Exciting pulls without even opening a pack...

I've got a bunch of 1978 Topps baseball wax trays and I've been slowly putting together a PSA graded 1978 set exclusively from cards I've pulled on my own from unopened wax/rack packs, and I've got this 78 tray that's a bit beat up, with tears on two of the four corners, so I decide to bust it open and the first pack I look at after the cello is peeled off has an Eddie Murray RC face up peeking back at me through the back wrapper and the second pack has (what appears to be) a beautifully centered Reggie Jackson card face up through the back of the pack as well! I did rip the third pack and came up empty with that pack, but this is one of those few times when I feel like I pulled a couple great cards without even opening the wrapper...gotta love those wax trays, LOL...

Might want to have the Murray pack graded/encapsulated and keep it as part of your 78 collection.

Glad they were face up not face down. Front wax is easily removed. Nice pulls

Nice "partial bust" or whatever it's called.

Thanks, fellas, appreciate the kind words! The Murray pack is the bottom one. The 78 OPC pack with Brett facing out was one of the six 78 OPC packs I got from the March BBCE rip. (I also got a 75 mini wax pack with the Ryan HL card on back.)
