The only question left is...

Which one of these should I rip first tonight?

Hadn't busted anything in a while, just got a nice little BBCE package in the mail - with only 3 days shipping to Norway!

the baseball is 71 OPC - Ryan series. Thinking of keeping that one sealed though.

    You know you don't want it to sit on the shelf driving you crazy about what Gem 10 might be waiting inside!

    Use the Hockey as the appetizer, the 71 OPC as the main course, and the FB as a nice dessert.

    let's see, there's a time zone difference....carry the one, and i think the answer is 'every day is Xmas in Norway because all the oil are belong to us'. a crazy place here. makes me wish the states had a sovereign wealth fund for our AK and gulf resources.

    back to business.

    I think i'll go with an 85 OPC starter. and anything I don't sub I'll just give away to you raw collectors. 71 pack calls for a contest though, I'll think of something.

    As my pops once told me, opening less than four packs is bad luck.

    and the main event....

    i'm going one card at a time!
  • mikliamiklia Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭
    the wax card..

    image

    anyone had any luck taking the wax off the back with the nylon trick? card is great - sharp corners, beautiful centering, no nicks, nice rough cut (tilt is from my camera). if the rest of the pack is anything like this, I might pick up another.

    Also, my VCP ran out a while back - what do PSA 8/9 commons go for approx?

    I just got my tax refund. Maybe I will buy a 71 OPC pack....

    GOOD LUCK!
