bent corners so about 150 cards or so overall.

fergie23 · January 4, 2009 10:25AM

2008 Heritage cards are history.

Now on to 2008 SPX football. This was the priciest box and it was a total dud unfortunately.

fergie23 · January 4, 2009 10:31AM

nightcrawler · January 4, 2009 10:44AM

Awesome thread

daddymc · January 4, 2009 10:48AM

Bummer on the SPX, I was hoping you'd get a big pull there. The Contenders are tough too. I broke two 2007 boxes a couple weeks ago and the only one worth mentioning was Tyler Thigpen.

fergie23 · January 4, 2009 10:53AM

Thanks. I will try and post all my rips. With a thread of my own I am much more likely to put in the effort to scan rips that go poorly.

I am going to save the 71 fb pack for tomorrow.

Robb

bman90278 · January 4, 2009 10:55AM

Enjoying the rips. Good luck to you on the next ones Robb.

fergie23 · January 5, 2009 7:39AM

Well I got my two 1986 Fleer basketball packs in the mail today (paid $409 plus shipping for them). Unfortunately for one of the packs the top card is visible and is Sedale Threatt so I basically know what is in that pack. I will open the other pack (with Olajuwon sticker) today and save the Threatt pack for some day when I feel like burning $200.

I will scan in 4 cards at a time from the sticker up.

fergie23 · January 5, 2009 7:45AM

Out of the GAI holder.

Gonblott · January 5, 2009 7:46AM

Star power but the centering is not so hot.

Nice Malone as well! Thats a great pack! I appreciate you sharing the rip. Awesome!

Gonblott · January 5, 2009 8:05AM

Overall very happy with this pack. The centering was an issue but that is common for 86 Fleer. Pretty much the second best pack, star power wise, you can get from an 86 Fleer rip.

I think most of the cards are PSA 8s but for $5 a card I will find out what PSA thinks with 6 or 7 of them.

I will do the 71 Football pack some time later this week.

leathtech · January 5, 2009 8:53AM

thanks for posting... I would love to open a 86 fleer pack!

slantycouch · January 5, 2009 9:04AM

Thanks for sharing. Love rips like this.

BPorter26 · January 5, 2009 9:24AM

Thanks for sharing, Great rip. BTW nice Karl Malone it could be a 9 or better from the look of the scan.

corvette1340 · January 5, 2009 9:33AM

you sir, are my hero. I'm gonna do a thread like this when I finally buy a '71 Topps rack or ever find some '60's unopened stuff that I know is legit.

Mphilking · January 5, 2009 9:46AM
