PSASAP · December 27, 2010 9:28AM

I was saving this pack to open on Christmas, but I ended up waiting until today for the opening. This is my first time posting a rip, so please bear with me.

Tool of the trade:

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 9:31AM

The notch is made:

vladguerrero · December 27, 2010 9:32AM

I hacksaw right through to be safe... Good Luck!

swartz1 · December 27, 2010 9:34AM

cant wait for the action shots...

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 9:35AM

Freed from plastic incarceration:

zep33 · December 27, 2010 9:37AM

and I was just about to shut off the PC and go watch a movie on the couch - not now

good luck!!

vladguerrero · December 27, 2010 9:37AM

sweet, can i have the case so i can put in a pack of 91 OPC and sell it as a 71 OPC on eBay?

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 9:38AM

The pack in its manger, how appropriate for the season.

zep33 · December 27, 2010 9:40AM

hope you pull an auto!!

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 9:40AM

Naked pack alert!

daddymc · December 27, 2010 9:41AM

Tease.

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 9:42AM

Your door is ajar!

vladguerrero · December 27, 2010 9:43AM

nice and tight back side...

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 9:45AM

Soon to be a major motion picture:

Oops! Accidentally gave away some of the suspense!

zep33 · December 27, 2010 9:46AM

All our posts should be in both English and French in this thread

Tous nos poteaux devraient être dans anglais et le Français en cela fil

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 9:48AM

Oui oui!

vladguerrero · December 27, 2010 9:48AM

Bonne chance mon ami!

J'espere que tu trouve un beau Ken Henderson!

BunchOBull · December 27, 2010 9:48AM

Blasphemy.

I need a PSA 9.

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 9:51AM

Well centered Kendu:

vladguerrero · December 27, 2010 9:52AM

Are you wearing your lucky shirt for this rip Buddy?

Bosox1976 · December 27, 2010 9:54AM

May I have some vinegar for my fries please?

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 9:55AM

Sorry Vlad, I wish I had been. BTW, I'll try to scan the Maria Elena Holly COA tonight and email it to you with a picture of the shirt.

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 9:56AM

Gotta love malt vinegar with fries!

vladguerrero · December 27, 2010 9:56AM

The man who would be King:

daddymc · December 27, 2010 9:57AM

Never mind the cards. How's the gum taste???

swartz1 · December 27, 2010 9:59AM

lets see Willie...

swartz1 · December 27, 2010 10:00AM

or at least a Phillie shortstop...

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 10:02AM

Strange, but the gum tastes like escargot.

Now, back to the countdown:

daddymc · December 27, 2010 10:03AM

Is it me or is the centering getting progressively worse?

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 10:06AM

You're right about that. The cards are either hardcore Dems or Repubs. Way too far to the left or right.

vladguerrero · December 27, 2010 10:06AM

It's funny (or not) I was just checking out the pop reports and thought, I wonder if Jerry Da Vannon is Jeff Da Vannon (former Angels player) 's father? The next card you pulled was Jerry...

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 10:08AM

Did not know: Cuellar and McNally combined for 48 wins in 1970, wow!

scotgreb · December 27, 2010 10:12AM

The 1971 Os had four 20+ game winners -- including Cuellar and McNally.

Too bad they lost to Clemente and the Bucs

Yes Jeff is Jerry's son.--- Sonny

Glad to see the administrative error has been fixed, now back to our regularly scheduled programming:

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 10:20AM

Decently (for '71 OPC) centered, 2nd year Larry Bowa:

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 10:21AM

Two cards left, the suspense is killing me!

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 10:26AM

Nice Ted Simmons rookie card:

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 10:29AM

And to wrap it up, not with a bang but a whimper:

ThoseBackPages · December 27, 2010 10:36AM

VERY well presented!

please do this again anytime you feel like

leathtech · December 27, 2010 10:37AM

I agree thanks for posting!

vladguerrero · December 27, 2010 11:13AM

Thanks for sharing, my biggest fear is to but a vintage pack and then discover once opening that a corner bump destroyed the stack of cards, at least it doesn't look like that happened to you.

RipublicaninMass · December 27, 2010 11:26AM

looked like very little chipping, especially for 71's!

thanks for posting

Dboneesq · December 27, 2010 11:30AM

Thanks for the RIP ... your results are about the same as the couple that I have done on this board!

jmoran19 · December 27, 2010 11:35AM

Thanks for sharing! Added bonus, the gum didn't damage any of the cards or the booklet, big bonus.

PSASAP · December 27, 2010 11:39AM

Thanks for the cool comments guys. Swartz, you're Kreskin-like in your demand for a Phillie shortstop. Kinda spooky!

metrotheme · December 27, 2010 11:41AM

PSA - Inbox sent.

grote15 · December 27, 2010 12:01PM

Thanks for sharing! 70s OPCs are brutal on centering...they should be worth 10X the value of Topps!
