Some of you know I've been a fierce advocate of letting unopened product remain that way. But I've had a couple vending boxes from the 70's staring me in the face from my desk for a few months now. And I'm bored.

So whaddya say? Should I bust one of them? (only one, I have my principles, lol)

    What are the different choices you have?

    Not that it matters, I am still gonna vote yes to busting it.

    Alright, my arm has been twisted if not broken. The bust will commence at 9 pm central time tonight. I've not yet decided which box it will be.

    I hope you pull multiple Ryans and Winfields, but the collation on that box looks a bit odd unless it's the lighting..

    Pattern doesn't seem very consistant. Maybe due to age and being moved around a lot?

    I was thinking the same thing. You have sections curving one way and sections curving the opposite. Hope the box is kosher.
    Good luck.

    nah, probably flipping it upside down and putting it on the scanner.

    Ruh-roh. I've gone through about 150 more cards and this is the best of the bunch. Absolutely no stars, and the centering is wildly off. These cards are the best of that group......that's it. A little worried about the integrity of this box, boys.
