The 74 pack was a dead pack. The first few cards of the 73 pack were commons, but then I pulled 3 stars all together. The Clemente has some pretty bad wax on it. Hope the pictures work, as I've never tried to post photos before.
Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
fattymacs, you must of ordered the additional airbrushed caps option for your '76 pack.
Thanks to all of your for showing these to us- somewhere lurks some big pulls, the more we don't see, it makes me wonder how many of you will later decide to take a crack and see ..
Too bad the cutting was so atrocious on that '73 pack, it would've been an all time great pack if they were centered. Amazing you pulled all 3 in one pack
Watching people open these, it is clearer as to why high grade examples from the 70's go for so much. Only a handful, fresh from packs, would be considered PSA 8.
For those that ripped packs and posted the results, If I felt that you should get another chance at pulling some cards, I have PM'd you and will be sending you an unopened cello pack of 1975 Topps Baseball.
If you kept your packs sealed and are getting them graded or just keeping them and decided not to open them then no big deal, I just feel bad that some of you got some o/c cards when you ripped them.
Some of you already got an extra pack sent to you after seeing the pulls, and you know who you are, for the others I have asked you to please send me your mailing address, I will send out the packs by tuesday of next week.
<< <i>Very nice gesture, but unnecessary, IMO Buying wax is a gamble. These are card collectors, they should know how it works >>
I have to agree... and for the most part I think we do know how it works...I had a great time opening my packs and think I fared well on some of those 75's... you can't win on all of them- if you did what fun would it be?
Does anyone know how much Topps monitored their quality control back then? I'm wondering if they periodically stopped the presses and looked at how the cards were being cut from the sheet and made adjustments or if they just let them all rip at one time.
Wow, I just read your offer and sending something else is not necessary. I enjoyed opening the older packs, regardless of what condition the cards came out. Sometimes they are great, other times they arent' as great. Thanks again!

Ain't that the truth.Has anyone pulled a card that was better than EX?
