    Great 1968 rack pack Manny. I love those racks!!! image

    Jose, that is probably one of the most impressive rack packs shown so far. The 71 racks are by far the hardest to find and to have two stars on top...Awesome!!!

    WOW!!!!!!! My new favorite rak, been looking for a series 2 rak forever, thanks for posting.

    Current obsession, all things Topps 1969 - 1972

  • flatfoot816flatfoot816 Posts: 2,194 ✭✭✭
    once again Topps stuff Jose!!

    here is a little something that I picked up many moons ago when this guy's rookie card was one of the hottest out there. I pad $350 for this rack--image--and had to BEG the dealer to sell it to me.

    Man what could have been........

    image

    just a reminder that a rack does not have to be expensive or vintage to post here...have a good day men

    And BTW--there is an "Airplane" the movie reference here....no prizes for getting it, but do you see it?

    Looks like Tuesdays are bad days for posting racks. image

    Since we saw Manny and Jose's beautiful 1970 Munson racks as well as that 1974 Munson cello on the other thread, here is my contribution to the cause.

    Jose, I don't think many people realize how hard it is to find these 1983 Donruss rack packs and to get one with 2 stars on it like yours is almost impossible to find. Great looking rack!!! I will take the time to scan these individually at some points, but here is a picture of a few of mine.

    Those are beautiful racks Jose especially the Ripken, Sandberg one. I'm a big fan of those 83 Donruss racks. If you ever decide to sell any of them, just let me know.

    I just have to say this is a great thread. I love seeing the old Racks I use to rip open. I have a few Racks with stars on top but nothing that comes close to what you guys are posting.

    Manny, I just wanted to say that not much impresses anymore these days with regards to unopened product but your Yaz rack is truly a gem. As you know there are a lot of counterfeit '60s racks out there but this one is the REAL deal. And having been in the unopened hobby for 10 years this pack is truly one of my all-time favorites and I am most envious of it!!! Congrats on owning such a treasure.image

    Great racks everyone and I'm not talking about your chests. image

    Since we are stuck in the 80's, I figured I'd bust this one out.

    As most of youknow, the majority of my good stuff is gone. However, I found a few racks with stars showing. Nothing very valuable, but I figured I'd throw 'em up:

  • I have really enjoyed the numerous racks posted. There are some amazing collections on this board.

    Here are two nonsports racks. They are from the 1972 music set "Hitmakers." It featured various rock, country and R&B performers.

  • cpamikecpamike Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭
    Great classic racks Doug!!! At one time, that Strawberry and Gooden were big bucks. Too bad things don't work out the way we hoped they would.

    Packman, thanks for the change of pace. I do vaguely remember seeing those packs as a kid. Were the Beatles included in that set or were they just American bands?

    Thanks for the link. What was up with Steve Miller and the mask? Based on the card number, I'm assuming that was one of the test cards.

    Great stuff. Looking forward to more racks and let's keep it clean. image

    Jose, I assume you mean this rack:

    I must not have looked at this box in 25 years becuase I did not remember who else was showing on some of these rack packs. Out of the 24 racks in the box, 12 have at least 1 hall of famer showing, in some way (not counting team cards) showing on the top or bottom.
    If interested I can show the others. I guess this box really was unopened and unsearched when I bought it but I cannot find the purchase shown on my records so that means it was probably 82 or earlier. Here is a picture of the box:
