    I don't have much in the way of unopened, but I am proud of this Alvaro rack. I saved up for a long time to buy this one.
    Luckily Alvaro is in the middle sleeve, so I don't suspect this pack has been tampered with.

    Wow, you got that one cheap. People were probably concerned because it wasn't graded. I think you should bust the Espinoza out as it looks like it has a shot at a 10. I hope Scott doesn't stumble onto this thread. I've got 2 1987 rack boxes which I'll be checking to see if I hit an Alvaro too!!! With my luck, I probably have a bunch of Barry Bonds racks. image

    well my man Jose...you beet me to the punch as that was what I was planning!

    beautiful '73 Schmidt rack. Guess mine will remain unseen !!

    Someone has to come up with an idea for a different theme.......

    Grote...correct! PM your addy so I can get the surprise out to you
  • aconteaconte Posts: 2,053 ✭✭✭
    Holy smokes Jose!

    I would say I am stunned with the picture but with all the stuff you seem to have I seem just numb to it all.
    That Schmidt would be the new favorite for sure!

    My day 4 contribution....a very nice GEM!

    Great looking Ryan rack Manny!!!

    It also works as I already showed a 1968 rack pack (No Ryan though image). Trying to show different years each day, for now anyway. I've got a boatload of 1975 racks so eventually everyone is going to get sick and tired of those rainbow colors. Nice to mix it up a bit.

    5th submission to the thread---nothing overly exciting in terms of the year, but 2 HOF rookie cards ain't too shabby !!!

    and how many rated rookie cards are all you guys sitting on ???????????? I always liked the Donruss Rated Rookie cards though. Especially 1984

    Alright! Lots of nice eye candy here. Guess I'm going to have to go through my '80s racks to see if there's anything worth sharing. They're in a wooden box here someplace...
  • HoofHeartedHoofHearted Posts: 2,537 ✭✭
    I've got a lot of mid- to late-80s stuff with a few Roses, Ryans, etc. Nothing compared to what's being shared here. Maybe I do have a rare Tri-Terry rack that would go for big bucks?

    or how about an ultra rare 1982T grocery rack pack?

    Ask and ye shall receive! Here's an '89 Fleer basketball rack I bought in the early '90s for $7.50. (Any one have any idea what this isn't worth today? lol) The key cards (at the time) were the Kevin Johnson on the front and Danny Manning on back.

    wow! I am glad that I started this post. There just was not enough love for Racks----image

    Jose--2 !! Munson Rookie Racks. I am beginning to think that you may be close to the legendary jerseyfive in terms of product. That's heady company my friend.

    And racks do not have to be vintage or expensive to be posted here. That triple "terry" rack is cool.

    And yes we like the love from the other sports. Hockey you say? OK Tim. Here is a very rare piece that I got from Steve at the Cleveland National in '08. He had seen only 2 at the time and had sold the 1st. I took the 2nd. No Gretzky showing but what a nice Wax Tray !! Couldn't scan in 1 pic, so sorry for the multiple...

    Note that there are a total of 4 wax packs....

    Nice Basketball rack we see too few of those in my opinion and I definately think if you are patient you could get your $7.50 back out of that rack.

    Very cool hockey racks. I've seen pictures of those 4 OPC hockey wax pack racks, but never knew anyone who had one. Definitely something I would pick up if I saw it, great job Manny!!!

    Jose, the 1975-76 are one of my favorites, all those are two beauties to have. image

    That's a name from the past. Growing up on Long Island, I used to go to many NY Nets ABA/NBA games back in the very early 70's until they moved to New Joisey. Louie could shoot the three as well as any of them!
