  • Hi Jim,

    I sent you the three cards from the rip that were on your list. I see Doug is sending you 22 cards. You may want to update the list soon, so you do not get too many duplicates.

  • Afternoon,

    Gretzky is Safe so far!!!!

    Just ripped my 5 packs and all I can say is cr@p cr@p cr@p.......nada nil nothing and I hope things start looking better for the others on this rip
    because all 5 of my packs were barely sealed with a quick lick and a promise. I have faith in BBCX that this box wasn't compromised so hopefully
    the good stuff is still coming.
    I might scan 1 or 2 cards but not even a minor star in the bunch.

  • Evening,

    "my packs were barely sealed with a quick lick and a promise"

    Wow, this was my exact opinion of my Pack. Trust Steve, but until I see some nice Gretzski or HOF's....I'm on the fence!!

    I'm looking for #230 if anybody pulls one.

    Thanks!
  • 5 packs and no stars seems weird. I wouldnt be too happy.
  • I'm being completely honest when I say that I swore to myself I'd never buy another pack after ripping some hockey last winter. In one of the packs I found a piece of gum broken in half, and one half was flipped opposite the other.

    I know Steve's a great guy and his honesty isn't being questioned. But I questioned nearly half the 36 packs I bought and then the gum happened.
  • jimradjimrad Posts: 2,777 ✭✭✭
    In correspondence with Steve he expressed complete confidence in the box and the case it came from.

    I've been following this thread, as I really wanted to take part in the rip - but couldn't swing it this time around. However, now I'm curious to know how the rest of the packs turned out. Any Gretzky sightings?

    Some packs went to Canada so the shipping time will be longer. Hopefully a big hit or two is coming - maybe Trent!!!

    Got my packs today. The seals were fine. And the packs are 100% legit like steve said. No gretzky. But the cards inside were not as bad as I was expecting. about half of them were oc but not terrible. Then there were several with decent centering and a maybe 1 that has a chance at a 10.
    Thanks for doing this.
    Great stuff.
  • Sorry to hear no one found the great one.

    No mail for me yet. If it's not here by thursday I may have to wait a month or two before I can rip and share.
  • I'll add my want list for extras too to complete my set.

    29 36 46 49 62 75 81 100 123 132 146 160 171 172 175 185

    There may be some stars, but not completely sure.

    Let me know what you have. Thanks.

    All the crops are off here now so I'm heading east to get my nets back in the water. I need a couple thousand pounds to fill my quota before hockey gets into full swing.


    Farming, fishing and image
  • where are you fishing and for what?


  • << <i>where are you fishing and for what? >>




    Lake Winnipeg, just straight pickeral or walleye, whatever you want to call them, lol.

    << <i>just straight pickeral >>


    He won't let the ghey one's in his "fishnets".

    Edit, had a great picture, but decided against it.
  • Good luck, you fish them in the winter too?
  • I was going to fish this winter, but I never got my gear ready like I planned. I'm just getting started and only have a 5000 lb quota right now, so it's almost like a hobby.

    I was told the nets are coming up light so I think I'll give the cards til the weekend, or monday (fingers crossed).

  • Trent, freeze some of those walleye and ship them my way....might just make me a hockey fan.
  • Pretty funny that a search for a Gretzky rookie turned into a conversation about fishing.
  • If you have ever had Lake Winnipeg Pickerel you would know why. Best there is.

    Just PM'ed the pic. Trent will be busy for awhile, I'm sure he'll get back to us later though.

    Any chance he was covered in a 79 Topps wrapper?
  • Big80sBig80s Posts: 2,758 ✭✭✭
    He wasn't Gem Mint, but still seemed to be hi grade. Not to mention his seats were centered nicely.

    Trent, would you be happy with a .36 of a gretzky? might be something barf would like. i mean, nobody wants to see wayne's stick cut any shorter.
