Got my five packs, nothing terribly exciting. Five cards have the gum hermetically sealed to the back of the card. Already wrecked one trying to get it off, any thought on getting the others off clean or are those cards throw aways? Scans later
freezing it works sometimes. put it on a paper plate it the freezer for a half hour then try dropping it gum side down on a table. if the gum hasn't melted into the card it usually works well.
Thanks gameusedhoop, didnt work, if the gum did come off, it ripped the back of the card, shame, those were two of the better cards. Anyway, thanks for your help
ALRIGHT! Kids are put to bed... so my packs are dead meat!
Pack #1... NOT BAD!
Up first... the cards I will NOT be submitting:
That Lemaniujleilsdf card was the gum card.
... and these are the cards I will be submitting:
That MVP card is just about DEAD NUTS! Man am I glad it was the card in the middle of the pack! The Cey isn't bad... a little OC top-to-bottom, but not enough to get the qualified (I hope.)
That WS card is nice, but was the gum card... darn it. The Jackson/Rose MVP card might be my favorite of all the MVP cards in the set.. so I was happy to get it!... buuuut, that centering sucks.
... and the cards I'll submit:
The Hendricks is nice... just a common, but the only quality card in the pack. The Concepcion is OC, possibly a 7 but as a Reds fan I've always liked his cards.
You have Cey and Russell! If you get Garvey and Lopes, you get the whole 70s Dodger infield, and we would have to give you a prize for that! Maybe some Chris Sabos!
some great pulls so far! I cannot wait to get my packs -- I'm hoping to hit a Schmidt!
Can you soak the Fisk card to soften and then remove the gum?
I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

I'm trying the freezer trick someone suggested. So far, most of the gum has come off with great results. Putting back in the freezer for the rest of it. I've heard of cold hard cash before, but not cold hard cards.
My guess is that you'll see one Brett and one Yount at the most. I'll be pleasantly suprised if we see 2 or more of each, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

scans being done right now
I think you guys will be happy with this stuff!
I wont be happy if the Expos team card doesnt come back as a 10.
It is PERFECT!
will be subbing 15 cards out of the 10 packs... that I think have a shot at 9+
in the second grouping centering wasn't so great.. except one pack had great centering and perfect corners

Also, if the gum has stained through the card, just dump it, unless it is a star or home team

My 10th pack has the Nolan Ryan / Steve Carlton Strikeout Leaders card on the back. Do I open or grade it?
Nothing real noteworthy... but the centering is getting better!
first up, the cards I won't be submitting:
The Murcer was the gum card....darn it...
... and these three will be graded:

Only problem is that the Fisk has gum stuck to it and I can't get it off without tearing the paper on the back.
Can you soak the Fisk card to soften and then remove the gum?

Pack 1
The cards I wont be subbing
possibly subbing?
Pack 2 nothing worth scanning, severly OC!
pack four not submitting
possibly submitting need help!
Last pack nuthin worth scanning, o/c mcCovery was gum card
I'm not sure what's worse, being chased by a pack of rabid wolves or pulling a pack fresh Ryan with a crease?

It runs from the card border above the "T" down to Ryan's elbow.

I pulled the same card with the exact same crease. I wonder if it was a big problem with that card?
