I just got home from the National and I am going to take me a nap and then around 8 0'clock central time I will be doing a live box break of 1979 topps baseball purchased from BBCE at the National this week. I will be scanning as I rip so for all of you collectors out there that are having a "pack attack" like me please join me at 8 for what should hopefully be a pretty cool live bust!!!

    Nice! I've been thinking of busting a 79 rack box - hope your Ozzies are centered!

    Mr. Vintage
    Did you get the rack box from BBCE? I was at the National too and almost pulled the trigger on 1 of the 2 79 rak boxes he had,.
    Just for my information, when you buy a full rak box like that did you get any good stars on the top or bottom? What stars did you get?
    Cant wait for the break!!!!!!!!
  • IchiroDeportedIchiroDeported Posts: 1,610 ✭
    im curious what stars might be showing as well.
  • Bottom9thBottom9th Posts: 2,695 ✭✭
    Looking forward to it! I hope you get a lot of sub worthy cards!
  • MrVintageMrVintage Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭
    Yes I did buy one of the 2 racks boxes that BBCE had at the national and there are a few packs with stars showing. Some of the stars on the fronts and backs include Reggie Jackson, Nolan Ryan Strikeout leaders, Pete Rose Record Breaker, Catfish Hunter, and several others.
  • Downtown1974Downtown1974 Posts: 7,011 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Good Luck! Cant wait to start seeing some cards.
  • MrVintageMrVintage Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭
    Okay guys here is pack # 1.....No real star power here and it looks like centering is going to be all over the place. These are the only ones worth scanning condition wise.

    Pack #2 has some star power but the stars all had poor centeringimage

    I subbed an Ozzie that was cut just like that, requested NQs, and it came back a PSA 4... lol

    thanks for sharing your rip! I'm tuned in! image

    Hilarious since it would have been a 9OC which PSA weights it as a 7 on the registry.

    Pack #4...The Bonds card is the best looking card so far in the box.....it is a pop 0 in psa 10.....fingers crossed

    Maybe you will hit a gem Dale Murphy. He has only 3 psa 10 in 79 Topps

  • jeffcbayjeffcbay Posts: 8,951 ✭✭✭✭
    one would think since it was very sharp (from a group rip last year). I was hoping for a 7, but I was assuming since it was so severely OC, maybe that bumped it further than two points.

    They'll come around. Good star power so far.

    Good stuff.
  • MrVintageMrVintage Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭
    pack #7..Nolan Ryan is really sharp OC on the back with a small print dot on the left side of the back. How tough is psa on print dots on the back?

    I subbed a Ryan from a group very similar to yours but mine also had a tiny stain on the front. Mine still got a straight 9.
  • MrVintageMrVintage Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭
    I think i'm gonna save the rest to bust tommorrow. I'll continue to post as I bust. What do you guys think so far? Anything with a shot at a PSA 10?

    Great rip! Best of luck with the grades

    Every well centered 79 Ryan I've ever seen is pretty OC on the back. Was yours Bill?

    The Ryan is a beauty!

    Sorry about the Oz - seems like that's a problem with that card.

    The 2nd yr Murray looks pretty good.
