    Sorry to read through this and see it end like this.

    Let me know if any of the Red Sox are available. They're all in better shape than mine regardless of them being searched image

    just jumping in on this. Sorry to hear about that Ron. Will indeed be interesting to see what PSA does on the packs. Are they raw or crossovers?

    It's a rainy day in Texas and I may as well bust the second '74 box to see if it was as badly searched as the first.

    Already started to bust it, it looked like the first box but maybe a little better. 100 cards in, no Rose, Ryan, Winfield, or Aaron.

    Done. No Ryan, Rose, Winfield, or Aaron. Just like the first box. One Schmidt (very nice, will scan). One Bench. One Yaz. Just about the same as the first box, not surprised. Oh well.

    Leftovers are for sale!

    Hello Ron,

    I wasn't on the boards when you opened your first 74 BB vending box. Just finished reading the thread. Sorry to hear about it being searched. I actually busted open a GAI graded 74 BB vending box I bought from Steve Hart and it was like you would see in a typical vending box, not what you had pictured. If I recall, I pulled 2 Aaron card #1s, 1 Ryan, 1 Schmidt, but no Winfield which was the card I was really hoping for. My one recollection is that there were a lot of traded cards in the box. I don't recall if I took pictures before I pulled them out of the box, but if I did I'll post them for everyone to see.

    Does anybody else think she bought a case of 1974 topps and either


    1) they were searched when she purchased


    2) they got searched after the purchase at somepoint?


    Whatever happened to Felicia?

    Did you end up grading any from the first box? If so, how did you do? Also, did you send a scan of the box to BBCE and what did Steve think?
  • RonBurgundyRonBurgundy Posts: 5,491 ✭✭✭
    I think I graded a few cards from that box, the Ryan got an 8 and the Yaz got either an 8 or a 9. I think the Seaver got an 8 or 8.5, I remember in the sub I sent there were 2 Seavers, one I got at show for a few bucks, one was a 9, the other 8 or 8.5. I do remember most stars in the first box either had print or fisheyes on almost all of them.

    I didn't send the scan to Steve, after I busted the box it was pretty apparent what it was.
