So I take it that the 81 cut card case didn't turn out so well?
<< <i>So I take it that the 81 cut card case didn't turn out so well? >>
No, that's why I bought 2

Were they both crappy?

One box was completely worthless. All the HOF'ers were OC and the low pop commons had dinged corners. One case was pristine. I will be submitting approximately 15 each of Ken Oberkfells (Cardinals, not Braves) and some other guy who's name I have now forgotten but has a PSA 10 pop of zero.

And when you get 7 PSA 10's of each, what do you think they will sell for as a pop 7?
Edited to add: I had a similar thing happen with a Brett issue that was pop 0 in PSA 10. I sent 3 that had a fair chance, and when the sub popped the first one i checked was a PSA 9, the second one I checked was a PSA 10, and before squeezing the third one I was hoping it was NOT a PSA 10. Luckily it was a PSA 9, which kept the Brett as a pop 1. I sold the pop 1 for $515, and I truly believe the buyer would not have paid anywhere near that for a pop 2.

Nick loves the set collectors.

Sell them as a lot to some fool that thinks they are worth $50 a piece. When the other 8 come back as 9's, I am going to start a thread about how I got screwed on some sweet 1981 Topps Oberkfells.

Before the match --- I'll take any condition Gary Carter's if you want tp dig through the lot

I would limit the test size to the best 3 (maybe4) you have after heavy unbiased scrutiny. Read the edit I put in my post above.

No Carter's in Case C.

Mike, you should have said it this way.....
You will send me all of your Gary Carter cards before you do anything.

If I knew how I would. Just going to do a Rubesque lighting similar to his Johnny Bench photo sacrifice.

Here's how you blow $100 at Kmart

<< <i> The Goudey were horrible. Loved the Bowman Chrome. Got a JR Towles GUd jersey card and an Eric Eiland Xfractor. >>
Thanks for the info Bill. That's kinda what I should have bought yesterday. I'm heading out right now.
Brian
<< <i> Lucky people with your bankruptcy ridden discount stores. I wish I had one locally. >>
You aren't kidding. In the same shopping center as our Kmart are closed stores from Linens and Things, Levitz Furniture, and Wickes Furniture.

pretty happy with all the SPs though
I just drove through near blizzard conditions 25 miles to the nearest K Mart to see if they had anything. Lo and behold, I got these:
All are new to me, but thought it'd be fun. I was hoping for some bowman chrome and some football cards, but the kmart I went to was loaded with Goudey and Upper Deck 2 baseball. There was also a boatload of 08 O-Pee-Chee hockey but that's never been my thing. A few basketball, but no football, which aside from Heritage, is the only thing I buy anymore. I'll probably crack a few and save a few boxes, through some up on my shelf with my other worthless stuff.
Besides the obvious autos you never seem to get in retail boxes, except for Nam's miraculous score a couple months back, what should I be looking for?

<< <i>Do KMarts carry the Topps 2008 Factory Set? It would be nice to pick that up for half price. >>
I only saw retail blasters on sale at the one I was at.
Anyone's Kmart have any football?
<< <i>Anyone's Kmart have any football? >>
Mine had football but they were not on sale. They only had the same boxes you posted and the hockey. I almost broke down and bought a hockey box since they were 50% off.

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.
<< <i>DAMMIT GUYS! I don't even collect new stuff ... but I think that I'll take a 20 minute drive to the closet KMART in a little while and see what they have. What are you guys doing to me??????? >>
I GUESS KMART DID NOT TELL THE STORE ON LONG ISLAND THAT THEY WERE ON SALE. HOWEVER, NO BIGGIE, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE TOO MUCH TO SELL ANYWAY! ALL JUNK AND HIGH PRICES.
SOOOOO ... I SPENT AN HOUR ... TOOK A NICE LITTLE RIDE ... AND CAME HOME WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY IN MY POCKET THAT I HAD WHEN I LEFT IN SEARCH OF MY CARDBOARD GOLD!

That's awesome driving 25 miles in blizzard conditions 25 miles just for cards. I guess I need to throw on some thongs and a t-shirt to go with my swimming trunks and take another looksy at Kmart....I live a mile from the beach and it's 87 and sunny out.

It's just a tad cooler here in Chicagoland today... high of 12 and tomorrow a nice and warm high of -2 (I can't wait)
...but there's a Kmart on my way home... I haven't opened a pack of any kind in 20 years, today might break that streak.

Thanks for pushing the sub 0 temps into Chicago... I always knew you Cheeseheads were good for something! I for one can't wait for -2 tomorrow.

Yuk. I'm just a little south of you down here in Indy, it's only suppose to get 6 here tomorrow. I should quit complaining.

Is there an emoticon thingy where you can flip the guy the bird??

there's always ,,|,,(-_-),,|,,
(hopefully there's not a board rule about ASCII bird-flipping)
I feel for you all.
(how'd I do? I have no, zero, nada clue what's good in the modern market)
<< <i>My first packs in 20 years!!!
(how'd I do? I have no, zero, nada clue what's good in the modern market) >>
I alluded to the same thing in my initial post to this thread. I'm opening packs and don't have a clue what's good and what isn't.
Love the Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome, always some of my favorites in the past, but my Kmart didn't have either of those brands. Of course, I couldn't resist the "sale" and bought 8 boxes of other stuff anyway.
In my first box, I got a Torii Hunter GU card, which, although I don't buy many boxes these days, makes the 32nd box in a row I've purchased that has a Torii Hunter GU card.

<< <i>I just went to my local K-Mart and they said that they are no longer going to carry trading cards and that they "were shipped back"...whatever that means. It took me 45 minutes to go 8 miles in this blizzard too! Anybody in the Plainfield, Illinois area? I would love to get as many OPC hockey boxes as possible. >>
I haven't followed hockey in a while. Is there anything special in the 2008 OPC hockey? I thought it was just a basic set like normal Topps hockey used to be.
