I thought I might follow up my good fortune yesterday with another rack pack rip, albeit this one with a much lower risk/reward ratio, and settled in on a 1979 Topps baseball rack pack. The rack was really clean and the cards were very sharp and clean, better than usual. As an added bonus, I got 41 cards instead of the advertised 39, LOL! I am slowly putting together a graded set consisting solely of self-submitted cards, so I was pleasantly surprised. Here are some of the pulls:

The Grote card was not showing. Otherwise, I'd sold it as a rack with a star on top, LOL..

+1 Man!
Sell the next mini rack to me too.
I know the Mets are gonna suck this year but you will need to come up with a better way to cure your
boredom during the Spring and Summer rather than rip these beauties.....
....actually it is 79 baseball so that is not that big a deal!
aconte
Don't worry, I will PM you to sell more when I scratch this ripping itch...it usually takes about 3-4 days to subside!
BBG, thanks for kind words! I am hoping that I have a couple of 10s in this group for sure!

Sweet.
Post. Scans. Now.
Here's the first set of four cards. The Winfield is really nice and perfectly centered on back, too. I'm very excited about that as it's one of the tougher cards in the set and a HOFer to boot:

Mini wax packs contain 10 cards, but I'm scanning only the better looking cards in groups of 4.

Mike, do you know that after 40 years, cards kept in packs will start to fade away to blank squares of cardboard?
Next group of 4...I remember George Stone throwing to Grote back in the day!

Lies, lies, and more lies!!! I will not do it although come to think of it, I don't collect 75 minis. Rip away my friend!!!
BTW, these cards are beauties so I can see why you are ripping them, don't agree with it, but understand.

HAHAHAHAHA ... yup, it's true. They wear from the center of the card and work their way toward the edges. Here is a Carlton that I just got from a recent rip.

I'm halfway kidding of course, but I do believe in the fun aspect of ripping this vintage stuff. I'm so competitive and have played sports all my life, now I need that outlet or the adrenaline rush of poker, gambling on golf/stocks, and yes, opening higher end packs. To each his own I guess, but if I hit the lottery or become the next Mark Cuban I can gaurantee that the unopened supply of vintage will go WAY down, lol.
