I'm swearing off unopened stuff!!

If anyone catches me buying unopened stuff to look for gems, please have me committed to the nearest crazy house.

Just went through a 1986 OPC baseball vending case and did not find one (no, not even one) gradable card!!! I know that's a tough set and vending sucks, but geez! Also opened ten boxes of 1988 leaf and found no gradable stars. I'm not writing this because I'm surprised. I'm writing this because I know how this crap goes, but continue to order the stuff!!! At least it's dirt cheap material I'm opening.

Anyone else have a problem and need help?

    I successfully quit gambling, but quitting busting unopened packs may be impossible - I'm not even gonna try. image

    Now that I'm thinkin' about it, I believe I hear a Walmart A&G blaster calling me. LOL

    I spend perhaps around $100 a year on blasters...that used to be one bet for me gambling.

    To me the blasters and getting cards is like spending money on a hobby...but you can call it whatever your little heart desires. LOL

    Does 1986 OPC come in rack packs? I've never seen it. I've opened some wax, just as crappy.

    I hadn't really planned on it, but I have about 8000 cards laying around now. How many are you interested in? I might could get my son to put some together. This set is tough, I'm guessing maybe NM-MT sets at best.

    Bubbles,

    I have what was called OPC vending cases when I bought them for 83, 84, 85, and 87. They are labeled as cut card cases and I bought them from Steve Myland back in the years listed. There is no year on the cases but they do say OPC on them.

    The first step is to admit that you're powerless over the unopened and that your life has become unmanageable image

    First, I admit there is a higher power, and it's name is GEM.
