BBCE 1975 Mini Group break results - Post your mini's!

leathtech

All right let's see everyone's hits... I'll get this started by posting the results from my 7 packs - nothing special but I really think some people are going to be very happy when they pull the HOF'ers!

Also if anyone is looking to sell their commons I'd be willing to buy - looking to put a nice raw set together - don't really care if the cards are oc.

Looks like decent centering. Was the centering pretty good across all your packs?

leathtech

Most of the mini's looked like this... I would say on average there was 2 dead centered cards per pack.

Jasen, the Tidrow and Hargrove (if those were the ones you considered centered) would be considered OC top to bottom by PSA. How many cards were lost due to gum and/or wax?

I would be interested in any Brewers that would grade a 9

Nam - the second 4 are the example of typical pack centering... I for sure would not consider those centered and would not sub them.

Only the top card that was on the wax rapper is bad - the gum just fall right off the gum-card with little or damage.

Thanks Jasen. Cant wait to receive mine, since this batch from the new find seems leaps and bounds better than the 60+ packs I've opened in the last 2 years.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- I just got mine regular mail!!!!!!!!!
Guess im used to getting cases from steve ups i just assumed he always shipped by them.Ill do a happy dance, pray to emmitt smiths hair and jerry garcia's ashes, and rip after i get cleaned up, i was planting flowers in the rain

ploobims

opps, double post- slow connection, i stink

We all should get ours today then, on the east coast anyways?

CubsFan41

Mine just showed up. I always say Im gonna hold one back for an unopened collection but don't have the will power.

mike92694

unopened packs are like unscratched lottery tickets.

CubsFan41

Two catchers named ellie. what are the chances. I think the ellie rodriguez is submittable. 8 maybe a 9. Opinions?

ploobims

Ok somebody show me a pefect centered top to bottom example, because these are all over the place, front and back

CubsFan41

Pack 2 was better condition. Reggie was a big letdown. First pack centering on the backs was brutal. Pack 2 was perfect on the backs.

CubsFan41

Here are my best with front and back centering. The Popovich has wax on the front. Does that get an ST qualifier?

milbroco

None yet for me on the East Coast. Hopefully everyone gets them today, rips them all, scans all cards, and no Bretts, Younts, Aarons, or Ryans. That would give me a good chance with my four packs wouldn't it.

Somebody is bound to hit the mother load in one of the lots.

The second pack is about as good centering as I have seen on a complete mini pack. the first is far more common. The alcs is a very low pop 9 (4), popovich is not a hard 9 at all.

ploobims

i got a yaz/rose/mccovey/ bench rbi/ carew batting leaders, i need to figure the top to bottom centering on mine in hand

ploobims

storming, scan later

Aprox how far down the card should the top team name be to be centered? 1/8th of a inch or so?

daddymc

Got my four packs today. It was a lot of fun ripping these. Kind of a rush everytime I saw a card with the same colors as the Brett RC. Unfortunately no Brett or Yount and not much star power in my packs. Here are the HOF cards and only one common that might be gradeable. A lot of NM cards due to centering issues or slight corner dings.

OAKESY25

sure hope some stars / rookies start showing up..
thats at least one box so far I would think... with no rose, ryan, bench
lynn, rice, yount, brett.. granted they could be from different boxes..
you would think someone would have pulled at least one of them..

edit to add.. maybe ploobims did pull a bench and a rose??
not sure if that is a leader card or regular issue

goose3

my one pack arrived today.

nicely centered. 2 biggest names are Torre and bobby Murcer. both look perfect to me but what do I know, I collect PSA4 Goudeys.

No gum damage other than to my son's tongue.

ploobims

i pulled a reg rose, the bench was a rbi leader, was a frank robinson and bob gibson inthere but are way oc, im still trying to figure the centering top to bottom

mknez

I picked mine up yesterday. Will rip tomorrow once I get home.

ploobims

there are commons from 12 packs if i ever get advice on top/bottom centering

scashaggy

I see that Rose comes with a piece of his hair, nice pull.

ploobims

yes- i got a pete pube, guess i need to clean my scanner

baseballfan

75 topps mini

4-5-20-30-50-100-191-198-200-202-205-216-228-255-260-320-500-580

minnesotahusker

Let me add that I need to upgrade four cards in my 1975 Topps mini set. I need the following numbers:

241 257 312 562

Let me know if you'd be willing to sell me any of these. They may be in my 2 packs I bought.

Thanks

My 14 packs arrived yesterday, and I did pretty well as far as centered commons and star power. Here is a look at the stars.

Very nice.

I didn't get crap in my 3 packs

lsutigers1973

Nice pulls Nick!

daddymc

A Brett, Yount, and Aaron. Very nice!

leathtech

nice pulls do you think the Brett can pull a 9?

leathtech

anyone looking to move their commons please let me know... I'm interested in putting the set together now... I've got about a 75 card start so I can use just about everything!

Dboneesq

Nick ... Pretty well? Looks like you did AWESOME! Good luck on the grades!

nam812

<< <i>nice pulls do you think the Brett can pull a 9? >>



No. The corners are sharp and square with no color missing at all, but the left to right centering is 31/69 so I will be just hanging on for an 8 since 70/30 can still get an 8.

I am going to start a separate thread later with scans of some of my commons that I will be sending in for grading.

Edited to add: In 14 packs (140 cards) I did not pull any MVP, Playoff, Checklist, or "4 player" Rookie cards, and the only highlight I pulled was the Aaron. I just thought that was odd since those 55 cards (MVPs, Playoffs, Checklists, Rookies, Highlights) make up over 8% of the set, and my 140 cards (although not all different) is over 21% of the set.

ploobims

Im pretty sure steve got the packs you got mixed up with my 12 nick
at least somebody got a yount and a brett

bobbybakeriv

Those are some real beauties! The Seaver looks like it has a legit shot, no?

scashaggy

nice pulls.
