This has brought back some memories. The stale smell of the gum, the fresh cardboard, eagerly looking through packs. I have popped thousands of these but it's been years and years since I opened an unopened pack. Good to know there is a reliable source out there as these were really clean. Just another reason I'm glad I joined this forum

The centering isn't too great, but the subject matter is awesome!!
I'll post my cellos and my other rack pack later but I had to get this one up now.

Sweet pack Mark!

Besides the Bench/Garvey rack pack, I did get these two flip side cellos.
All-in-all, I'm very happy with my packs. Thanks to Mark for the idea and the work, and thanks to Steve and his staff for finding some great unopened material for us to have fun with.

I opened everything except for one '81 BB rack pack which has a Tim Raines RC showing on the back. One of the '84 FB racks had LT showing on the front but I ripped it anyway. Got an Elway RC (maybe an 8, likely a 7), and a Montana (8). '81 BB yielded a nice Rickey Henderson and a few other decent cards. '82, '83, and '01 BB were a bust. Nothing amazing, but a fun rip.

Isn't that like the 4th Elway rookie that has been pulled?
The 83's yielded nothing until the 2nd to last card...which was one of the nicest Ripkens I've seen
The 84's were really clean and it seems like the stars I got were the nicest. I got a Dickerson, Roger Craig, and the one I'm most interested in is a Walter Payton that is gorgeous. This is a notoriously tough card to get in high grade.
I will be submitting a total of 5 cards: The 82 Lott The 84 Craig The 84 Payton The 84 Dickerson The 83 Ripken
I am always disappointed by what I get back from PSA, so I will try to not be too optimistic, but it's hard to find much wrong with these 5. I'll be disappointed if I don't get a 10
Thanks so much to everyone, that was a blast. I'll post what I get back from PSA

Well, okay, since this fell off the front page, and while we wait for the mailman to arrive today, here are two more cellos from yesterday.
I only ordered two 1983 cellos and both came with "Super Veteran" cards on top. So, in addition to the Bench/Garvey rack, and the Gossage and Dawson back cellos, I got these Phil Niekro and Don Sutton top packs.

OK, time to share a little. Was a blast ripping most of the stuff, left some un-opened(very tough to do, afterall they did put them in packs to be opened). I got a few cello's that have stars on the front or back. I did buy 2 packs of all the baseball, and football offered. Here is some pics. Both the 82 Topps football cellos, remain sealed, one has Phil Sims on the front, the other some guy Named Walter Payton on the back. Couple of picks of some of the nicer cards. The baseball was loaded with minty fresh stars and commons. Mark

Just received my cards today, 2 packs each of 2001, '81, '82, '83 Topps.
I have some pretty good luck with the 2001 baseball. Last group rip, I pulled a Gold Pujols rookie and this time I pulled the Pujols/Ichiro. Definitely looks good! I'll post scans tomorrow sometime.
With the other 6 packs, the best I pulled was an '83 Rose.
I enjoyed the rip and thank you for putting this together.
I haven't read every word on the last few pages, but if not one has mentioned the 79 OPC packs. I bought 2. One had Ryan on the back and will remain unopened. The other was awful! Only one card was not ruined by the gum.
Leave your 79 OPC unopened.

Have not checked the rest of the thread cause I don't want to douse my sky-high hopes of getting some lil darlings, but I just got around to opening my package to check my '82 fball cellos and '84 fball racks for stars t/b. Without even opening I'm pretty happy as I found this:

Upon further examination I found a Marino rookie on the back of one of the 84 cellos.

Wow, Steve must have bought a collection where the original owner set these to the side. Very, very nice. So many Marino's and Elways showing up on breaks and star/rookies front and back. I cant wait to get mine. The way things are going, I'll have a Marino on front of each of my racks, a Fernando on front of my 81 racks and a Ozzie on the back of my 79 OPC pack. I'll probably pull a Pujols Gold rookie also!

Sorry, I pulled the Pujols gold rookie on the last group rip.....
Good luck though, that would be awesome if you pull it!
I'm a bit late to the party but I finally had a chance to look more closely at my packs and I received a few pretty nice packs from this break as well. One of my '82 Cellos has a Pete Rose in action on the back and a Graig Nettles in action on the front. My two '78 OPC packs had Steve Garvey and Pete Rose record breaker on the backs.
