This rip has been so fun to watch, I am bummed I missed out on it. If any of you guys have any cards from my wantlist that you don't plan to keep or submit, please let me know.
Got nothing in my 81 Football or 84 Football... The big card was 84 Dickerson which was OC.... I did get a 49er QB in the 81 Football, but not Montana...

fergie23 pulled a Lemieux AND a Gretzky! What we have not seen yet is a Montana rookie. I only purchased one pack of 81 football, but seeing that no one has pulled one yet I am tempted to open it.
Received grades back for the Lemieux and Gretzky rookies. The Lemieux grade is fair but the Gretzky will probably be resubmitted. Submitted under the $14 5 day special, requested no qualifiers.

I was pretty worried when I first saw the conditions of the packs. Two of 81's were slightly curved on one end, both 84's looked like they had extra "wax" on them and the 76 was curved and I could clearly see that at least the top and bottom cards would have damage!
The 81's yielded 14 nicely centered cards (all commons) and 2 stars (Simms & Clark) both slightly off center. 8 of the commons made nice upgrades for my 81 set. 2 cards had damage other than centering (wax stains on backs, edge nicks, etc...)
The 86's yielded 7 nicely centered cards (all commons) and no major stars. 7 cards had damage including 3 with blank backs!
The 84's were the worst of the bunch, yielding only 1 centered common and no stars. 6 cards with damage
Needless to say I was disappointed so far and from the looks of the last pack, I wasn't to hopefull.
It turned out that other than the top and bottom cards having corner issues, the 76's were centered nicely with only few (3-5) off center.
Including the following two!!!!!!!!
The Payton does have a rough spot on the edge of the bottom border, but overall I'm happy with it. This is one of only two 70's star cards that I've never owned. Just wish I still owned them though... >>
Update...
Sent these in on last months specials, the Payton grade popped today, I was shocked!!!!

The O.J. is on the $4.50 special so it may take awhile, but if that Payton pulled a 9, that O.J. has a shot at a 10!
