OMG that is Nasty!! (Not your cards they look nice)
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)
I tore apart my office so I don't have a scanner but my first pack was 1989 score and I got a Jerry Rice. Then I got shut out for awhile. 1986 Andre Reed Rookie and 1988 Sterling Sharpe Rookie. Fun rip though.
At work and ripped while working. I think I got the Mike Schmidt run because I received a total of 14 Mike Schmidt cards from the baseball runs, no big rookies or anything else, just a few minor stars.
With the football, I got a few nice Dorsetts and a really nice looking Warren Moon Rc out of the 1985 Topps.

nothing wrong with that!
I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
Buying: Topps White Out (silver) letters Alex Gordon 80 Topps Greg Pryor “No Name" 90 ProSet Dexter Manley error 90 Topps Jeff King Yellow back 1958 Topps Pancho Herrera (no“a”) 81 Topps Art Howe (black smear above hat) 91 D A. Hawkins BC-12 “Pitcher”
I got my packs today. I'm out of town working so I don't have a scanner. My best card was a 89 Score Barry Sanders rookie. It would probably grade an 8. I got a couple Montanas and Marinos but none worth the grading fees. Didn't get much but had fun ripping the packs. Thanks for setting this up. James
Since I have no good cards to post, I thought I'd post my worst card. Condition on my packs was terrible, but the following took the cake. (Honestly, no photoshop here, this is the card!)
Was hoping for some cards to send in on the next group sub, but got shutout. Maybe next time.
I was feeling pretty good when this was in the first pack of baseball I ripped:
No more rookies after that though and limited star power. Not really worth scanning but there was:
'81 Fleer Jim Gantner, Gaylord Perry '82 Topps Phil Niekro, Carlton Fisk IA '83 Fleer Gary Carter '83 Donruss Don Sutton '83 Topps Bruce Sutter SV '85 Fleer Pete Rose 4000th Hit '85 O-Pee-Chee Wade Boggs '85 Topps Tony Perez RB '86 Donruss Phil Niekro '86 Fleer Rod Carew 3000 Career Hits '86 O-Pee-Chee Goose Gossage, Carlton Fisk '86 Topps Don Mattingly AS '87 O-Pee-Chee Dave Winfield '89 Fleer Ryne Sandberg, Wade Boggs AS '88 Score Nolan Ryan, Phil Niekro '89 Score Ozzie Smith, Nolan Ryan
Oh yeah, and a 1982 Topps Rusty Kuntz
There was one bad thing with the baseball packs. I wouldn't hold out any high hopes as far as pulling a Griffey RC out of the high number packs. I found these three cards in the middle of my pack:
There's even a big stain across the front of the '82 Topps Mahler.
In any case, the thrill of pulling the Ripken RC made the baseball rip well worth it!
You pulled a 1982 topps card out of your 1989 upper deck pack??
Did I read that right?? >>
Yep. >>
Wow. No wonder I didn't pull a Henderson, Raines, Ripken, Gwynn, Boggs, Sandberg, Mattingly, McGwire, Puckett, Clemens, Bonds, or Griffey rookie card. >>
The other packs were fine in my opinion, and I've ripped 80's packs from BBCE before and never had a problem. It just looks like there may be a problem with the '89 UD high number packs. I did pull the nice Ripken RC.

I've ripped 80's packs from Steve too. I didn't notice anything wrong with any of them, and really just let out my frustration with the stuff I pulled in the above post. I DIDN'T mean to imply I thought Steve was at fault. I don't know Steve personally, but my email "conversations" with him and the extras he's thrown in for me has always made me feel he's as honest as the day is long. I'm NOT blaming him.
That being said, you're not suppose to get 1982 topps cards in 1989 UD packs, right??
Is it possible to reseal/counterfeit the Upper Deck foil packs? Could it be possible that the UD factory had an old topps card laying around and just happen to slip into the production line?
If anyone pulls or already has the following 1982 Topps football cards in any condition I would completely appreciate the help with my set and would pay you for the cards. It is a set I've been working on since I was ten years old and have already received a bunch of help with from board members - thanks again and awesome pulls guys. I've always wanted to open a 1986 Topps football pack, looks fun!
81 Donruss - Sutton, Schmidt MVP 82 Donruss - Phillies Finest (Rose/Schmidt) 83 Donruss - Seaver 84 Donruss - Carew 85 Donruss - Ripken DK (may have to scan this one for opinions), Ryan 86 Donruss - Yikes. Best card was Concepcion. Or Frank White. 87 Donruss - Mattingly, John Kruk RC 88 Donruss - Worse than the '86 pack. 89 Donruss - Mattingly 81 Fleer - Willie McCovey 82 Fleer - Paul Molitor 83 Fleer - Wade Boggs RC (about 70/30 O/C and a soft corner... Waaaaaaamp waaaaah...) 84 Fleer - Nothing. 85 Fleer - Tug McGraw, Fred Lynn, Jack Morris. Bleh. 86 Fleer - Jim Rice 87 Fleer - Canseco, that's about it. 88 Fleer - Puckett (x2), Ozzie 89 Fleer - Bonds, Ozzie, Boggs 80 Topps - (Couldn't resist!) Winfield 81 Topps - Ozzie RB 82 Topps - Rickey Henderson, Phillies TL (Rose/Carlton) 83 Topps - Not much. 84 Topps - Gossage, Ozzie AS 85 Topps - Gossage 86 Topps - Ripken, Dale Murphy 87 Topps - Doc Gooden was the best. 88 Topps - 2 coulda beens, Canseco and Strawberry 89 Topps - Gwynn, Clemens AS, Bonds 88 Score - Rickey Henderson 89 Score - Boggs, Ryan 89 Bowman - Mattingly, Jerome Walton RC(!!!) 89 UD Low - Palmeiro(?) 89 UD High - Jim Abbott 3D 86 OPC - Nada. 87 OPC - Puckett 88 OPC - Maddux (with gum adhered) 88 Leaf - Bonds, McGwire
All in all, not bad. Only a couple of real duds in the whole run. The 85 Ripken DK is SHARP. I need to get a scan up of that. Anyone have a pop report of that one?
Thanks to leathtech for putting this together. I really enjoyed it. I have also fallen in love with late 80's OPC. Dammit.

I'm not sure, I was hoping to hear some opinions on this.
All this talk of busting packs has led me to busting some '89 Donruss packs from a case I bought at the show this weekend. I got a Griff on the first pack, and nothing after, go figure. Here is what I bought:

<< <i>Nice Aikman... hope my packs show up today... >>
thanks I think I pulled another 8 though... this set sure is hard to pull 9's and 10's edges seem to chip very easy.
You pick your cards up in person?? I paid for my Thursday but wasn't expecting to get them til Monday or Tuesday.
I wish mine were here, I'd be ripping as we speak.

<< <i>Too bad that Aikman isn't a 10. But obviously that's one of the best cards to pull from the 89 set.

Even with the additional packs of 1980 topps, 1982 topps, 1983 topps, and 1983 donruss I added, no rookies whatsoever.
No Henderson, Ripken, Gwynn, Sandberg, Boggs, Mattingly, Clemens, McGwire, Bonds, Griffey......nothing.

<< <i>You just made Barfvader's day with that miscut. >>
Which card is this?? It's right down the middle.
PSA 9 OC Ken Griffey, or;
PSA 9 OC Scott McGregor
I should send it in to see.

I'll pay your sub fee just to see what they say. It might boggle the mind!
Too bad the LT rookie is OC, still a cool card:
The only Payton I pulled was the sticker:
Including the above Payton sticker, the '85 pack was loaded:
LOL Yes, that is a Boz rookie card:
Another HOF rookie, Michael Irvin:
Including the Largent above the '89 Score pack was loaded with RCs and HOF'ers:
No more rookies after that though and limited star power.
