Hey guys,

Steve just sent an email asking me to let you all know the cards will be mailed out on Monday. He was out of town for a funeral and this held him up.

Just this moment got mine -- A Joisey Guy---

MULLINS5

.....still waiting.....will rip and scan when they arrive.

TurbosHockey

I cracked my first rack pack this morning. I got a Hawerchuk rookie and a Francis rookie. Unfortunately like most OPC they are both very off center. I will crack more tomorrow night when I have some alone time.

2cardguys

I had a busy night last night and this morning so I didn't get to rip all 6 packs... here are some pics from those I did rip:










and next time I'll put my reading glasses on before cropping a pic on a small screen laptop early in the morning:



At least you got an idea... tonight I'll rescan the above pic and repost and hopefully get a chance to rip some more and post.

So far looks good guys, centering is not that bad on those '79's and the '86's look pretty good...hopefully when the big cards come they are not poorly centered like turbos rack rip.

I'm still waiting on my packs to show up...I'm out to help out at the store and hope they are at home when I get back.

nightcrawler

Great Reggie Leach.

TurbosHockey

The Riverton Rifle. 1986 is going to be tough to find many that are centered well. That you for posting yuur scans.

Good One!!

hey guys, got my 5 packs of 86/87 OPC in and first time in about 4 group breaks finally got a good hit. Will have better scans tonight

Pack 3 had the Roy(there is a pink circle print dot on the right of the card, is that normal for this card or will that probably ding the grade up?)

TurbosHockey

Holy Crap that is one nice centered ROY. The dot may or may not ding you. The centering is awesome It has a good shot at a 9

jswieton

Wow, nice Roy. I would send that into PSA asap!!!

MULLINS5

<< <i>Wow, nice Roy. I would send that into PSA asap!!! >>

Those 79's look very nice, as do the OPCs. The Roy is particularly nice, hope the pd doesn't hurt it.

lkk66

here is a better scan of the Roy, let me know what you guys think it would grade at

nightcrawler

<< <i>here is a better scan of the Roy, let me know what you guys think it would grade at >>




I think no less than a 9, the slight oc from top to bottom just adds to the great eye appeal, IMO. Very nice card, I hope you get a 10.

T/B 43/57 card looks really nice

MULLINS5

8.5 to 9 - card is beautiful!

lsutigers1973

I see a fisheye and a print dot or 2 on the Roy.

nightcrawler

And a very slight tilt, not sure if that matters.

OAKESY25

I think an 8 on the Roy.. looks like the top corners are dinged

Frozencaribou

The Roy is a 9 if you submit a few times. An 8 for sure.

MULLINS5

I ripped my '82 rack tonight but didn't get any key rookies. Pulled a nice Bossy but the centering was pretty bad and corners dinged on many.

2cardguys

OK Take two on posting my " un-trimmed version"

This is both packs:





Here are the scans from pack 1 of the rack packs- Next time I have to close the scanner so they remain flat...

gameusedhoop

Hi-Lites of 5 1986 OPC packs......

OK, there weren't any. Best cards were Dave Taylor and Gilbert Perreault. If you're not a "Hockey Guy" then you probably haven't heard of many of the others.

Hi-Lites of 10 1979 Topps packs....




Hi-Lites of 5 1982 OPC racks....

OK, didn't open them yet, gonna save them, except for this one....it's gonna be on ebay soon


Oh yeah, almost forgot, got this in the 1979s....

goye

congrats guh........

goye

speechless.......

artistlost

That is beautiful.

Looks like a sure fire 9 or better!

Nice rack pack too.

congrats!

Oh, and you can just package both up and send them over when ever you get a minute.

Thanks

Wow very nice. Almost no point opening my packs now.

<< <i>Wow very nice. Almost no point opening my packs now >>



Not true...at 10 cards per pack and 36 packs in a box there are 360 cards available. Only 264 in the set so there should be about "100 doubles" if collation is good. Gives you about a 38% chance of hitting a 2nd of any card. Plus no Hull or Howe have surfaced yet. Get cracking!

My Gretzky has 2 fine, very thin roller lines through his nose and lower glove, worried that it will kill any grade it might receive. I'll have to wait for a group submit or renew my membership to get it graded. I let mine go when they did the .5 thing. Cheaper to buy already graded in most cases.

Congrats STeve!!!

That's a blazer there!!!

LMK if that dog is for sale

Got my packs today, thankfully the big ones have been pulled

MULLINS5

amazing Gretzky!!!

glad to see the key cards in great shape!

TurbosHockey

I did not realize that. I thought the set was 396 like OPC. I guess I will wrip them tonight

daddymc

Nice to see a Gretzky RC surface and a great looking card.
