    Star-studded pack! Kranepool looks mint! Does PSA downgrade for the white print line along the the top?

    I have seen 9's with the line but not very often.

    no shortage of star power in that pack.
    Does the miscut Morgan occupy the same slot in the sequence that the other miscut card was in the first pack?

    Wowee!!! Nice pack. If you hit a Killebrew, lets talk.
    2.5 is pretty much my speed.

    Don't read too much into the sequence of the cards. I will say Ruiz always follows Rose.

    Man ... nice cards ... I wish the darn Rose and Banks were centered for you! Rose is a $350.00 card in a "9".

    Hey Chris, I knew you won't hold out the weekend, but only until early Saturday.

    Great job with both packs so far. It would be nice if this second pack's sequencing repeats itself a couple more times.

    Are you going through the packs as you rip them to see if anyone is showing through the wrapper, or did you do that first and already put those packs aside?

    Honestly Mike I have looked and can't see anything under the wrappers. Is the a trick to looking through the back?

    1970 packs are one of the tougher packs to see through for players showing on back.

    << <i>Honestly Mike I have looked and can't see anything under the wrappers. Is the a trick to looking through the back? >>



    I usually hold it up and use direct sunlight to try to see through. I don't have any 1970 wax packs so I don't know if they are more difficult to tell. Hopefully someone else has done it and knows if you can tell.

    Another thing I do is take my raw set out and since you know what series are in the packs, look for some distinctive feature and scan my raw set for a match. Hope this helps.

    Edited to add: Thanks for the input Grote!!! That's what I thought might be the answer.

    Direct sunlight or natural daylight is the best way to try and discern the name through the wrapper. That seems to work better than even magnification. If you know the design or portrait of the player, you can also make a pretty educated guess even if you can also make out a couple of letters.

    I would get pictures of the valuable cards in those series and have them on your desk as you go thru the packs. That should help you with determining if there are any valuable cards showing.

    thank you for sharing. i'd be thrilled to open a pack like that.
  • NikklosNikklos Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭
    Rose and Banks got 9(O/C). Bumping for the newbies.

    Too bad ... that Damn Rose card is so hard to get centered. Straight "9" sells for 8xs an o/c.

    There's all sorts of ways to piece together who is showing. If you can make out the home town, baseball almanac has a searchable database of all mlb players by home town. If you can make out the team name and a batting average it shouldn't be too hard to figure out from there. I once matched a card by the little trivia blurb Topps puts on the backs.

    It may be time consuming but piecing the puzzle together is part of the fun for me.

    I thought I'd seen it all on this forum, but this takes the cake. Busting 43 year old boxes. More money than sense, I guess.

    Good luck. ROTFLMAO
  • NikklosNikklos Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭
    Well in all fairness, it was only 41 years old when I opened it.
