Next up a 1979 OPC hockey GAI 9 pack. I got this pack for $186.

mickeymantle24 · January 20, 2009 9:50AM

Good Luck! can not wait to see what you get

fergie23 · January 20, 2009 9:56AM

The corner folds look good. Time to see what is inside.

jswieton · January 20, 2009 10:10AM

good luck

fergie23 · January 20, 2009 10:14AM

Sadly no Gretzky. Sooner or later one of these rips will hit a big rookie.
Next on the docket will be some Topps Heritage boxes (2001-2007). I've got 3 ungraded packs of 86-87 Fleer basketball & 3 packs of ungraded 79 Topps Hockey on the way from BBCE so those will get mixed in over the next couple of weeks as well. I also have a 79 Topps hockey box on the way but I am hoping I don't succumb to the temptation to open it.

Opening the two packs from the 1972 OPC group rip.

Well as everyone else found out gum ruined 5 of the cards in each pack. But with vintage packs 95% of the cards are worthless anyways so the gum damage did not deter me.

The good...

It's sad to see the damaged Catfish, Palmer and Weaver cards,but I'm glad to see you got a few keepers.

thanks for sharing

fattymacs · January 21, 2009 3:39AM

Not too bad, the Aparicio IA card looks pretty nice

Mickey Rivers was a riot. I used to love watching him.

Hard to tell whats submittable with the white background.

fergie23 · January 21, 2009 8:57AM

So figured I would post a picture of the boxes and packs to be ripped that are currently in my possession. It is a challenge not to just open it all at once. I can always get more, right?

Robb

SidePocket · January 21, 2009 9:03AM

Do the basketball first!

HeritageAddict · January 21, 2009 9:06AM

Very fun thread. I can't wait to see the heritage, I still have quite a few holes to fill in a few of those set.

julen23 · January 21, 2009 9:42AM

super thread.

nice clemente also.

CDsNuts · January 21, 2009 10:18AM

It's funny- I'm watching these rips as though I have some kind of vested financial interest in them. Strange.

Anywho, pull some great cards.

Haha I was just thinking the same thing. Is it weird to get nervous for someone else opening packs??

Nice!! Can you tell what series the 70/71 basketball pack is?

Morgoth · January 22, 2009 4:25AM

Awesome Clemente, that card is pretty tough and yours is centered better than most. I have a PSA 9 OC. If only it was a 71 OPC Clemente.......

fergie23 · January 22, 2009 5:26AM

The 70/71 basketball pack is series two.

Robb

fergie23 · January 22, 2009 10:27AM

Gonna rip the 2001 Upper Deck SP Golf box that I purchased as part of the group rip. Box was $175. Also will be opening a 2008 Goudey box I got for $75 from my local card shop. The Goudey box was a little pricey but unfortunately I tend to buy what I want regardless of price.

Robb

fergie23 · January 22, 2009 10:41AM

No Tiger but still some decent cards.

Now onto the Goudey.

Hey, Harrington has won 3 majors and 2 in a row going into the Masters. It's a darn good pull.

joestalin · January 22, 2009 11:03AM

Holy crap, what a nice lot of heritage..dang man, where that been hiding out?

Kevin

fergie23 · January 22, 2009 11:09AM

The 2008 Goudey was pretty much a bust but it was fun to open.

lsutigers1973 · January 22, 2009 11:13AM

Aaron Harang?

Makes you wonder why card companies waste their money signing certain players to contracts just to sign worthless cards.

cwazzy · January 22, 2009 11:58AM

<< Aaron Harang?

The same reason some teams waste their money signing certain players (see Eric Gagne or Carl Pavano): It sounded like a good idea at the time and they had to have a body fill the roster/checklist.

Aaron "the Harangutan" Harang is highly underrated. I hate it when he pitches against the Brewers.

Sadly, that doesn't always translate into hobby interest/value.

jeffcbay · January 22, 2009 2:17PM

Does the back of the signed Goudey have a hologram? I'm always scared that I'll skip pask a signed card, because I leaf through them too fast. Could you scan the back?

gumbyfan · January 22, 2009 2:58PM

I don't believe there's a hologram on the back of the autos. There's a different card number on the back (which is how I found one of my auto's...Marlon Byrd signed in blue over a blue part of the card, could barely see it!). I believe it also has the usual COA language on the back if I recall correctly.

BigRedMachine · January 22, 2009 9:18PM

Reds fan here will gladly make you an offer on the Harang. PM me if interested.

The Reds haven't finished over .500 in a few years, it doesn't take much of an auto to spike my interest I guess.

Good luck on the rest of the boxes, great stuff.

Thank you, I will re-check my stack!

fergie23 · January 23, 2009 7:51AM

Got my package from BBCE. I will be opening one of the 1986 Fleer basketball and one of the 1979 Topps hockey packs. Paid $270 for the basketball and $52 for the hockey, don't ask what the 79 box cost

Bosox1976 · January 23, 2009 7:57AM

To paraphrase Mike D. --- 6 stacks of high society.

HeritageAddict · January 23, 2009 8:00AM

Some more great looking wax, can't wait to see the cards.

fergie23 · January 23, 2009 8:02AM

Not a bad pack centering wise but no star power whatsoever. Hopefully the other 2 packs are centered as nicely. I think 10 of these will be submitted under the $5 special several legit shots at 10s.

No idea why I keep buying 79 hockey. Complete waste, there is only one card worth pulling. I think the last two packs will be the end of 79 Topps hockey for me.
Nothing of note card wise in the pack.

If you don't mind me asking where did you buy the 2 OPC hockey boxes and what did you pay for them. I would LOVE to own them some day.
