The mailman brought me a few nice things. Which one to rip first? '75, '77, '79 or '80? EDIT: Results of the bust are pictured below.
Note the Sandberg rookie (back) in the '83 Topps grocery rack pack. Also second year Mattingly & Boggs cards showing too. And say what you want about '87 Topps, I love' em.
Sorry for the poor quality pics.

Evans is the gum card.
Best card in the pack, Gary Carter.
Good Luck!

Brooks is in really nice condition.
Well this looks like a common, right?
Ta-dah! Anyone know anything about '75 blank backs? Are they rare at all?
The Brooks Robinson looks well centered. How is the top left corner? It looks like it might have a slight ding there from the picture.
I wish I had an answer of the 1975 blank back. Hopefully someone else does have an idea as to how rare that is.
But I have promises to keep,

The Robinson corner looks better in person than in the photo. Quite sharp. What do you think, maybe a PSA 8? Conception's centerinng is dead on, looks like a 9, IMO.
Not sure what, if any, I'll grade. I just really like opening the packs, especially the cheap 80's ones.
These were my years as a kid.

Me too!

For the most part, no. I mostly remember opening '88-'91 with '89 being the main year. Although the first CARD I remember owning was an '81 Donruss.

I think the Brooks Robinson could get a PSA 8. Concepcion does look strong.
I haven't graded anything myself yet either as I like to collect the cards raw and put them in albums. As I'm sure others on the board could tell you, I don't like to open any vintage packs. I enjoy collecting them unopened.
Thanks for sharing your rip.

Me three, but '75 minis were at our local circle K.

I love the '81 Donruss -- especially the Carew/Brett combo card. That was the re-birth year of my BBC collecting life. My "kid" years were '62-'68 and then again from '81-'91.
