Jswieton's wax rip

jswieton · February 12, 2009 11:50AM

I wound up bidding on eBay and winning all of the items from BBCE. I actually got some pretty sick deals. I will be ripping most of it over the next couple of weeks and I will scan and post as I go. The highlight of the rip will be the 5 vending boxes of 1985 Topps baseball. The second and third group of pics are from the group that I purchased from BBCE on 3-19-09 for a bday gift to myself!

Whatcha looking for in all that ripping?

mmsportscards · February 12, 2009 11:59AM

Oh no not a sportsflics sighting!!!!!!!!

CrimsonTider · February 12, 2009 12:00PM

I saw on the BST board where you were looking for MJ cards, well consider some on your way. I've got some that are sweet and I almost sent them in on the group sub

TheThrill22 · February 12, 2009 12:01PM

1992 Topps baseball rocks!

CrimsonTider · February 12, 2009 12:03PM

Someone told me that the 1992 topps Mitch Williams is now available in a psa 10

Thanks a lot!! Have you reicived the Dale's yet? I actualy found a bunch more that I sent. I think you will be pretty happy with them.

A cheap fix for my addiction. I have no self control and this will keep me busy for some time. I am actually just trying to build some sets and pull some key psa 9's and 10's from a few of them. If anyone collects any HOF'ers from any of these years just let me know any I will send you my dups.

MeteoriteGuy · February 12, 2009 12:12PM

Nice. Good luck with the pulls.

<< I received my bonus last week and I thought it would only be fair to treat myself a little. I wound up bidding on eBay and winning all of the items from BBCE.

The highlight of the rip will be the 5 vending boxes of 1985 Topps baseball. Before anyone says anything, there won't be any “no number” Favre RC’s coming out of any of these boxes

. I learned my lesson last time, I'm sorry about that.

That looks like fun!Good luck,

Your table is going to be crowded. Have fun with the rip. BTW, how much was the shipping for all of those boxes?

jswieton · February 12, 2009 12:36PM

<< Your table is going to be crowded. Have fun with the rip. BTW, how much was the shipping for all of those boxes? >>

I did a local pickup. I live about 40 minutes from BBCE.

mknez · February 12, 2009 12:38PM

That makes it even better! If I lived that close, I couldn't control myself.

jswieton · February 12, 2009 1:25PM

Is there anything worth grading out of the Pro Set series 2 hockey? I won the 4 boxes for under $7.00 for all of them. so I figured I couldn't go wrong with that.

fergie23 · February 12, 2009 1:32PM

Looks like fun. Good luck!
If that is 90/91 UD hockey I am looking for minty IGOR LARIONOV (#128) and VIACHESLAV FETISOV (#176) cards.
Thanks,

Robb

lsutigers1973 · February 12, 2009 1:33PM

John, I will go ahead and call dibs on any dups of Maddux (not Mike) and Ripken (not Billy).

CDsNuts · February 12, 2009 1:54PM

Good luck pulling the, uh..... um...... uh..... Good luck with the rip.

jswieton · February 12, 2009 5:42PM

I know most people think this is a waste of money and it probably is but I am going to probably rip half of it and keep the other half in my unopened material collection. Here is a list of cards I am going to shoot for in mint condition. I got the boxes off of eBay for an extremely discounted amount of money that is the only reason I just didn’t buy the cards outright. Plus, cards that are pulled out of a pack are twice as nice as cards bought in my opinion. Please let me know if there are anymore key rookie cards I am missing from my list.
89 Donruss PSA 10’s- Griffey rc, Johnson rc, Schilling rc, Ryan, Sheffield rc
91 UD high series FB PSA 10’s- there are 3 Favre rc’s in this set
90 Pro Set series 2- there are two Emmitt Smith rc’s, and the Santa card
92 Topps baseball- Manny Ramirez rc
87 Leaf- Maddux rc, Bonds, rc, McGwire rc
93 Topps- Jeter rc
91 Topps traded- Bagwell rc, I Rod rc, Giambi rc, Louis Gongolez rc
89- Sportsfics- randy Johnson rc
90 Sportsflics- Sosa rc, Ryan, Low Pop hof’ers
85 Topps- Clemens rc, McGwire rc, Pucket rc, ryan, Hof’ers
89 North Carolina- I believe there are 6 different Jordan’s
87 Donruss Pop ups- ?? not sure I got it because It was $7.50 for 4 boxes
91 Hockey- Jagr rc, Belfour rc, Bure rc, Federov
87 Sportsflics- Bonds rc, McGwire rc, Bo Jackson rc, low pop Hof’ers
86 Leaf- McGriff rc, Galaragga rc, ryan, Hof’ers

lsutigers1973 · February 12, 2009 11:02PM

1987 Leaf - Don't forget about Wade Boggs. Still no 10's and 2 player collectors on registry with deep pockets.

jeffcbay · February 12, 2009 11:06PM

F-U-N!!!! You should save all the wrappers, and when you're done, dump them in the middle of the floor and roll around in them!

...is that too weird? lol

jswieton · February 13, 2009 2:56AM

<< 1987 Leaf - Don't forget about Wade Boggs. Still no 10's and 2 player collectors on registry with deep pockets. >>

oh ya, I forgot to mention Boggs.

jswieton · February 13, 2009 4:03AM

So far I have opened a vending box of 85, a box of 87 sportsflics, a box of 89 N.C., a box of 90 Pro Set, and a box of 91 UD fb. The corners were in great shape out of the vending box. The centering was hit or miss and there were no dups out of it. So you really only have 1 shot to pull the stars out of each box. I was kind of disapointed not pulling a McGwire or Kirby.

The Emmitt and the Santa have shots at a psa 10

The Favre rookie force has a shot at a 10. The Star rookie has a mashed top right corner.

1980scollector · February 13, 2009 6:27AM

I will take one lot of this one.

Thanks in advance

jswieton · February 15, 2009 12:06PM

opened a box of 92 and 93 Topps baseball. The Manny has a shot at a 10 and the Jeters will probably be a 9 just because the centering is off a hair.

jswieton · February 15, 2009 1:11PM

Opened a box of the 91 traded and a 90 Sportsflic.

OAKESY25 · February 15, 2009 1:36PM

christ, look at the giambino.. looks like he's got the HIV

leathtech · February 15, 2009 1:36PM

wow look how small Giambi was!

jswieton · February 15, 2009 1:51PM

Why does my scanner suck so much? I have tried messing around with the DPI and that doesn't seem to help.

rube26105 · February 15, 2009 6:48PM

sweet, been ho'ing up jeter gold, mas rams, and chipers rookies myself

CrimsonTider · February 15, 2009 10:36PM

the kirby gold looks like it could be 50/50 centered. Are you planning on subbing any?

jswieton · February 16, 2009 9:45PM

I just pulled this from a vending case. Is there anyway I could get a psa 9 with it. It looks perfect besides the bottom left hand corner is very slightly touched. the rest of the card apears flawless. I'm sorrty about the scan it is the best my scanner can do.

lawnmowerman · February 16, 2009 11:02PM

The Pro Set Emmitt looks great! That is by far my favorite rc of his.

If it's not a 10, (judging by the front) I will be shocked

jswieton · February 17, 2009 4:17AM

<< the kirby gold looks like it could be 50/50 centered. Are you planning on subbing any? >>

4sure, I am going to be pretty selective. Only cards that have a good shot at a 9 or 10 that are hof'ers and some rc's.

jswieton · February 19, 2009 7:02AM

I opened another 5 vending box, 90 pro set, 89 donruss cello, and 89 Sports flic. One of the 89 Griffey's and the Sheffield have good shots at a 10. The centering is killing me on the 85 topps.

DALEMURPHY03 · February 19, 2009 8:11AM

hey look at the pre juice collection

Estil · February 19, 2009 9:21AM

Hey why didn't you get the wax boxes of KENTUCKY trading cards? North Carolina...boo...

jswieton · February 19, 2009 11:30AM

I think I fixed my scanner!! I opened the second box of 91 UD fb, 89 donruss, and first box of 86 Leaf.

BassPro77 · February 19, 2009 11:40AM

wow!

look how young Brett looks.

ajw · February 20, 2009 1:24AM

This is a great thread. Thanks for sharing!

I sent you a PM with a fairly random question. I'll post it here, if you want. Otherwise, just check your PM box.

Keep the scans coming!

jswieton · February 20, 2009 12:24PM

I picked these up at the card shop today when I was buying some supplies. I am shooting for a Brady rc. I am pretty sure there is only 1 series for each of these years. I will start ripping them in 5 minutes and scan when I am done with each brand.

jswieton · February 20, 2009 12:43PM

No brady.

jswieton · February 20, 2009 12:56PM

No Brady on the Omega either. The Thomas Jones rc is numbered 173-500.

lsutigers1973 · February 20, 2009 12:59PM

That was a little depressing.

jswieton · February 20, 2009 4:20PM

I picked up a few boxes from BBCE when we did the group rip to add to my Jordan collection. I also bought a box of 87 Topps from Bill when he returned the group sub from PSA. Not that anyone cares but I will add some scans sometime this weekend. I still have over half of the boxes to open from the initial rip.

jswieton · February 21, 2009 4:51AM

I ripped both boxes of hoops. I deffinetly found the Jordans I was looking for.

CrimsonTider · February 21, 2009 4:57AM

Are you subbing any of those Jordan's?

jswieton · February 21, 2009 5:29AM

Ya, 1 of each for my collection. Do you need one?

VitoCo1972 · February 21, 2009 5:35AM

No submit-able Robinson rookies??

jswieton · February 21, 2009 5:51AM

<< No submit-able Robinson rookies?? >>

No, they were both OC. I did pull the 1 card I was hopeing for. The Fleer Focus has a good shot at a 10.

CrimsonTider · February 21, 2009 6:55AM

Do you have a set in the Jordan Player registry?

jswieton · February 21, 2009 8:23AM

<< Do you have a set in the Jordan Player registry? >>

No I have only about 10 graded Jordan cards. I would like to start one.
