    Great job, all holdered. Did any have tears from the gum? That's my biggest fear and why I haven't submitted any of my packs for grading.

    Thanks, fellas, I appreciate the kind words!

    Great job, all holdered. Did any have tears from the gum? That's my biggest fear and why I haven't submitted any of my packs for grading.

    No tears on any wax packs, I'm happy to report! The lower grade packs had slight tears or imperfections before I sent them in.

    I''m going to post some scans in a little bit!

    Here are some scans!

    First up: 1975 OPC wax with Palmer on back

    image

    1978 Topps cello with smudge-less Molly on top!

    image

    1975 Topps cello with Kaline RB on top (I love the recordbreaker cards from the 75 set):

    image

    One of all-time favorites, 1975 mini cello with Rose on top and Fingers on back:

    image

    1975 Topps cello with Haqmmerin' Hank on top. I've seen many 75 cellos with #660 Aaron on top, but the #1 card is much tougher, it seems:

    1975 mini wax with Ryan RB card showing face out on back:

    Tim , Great looking packs. The only "bad" thing that I could think of , was how the 75's reminded me of "Uncle fester --- Gary ".

    1 more time those are incredible packs!

    No offense Muggyman.

    I know you were on here, but is the power blast of cards, bids, unopened packs, that collection losing strength.

    I miss your Video's and fun. It made half the BS here go away. Come on Muggs what's been kicking??

    Grote I am very jealous. You the man!

    Sonny, don't worry, these mini wrappers will not be a part of any bar collection, LOL..
