Here is a message I just got from Steve. Someone is going to get lucky!!!!!! Just another example of why Steve is the best in the business.
Mark,
Let everyone on the boards know that 1 of the packs of 1980/81 Topps basketball has a Bird/Magic rookie showing on the back of the wax pack! I only point this out because it may be difficult to see if you don’t look very closely. I wouldn’t want someone to open the pack who maybe didn’t look good and would have probably kept that pack unopened. When Rick was looking at the roller seals on the back of the packs, the Bird/Magic was visible! Thanks, Steve

Mark, I'm a geek too!!!
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
Yeah, I wish I'd been part of this one, but I'm moving
in a couple of weeks and I was afraid of what might
happen with the mail.
Good luck to all!!

<< <i>Awesome!! Glad I could be part of this. Now lets break the 1970/71 Topps Basketball Unopened Series 2 Wax Box that Steve has and set some more records.

Jeff,
I already told Steve if he has the 70/71 basketball next month we are going to rip it.

I had the same problem with the last break. I called BBCE to pay and I asked them to hold the shipment for 9 days and ship to my new address. They were very accommodating and it went perfectly. Doug

Out of curiosity, what would the market value be on something like this? Other than the obvious "what someone is willing to pay", answer.
Thats a lot of wax!!

Two years ago, I sold this one, asking something like $350- I honestly forget what I ultimately sold it for, but I do remember that was my original asking price:

The breaks are what first made me join this forum. This was an Epic one, and to my knowledge the highest in value overall. Either way good luck to everyone!!!
And Mark another Awesome job organizing it.

<< <i>I set a personal record for $ spent, and it was only on 6 packs.

+1 but I did it with 12 packs. I feel like I should own stock with BBCE.

Although I did not participate in the group rip, I wanted to say this was pretty nice of you to put this together. About four months ago I did two rips just to have some fun for some of the guys and it was a ton of work. Granted I mailed all the stuff out but just keeping up with all of it is pretty exhausting. I know BBC appreciates it too. Hopefully the next rip I will join in.

Manny - When I say "bust", I mean sell the packs not rip them. I wouldn't open any of them but some would.

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.
Mark--IMO--it would be a crime to break that box. Rare boxes like that should not be broken--IMO
anyone want a nice '70/71 wax pack...LMK. I have a few I may move soon. PM me
How many people did what I did???
Saw when the Group Rip first dropped that the Rip Of All Rip's didn't include 1986-87 Fleer Basketball, so you passed... only to come on here 5 days later and see that it was added after the fact and wasn't wildly announced so that if you didn't follow the thread after initially running down the list... you didn't know... and thus... missed out

Eric,
The reason for the 86 Fleer Bskt not being in the original rip was because Steve had sold it. It was the next day that Steve emailed me and said the buyer backed out. I did add to the title that we added the 86 Fleer Basketball box.

No worries man... just bummed that I missed out... seems I always do. Missed out on the last group rip of these too... Went to BBCE booth 30 minutes after they sold out at the 2011 National... and now missed this one. Seems to be my luck!

I am going to wait until the end of the month. I would like to add some additional time for everyone to re-charge their wallets before we try and break the old record.

Makes sense. Reed's going on a buying trip this month (i THINK its next week) so lets see what he can pick up!

Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
<< <i>A 76 rack box would be nice![/q
That would be nice. A 77 or 78 rack box wouldn't be to bad either. Steve did tell me that un-opened was the hottest thing in the market right now. Not that we have had anything to do with that

It's still listed on the website. Did you buy it and they forgot to take it down?

The way product from the 70's is getting harder to come by it seems inevitable that Steve will have to raise his buy prices significantly and we will have to face the increased costs when he sells. Even then there is no guarantee that there is an adequate supply available to be bought at any price. Time will tell but be prepared for prices to start spiking upward. IMO

Doug,
Honestly, I think you are 100% correct. The big question is how much. I don't think people are going to worry about paying $2-$3 more/pack for 78 Topps wax but if it goes up $10-$12/pack then that is a differet story. Where I see the biggest rise in un-opened is racks. Cello's would be second and then wax.

Absolutely agree in the order you suggest. That's why I'm so grateful for the Group Breaks you organize Mark as it gives me a chance to buy some product at a discount + have the fun of seeing what others are getting. Looking forward to the next one!
WOW
YUMMY
The packs were crazy. Id have a pack that would have 4 copies and sometimes even 5 copies of the same player in 1 pack. All the same player! 1 of my packs had 3 Jim Bunnings and 1 pack had 4 Smith Brothers. I pulled 4 Bunnings , 3 Sparky Andersons, and 6or7(cant remember exact, it was a lot) Smith Brothers out of the packs. And I ended up with about 25 9s and several 8s. The box paid for itself and more after I graded and the marbles didnt affect the condition at all. The cards were crisp and mint and most were centered. Id be interested in a few of those leaf packs if yall do bust the box.
I would also be willing to beat down a 1970-71 BK pack or 2.
<< <i>WOW

WOW! Almost $120,000.00 worth of unopened in those two cases!
