Memorial Day Rip - 80's Football Run

in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
I'm going to celebrate Memorial Day by ripping my 80's football run from the group rip. I'm trying to get as much enjoyment as possible out of these so its going to be slow going and I may be showcasing some average or slightly above average cards but its all in good fun. So happy Memorial Day to everyone.

Cheers

    Next up...1988 Topps. This is the only pack the did not have a tight seal. But hey, its 1988 Topps, so I'm not too worried.

    Not bad, 3 HOF'ers.

    1987 Topps.

    So good so far. Condition is nice and centering is great. Let's hope the Montana trend continues.

    Condition still looking good; centering a little random. A couple of HOF'ers in this one. The Dickerson has that extra color and gloss that its seems some of the 86's have. You can see how much more green the borders are than the LT. One other card in the pack was this way.

    Pack was a total dud other than the Elway sticker. But the condition was great! lol.

    Well, it didn't have any rookies but I can't complain about 4 HOF'ers in one pack.

    Nice rip - 85's aren't always about star power...

    Tippetts RC almost always has a tilt on it. 84's are real tuff to get 10's

    Sweet, didn't realize it was his rookie. Do you guys think it has a chance at a 9?

    Scan it again all by itself but open the scanner lid to give it a black backround

    Alright, a bit of a tangent. 1983 Fleer Football. I don't know how Fleer thought they could compete without the players rights but that didn't stop them from trying. Not sure what the price point was on these back in the day but only 7 cards per pack surely didn't help them.

    The only problems I see are a couple slight print marks in the upper white border and a small blue dot to the left of his shoulder.

    Okay, another pack with no rookies or HOF'ers. Come to speak of it. No rookies out of anything except the Tippet. Maybe its all saved up for the 81.

    Well, here we go.....1981 Topps. These are wrapped in 1979 wrappers. Not sure of the story behind it but I would imagine the wrappers were overstock and Topps figured no one would notice. If anyone knows more, I would love to hear it.

    As with all of the other packs tonight, this one has nice solid wax rollers marks going the full width of the pack. Nice original folds. I feel confident this is an untampered pack. But then again, I'm a novice at this.

    I think the Tippett might be a PSA 8 but its hard to tell from scan though, Send it in with the group sub.

    Lol. I presume it belongs to the joker that lifted my Montana out of the pack.
  • summerof68summerof68 Posts: 748 ✭
    Just because a pack has "nice solid roller marks going the full width of the pack" does not in any way guarantee the pack to be untampered with. The roller lines (must) match up (perfectly) to each other on (both) sides of the vertical line formed at the meeting point of the two wrapper flaps.

    Even under magnification if the lines are minutely off then the pack has been resealed--it's that important!
