===== Please let me know if anyone pulls the below cards from the 1975 cellos and might like to sell or trade them (these are the last 9 cards we need to complete our raw set).
My pack arrived today. Thank you Felicia! It was really fun opening. I'll scan it by this weekend because my computer is on Vista, and I have an old scanner, so I have to use my wife's laptop which she takes to work with her that is compatible with the scanner. It's still on XP.
I've spent the great part of the last hour trying to fix this POS with HP...I have to let the internal battery die for 4 days...and try again...if that doesn't work...she's dead.
I may end up just using the camera phone for the bust afterall.
Thank you so much Felicia for this fantastic giveaway. I want to add that I am about 70 cards away from completing my raw 1975 set and in the last few days have had a couple of members here offer up some duplicates. Of the 80 or so duplicates offered me I only needed 1 of those cards. Of the 18 cards I got from Felicia's cello I got 8 cards I needed ! ! . Thanks......here they are: and the Robinson looks like a 10 of which there are none yet.

Well i already posted some pics from my rip so.....
I just wanted to say that my pursuit for a job is coming along . I had a second interview with Remington Arms , which for those who are not familiar is a maker of hunting guns and ammo. They called me a third time and want me there next Monday . They have a very intense interview process , which you would expect handling weapons and stuff. Out of 14 people that were called in for the interview process only two of us are still in the running. So hopefully things go well.

guys, let me know if you need any of the cards I pulled... OR maybe we could draw a name randomly of the 16 of us.. ( by we I mean Felicia ) and we can send the commons or whatever to one person to start them off building the set... just a thought

First of all, I would like to again express my appreciation to Felicia for doing this for me and all of us. It's amazing how being in a low point can affect every aspect of your life. I know I've been a lot less easy going for the last few months...and like Keith said, I've gained a couple of pounds too. This event was certainly an uplifting one, and I thank you.
This rip was absolutely thrilling for me. I can't remember ever ripping any '75s, of either variety, so it was a rare treat.
With the awesome hits from my cello rip I am down to the following to complete my 1975 raw set. Anyone with any of these cards for sale or trade LMK. Thanks to all & LOVE to Felicia. 1,2,65,75,80,117,120,121,125,130,133,140,154,157,160,163,165,170,171,176,185,189,191,193,196,198, 207,223,228,230,243,260,264,279,280,312,320,325,331,335,350,370,420,461,464,491,500,510,511,517, 526,529,532,540,547,556,557,565,585,601,611,616,617,618,620,621,622,625,626,628,638,640,647,660

Wow, almost every pack so far as had at least one hall of famer with most having two or three. I think I only saw two or three packs that did not have a hall of famer in it.
received my pack yesterday--THANKS AGAIN, FELICIA!!! however, like a few other recipients, my scanner crapped out on sunday so i am unable to post any scans until i buy a new one (unfortunately, i dont have a digital camera)--that being said, here is an old-fashioned, "pre-internet"-style list of the cards i got, in the exact order they were positioned in the pack:
okay, taking it from the top (no pun intended):
george brett #228
george brett #228
robin yount #223
robin yount #223
george brett #228
george brett #228
george brett #228
nolan ryan #500
hank aaron #660
nolan ryan #500
well, u guys get the idea--the last eight cards in the pack were all 50/50 bretts that even had corner protectors on the corners of each card--the corners are so sharp i used one of them to shave off my month-old bum beard this morning (bum as in hobo, not arse)--i think to give them "10's" would be undergrading them so i'm in the process of sending joe an email lobbying for a new "11" grade (or maybe he'll meet me halfway with a 10.5). i was suprised that felicia would send me a pack with not only a brett showing thru on top but one on the bottom as well (and eleven more in between-- the guy at the topps factory who put this pack together back in 75 has probably been looking for work since the day this pack got sealed under his jurisdiction so we should try to locate him and if find out if he collects and if he does felicia could send him a pack (or maybe one of those rack packs!!)
okay, i was only kidding (almost april fools????)--the pack only had 12 bretts.
okay, here's what i really got (again, taking it from the top) bob bailey #365 r......................ay burris #566 larry bowa # 420 tim mccarver # 586 checklist # 646 larvell blanks #394 tim johnson # 556: the gum was touching the back of this card and the back of the one right below it, which is none other than...... (drumroll please!) r.......................ick wise # 56 tom dettore #469 mike lum # 154 bob grich # 225 g...........................iants team #216 frank tanana #16 bobby murcer #350 r...............................on blomberg # 68 tommy john # 47 r................................ick monday # 129 and finally, last but certainly not least, mike tyson (before he took up boxing) #231
well, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see that there were zero hall of famers in this pack--tommy john is the closest i got to cooperstown (at first when i came across him, i was like "hey, tommy john--i think he's a hall of famer" (but i was wrong).
overall, the cards were nice--the centering was generally good, a few were off-center and a few had a slight corner ding in the upper-right corner. also, dont know if any of u guys experienced this, but the card that was on the bottom of the pack (tyson) has a white print mark on it that at first i thought might be from the white portion of the cellophane, but the mark on the card is on the right side of the card and the part of the back of the cellophane (the back side with folds) that has the white part on it is on the left side of the pack, so i dont think the print mark on the card is from the white part on the cello. did anyone else have this same problem with their bottom card if it was face-up on the bottom of the pack??
of the 18 cards, there were only two i needed for my set (i still need 137 cards). as i said, i'll scan the cards as soon as i pick up a new scanner (and if i got twelve bretts in the pack, i wouldve gone out and bought a new scanner on the spot--heck, i wouldve bought twelve of em--one for each card!! thanks again, felicia for this most generous and gracious gesture and good luck to the any of the remaining guys who havent received their packs yet!!!!!
My 75 pack just showed up, and I have to say thank you very much Felicia! Easily the oldest pack I've opened and it was a blast. Now I only 642 more cards to complete the set. Here are the scans.

These rips are like a flashback for me ... minus the wrappers, the gum and assorted candy that we would buy with the change from the packs.
Looks like everyone has done pretty good with star and HOFers in each pack.
cheers
Can you use any of the cards that I pulled? LMK.
