1986 Topps Football Rack Box Rip !!

Bought this one last week on ebay '86 Topps Rack Box from a seller that doesn't sell sportscards. The box was opened with 24 packs and everyone speculated that the box was searched, etc....Well, sometimes you just have to gamble a little and realize that not everyone is up to speed on the hobby as a whole.

The seller included a Jerry Rice game used jersey card with note attached that said he kept the card from another buy he made and was including it in case I didn't get a Jerry Rice Rookie.

The packs were beautiful. The cards nearest the top tag were almost all off center, the ones in the middle had pretty good centering, and the ones on the end of the racks were great. I opened 17 racks. Out of the 17, I got 2 Rice's (1 OC and 1 probably an 8), 3 Reggie White's (1 dead centered), 3 Boomer Esiason's (2 dead centered), 2 Bruce Smith's (both OC), and all of the other stars including an Elway, Marino, 2 Dorsett's, 2 Taylor's, 2 Largents, and others that are possible 10's. I also got around 60 other commons and minor stars that have shots at 10.

Here is the coolest part of the rip though, the 7 racks that haven't been opened.

1st up one with Marino on back and one with Marcus Allen on front and Steve Largent on back

Next, one with Montana on front and one with Esiason Rookie on front and Elway on back, both in the nicely centered slot

The last 2, one with Reggie White Rookie on front and one with Steve Young Rookie on back, again, both in the nicely centered outer slot.

The last of the 7 Racks I didn't rip has Gerald Riggs in the outer slot and both Rice Rookie's followed the Riggs card and colation was pretty predictable so I may do a video of that rip.
Here are some scans

  • Are you willing to sell some non gradeable rookies and commons. I am interested in the oc Rice and the better rice.

    Nice rip. I'm not really into football, but I do like '84 and '86 Topps because of the rookies of the players I grew up with. Enjoy tonight's rip!
    2.5 is pretty much my speed.
  • OMG those are beautifull
