    Nice, thanks for sharing.

    Luis A could be worth $$ if centered nicely as he's a corner card and Ralph L. has a variation. JOhn

    John, was it a legit pack from the sequence?

    Hope you pulled t least a couple centered cards, Toro!

    That explains why it was the worst OC, 85-15.....the rest weren't too bad. It was kinda live but worthless because I don't have a scanner. I did a crappy video but that wont get posted until a later date.
  • ToroToro Posts: 1,515
    I would have to say it was legit because it was so sequenced.......however it was GAI(old label) and the risk is always there with them. The cello came off like it was "old". haha
  • 1neatstuff1neatstuff Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭
    actually having the older gai label is better than the new one..i myself would never buy with the new gai label but i would chance it with the older gai labels just my take from experience

    image Thanks for sharing the rip Toro.

    Are you going to sub any of them?

    Yes, I'll be sending them all. Likely PSA 8's with a couple 7's for slight edge imperfections. I may get lucky with a nine on a couple of them. I think the Aparicio is a 7, the Ralph L has the option statement and looks like a 7(edge issue).

    *edited to correct variation

    Wow, what a cool pack to open! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. The Aparicio looks nice!
    2.5 is pretty much my speed.

    Tim, you know me well. Yes it was completely legit, 2 logical runs of 6 cards each (wax packs had 6 cards each that year).
