While Ive had a real nice 1983 Topps Football set for years, I decided as I have with most of my sets, to take it to another level of absolute centered Mint cards through out
down to the last common.
I tried a lot from NEC, Only to find out what I really already knew. Lots of "Minty" Cards but centering was poor on the vast majority and basically cards
that didn't get subbed for 4-Sharp corners.
Next started breaking out 9's and 10's Allen Rookie, Singletary, MacMahon, Dorsett..... Then refused to give stupid prices for many of the semi stars and Commons.
Next step..... Get them direct from the source..... BBCE WAX
Just the thrill of opening wax packs and smelling the gum was worth the price of addmisson! Yes I got alot duds, but I also pulled many pristine cards as well.
just the type I was looking for.
So to date I have riiped two Wax boxes as well as a Cello box and have yet to achive the complete centered pristine Mint set I started out to complete.
Im not interested in wasting any time or money on grading on a modern set like the 83, but I have pulled some of the many cards that I strongly feel
are 9, 10 quality Mint cards.
I am interested in finding others who have possibly ripped 83's and sitting on the same 9,10 quality cards willing to trade. Also would consider selling any
of the cards to help finnace the cards I still seek for my set. Im a strict, pickey condition freak so I need to see any cards you may have that you feel might
meet my needs.

From that stack, I had these from your list:
26 RC Thielmann, 147 Max Runager, 162 Pat Tilley, 199 Joe Theismann & 362 Franco Harris
I would be interested in either the first or second Marcus Allen RC you have pictured. My 09 box break netted me 1 Marcus Allen, subbed it and got a PSA 10... have since sold it. The two boxes I busted at the National this year only netted me 1 Marcus... 65/35 L/R centering... resides in my set. Wouldn't mind a nicer one.
WTB: PSA 1 - PSA 3 Centered, High Eye Appeal 1950's Mantle
Thanks for the response! Both the Allens are very nice. I would rather you look at them in person.
Would you happen to have decent #171 Nehemiah(49ers) #173 Wersching(49ers) in ANY of your doubles? Not necessarily from you grading stack.
Could you post scans of the cards you have?
I would be willing to just send you both of the Allen Rookies. If you find one is acceptable I would trade it for the cards you listed and the two 49ers cards above if you have them anywhere in your doubles.
You could just send the other Allen back with the other cards.
LMK your Mailing address if you would be interested in persuing this trade.
Thanks!

I busted a cello box a few years ago from the BBC Exchange. I'm not very familar with 83's, I mostly wanted a peyton, mcmahon, singletary. Some of the other ones are pretty cool, like the Montana Record Breaker.
I'll have to look through the box again, how minty mint do you want them? I have some on your list that look like the Neal Olkewicz, with a little bit of "fuzz" on the upper right corner. It looks like the back of the card wasn't cut right.
And a few look like the Harold Carmichael. The upper left corner. It looks like a little bit of wear, it doesn't come to the same exact corner as the other ones.
The ones I have that look very good
21 Kenn
182 Lee roy Selmon
185 Doug Williams
193 Art Monk? Maybe an 8.5
307 Plunkett.
325 Julius Adams
330 John Hannah. 9, 10? I don't know.
366 Stallworth
378 Kelcher. 2 of them.
How many 9's or 10's would you expect out of a cello box?
Do you have anything else for trade besides 83's?
Thanks for the response,
Im more looking for dead on blazer cards more like the Steve Bartkowski, Everson Walls, Danny White, Eric Hipple, John Jefferson, Matt Blair, Joe Senser, Harry Carson,
Dan Dierdorf, Scoring Leaders, Steeler Team, Gifford Neilson, Cliff Branch, Bob Kuechenberg, Joe Klecko and Dan Fouts from my listed scans.
I had much better luck with the wax boxes than I did with the Cello box.
Take Care
John
