    Ok, now going through the 1976's. These are just unreal! 1500+ singles all pack fresh! They were probably touched once and put in a box...
    Check a few out...

    No BS, I just got done going through the 76's and pulled 176 cards that have PSA 9/10 quality. Im sure I missed on a a couple or a few that end up 8's but these cards are just SICK!

    Just went through about 6000 gray back opc 1981's. About 75% of them were o/c. I took them anyways. Figured I would do ok with the better centered cards
    and the fact that they were from crisp from vending. Here are my Bretts..OUCH! Most of the stars looked like this but not all. Also got 51 Schmidts that look like the Bretts..

    Going to space it out. Cant see myself spending over 4k in grading fees all at once. Plus the fact I dont want
    to kill the pop report on some of the cards I have qty on...

    A good question would be why do these dealers/people have all this OPC stuff laying around untouched and un-sifted through? Do they not know about grading? Do they not know that OPC cards are starting to heat up? Do they not know that vintage ANYTHING has value, regardless of whether or not they are OPC? Where the heck did you find this stuff?

    Tom ... I never understood how someone could grade the corners on those rough cut OPCs. NO WAY you can tell if there is a slight touch on some of those. Does this make it easier for an OPC to find its way into a "10" slab?

    No not at all. Infact I think it makes it harder. I will say that the cuts in my opinion stand out more by looking on the backside of the cards. A good example is the 73's.
    The black on the backside will look like it has a sharp cut even though it may be rough on the edge. Kind of hard to explain but you may have an idea what im saying?

    I have a couple 1977 Dave Parkers that have that very rough edge that have come back PSA 8's. I have also seen cards with the same cut come back as 10's.
    So I guess in a way, I dont even know what to look for. But im sure that it does NOT make it any easier

    Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all "right-thinking" people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

    This is known as “bad luck.”
