An Unofficial Forum "Registry" - The "TOPPS 10" Racks: Post your Top 3 Topps rac

Was PMing with Tim earlier today about the Munson rack. He was saying that it was the most amazing one he had ever seen.
I said that it was certainly "up there" but that he had posted several that I found to be in the same level of the stratosphere.
Eventually this led us in the direction of what 10 packs were the most amazing ones that still exist today, and out of that came
an idea that might be fun for all of us.
What if we have everyone post front and rear photos of their favorite Topps Rack packs that they own (no more than 3 per person), and
then we pick the "Topps 10" (top 10) out of all the candidates submitted. Then each year in the future we can have photos
of any new candidate racks posted and re-vote them with the existing "Topps 10", thus giving the chance to get some new
"blood" into it and also re-juggle the positions based on public opinion.
If this works we can then do a similar one for cello packs (not sure it would work well with wax packs or vending boxes).
THE ONLY RULE: NO CHRISTMAS RACKS ALLOWED. MUST BE ORIGINAL, TOPPS-PACKAGED PRODUCTS IN ORDER TO QUALIFY
Once all pack photos are posted I'll create a ballot of some kind and everyone gets to vote for their choice at #1, #2, #3, ..., #10.
I'll work out the approach for tie-breakers (in case we need any).
And don't just assume that you need star power in order to make it. There must be some unusual combinations out there that
many of us would rank highly. For example, what about:
- all cards on the front from the same team
- world series opponents from that year showing together
- AL and NL MVP from that year both showing
- etc. (whatever else that you think makes that rack "special")
Just add you rack pack photos to this thread. Anyone can submit photos and anyone can vote.
We'll let this go a few days and see how the submissions go. Once they calm down we'll set a cut-off time and get tthe ballot
together and start the voting.
This should be a chance to see some really awesome racks. If anyone has ideas on what else we can do to make this more
enjoyable just PM me and we'll try to accomodate them.
