Busted a Topps run of '77-'84...

I opened two packs of each year from '77-'84. The card gods were definitely NOT on my side this time, as only the '78 had anything worth subbing. But it did yield a couple of nice ones:

I think they both have a legit shot at 10, corners are perfect. There was a really nice '78 Lou Brock Record Breaker too, but it was the wax card.

2.5 is pretty much my speed.

    Best of luck with the submission. Is that a spot on the white border to the right of Tim Jones' neck?
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    Thanks, Doug. Luckily, it's not on the card. Must've been dust or something. Sorry for the crap phone pics, as usual. image

    Sharp cards! A PSA 10 Morris would more than pay for those packs!

    They're in sleeves and CS 1's now. That was just what I had at the time. Don't hate...

    I don't think the Hernandez is gem mint 10 material but the Morris does have a shot. Good luck!

    Grote, is there a slight tilt to Hernandez? Not sure if my eyes are playing with me or not...

    Yes there is. Sharp card either way. More like a 9.

    Bummer, you can't really see it in person. But then when I stare at the screen, I see it. Rats.

    Mavl that Morris though is a blazer, hope it comes back Gem!!!

    The reality is we've seen a lot worse tilts in 10's as far as the Hernandez goes.

    Good Luck!!

    Hey Jarrod,

    I hope you hit paydirt on that 1978 Morris. Maybe he'll get in the HOF this time and you will be poised for a big payoff. Good luck. image

    If I sent it in to PSA now, do you think it'll pop before the next HOF election?

    These are good years to bust. For the most part the cards are unattractive and there are still thousands upon thousands of unopened packs left to be opened. They're not all that rare.

    Now those who open say 75 and earlier? That's a little different.
