2007 Bowman Chrome football box was a bust. The Stanton is Xfractor 084/250. Purchased the box for $45 from my local card store.
Now onto the 1986-87 Fleer basketball packs. One has an Olajuwon sticker on the back and the other has a Kareem sticker. I will open the Akeem pack first, the card showing through the front has better centering than the Kareem pack.
Obviously very happy with this pack. The best part is I have another waiting to be opened (plus a GAI graded one but that is easier to leave unopened since I need scissors to get at it).
I am now going to open the 2006 Heritage baseball box. I will be subbing the Olajuwon, Gus Williams, Laimbeer and Jordan. Will probably send the Jordan in under the 5 day $14 special.
Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Second 1986 Fleer pack didn't have quite the star power of the first. Centering was a tad better but not great. Pack was purchased from BBCE for $270. Sadly the Kareem sticker is way OC, that may be one of the cards I will have to buy in PSA 9 for my set.

No way this pack could live up to the last one. I will be subbing the P Cummings, T Cummings, Paxson, Perkins, Dantley, Davis, and Thompson. I think all have a good shot at PSA 9 several of which I need for my self submitted set.
I think I will close things out with the 2008 Playoff Contenders box and save the 1998 Contenders box for next week.
if it only gets an 8 and you want to sell it let me know, i would be interested.

collecting RAW Topps baseball cards 1952 Highs to 1972. looking for collector grade (somewhere between psa 4-7 condition). let me know what you have, I'll take it, I want to finish sets, I must have something you can use for trade.
looking for Topps 71-72 hi's-62-53-54-55-59, I have these sets started
Well next up a 1970-71 Topps basketball series two pack graded GAI 7. I bought the pack off ebay for $450, probably a little on the expensive side but I didn't have any comparable sales.
Sadly neither of the two big name rookies but a fun rip nevertheless. Corner folds and seal look good to me. The Haskins is pretty sharp and will be subbed.

Damn sweet pull on the Jordan with nice centering!!
Gretzky is a tuff one with more cards in the set, I still haven't pulled one either.
Congrats on the Jordan!
Sadly the Kareem sticker is way OC, that may be one of the cards I will have to buy in PSA 9 for my set.

Congats on the Jordan and other pulls. Very sweet.
The itch to rip is spreading like chicken pox...

Cant wait for this one!
That's a vintage RIP
What kind of Ultra Pro holders do you put these cards in?
