August Special Popped

2cardguys

Got my August Special in at the deadline and received today... submission 1 0f 2 popped and I was pretty happy with most of the grades. I am building a 1976 Topps set of 9's and tens and was hoping for all 9's ... the two tens were a plus... the seven 8's were a disappointment, but having them in hand in a holder sometimes helps you pick up some of the problems... a few will go the crack and sub route...

Most of these cards came from group rips and extras I picked up from BBCE when paying for the rips, some of the newer things were from Topps Corporate Site pick ups... and a few were from my personal collection...

The miscuts and EOT along with about 6- 8 others will find their way back for another shot... was shocked at the 7's but upon closer inspection I can agree with some of them....all in all happy with the majority of the grades.. now if the smaller submission will just pop....
