Home Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum

The BenG76 rip thread.

I decided to start sharing by box breaks/ pack rips with the forum. I didnt videotape this one but will show the highlights. This was a fun box. I got the box off of Ebay in a lot of early 90's football boxes. Got 5 different boxes for $21 shipped.

I remember buying some packs of these when they originally came out. I never pulled one of the stripe cards. Got 5 from this box. My 5 year old daughter pulled one of these from a pack she opened. I like the Reggie White. There were a ton of doubles in this box. I got 14 Elways and multiples of other stars like Sanders, Rice, etc. Looks like I got a Simon Fletcher hotbox.

I hope to share some other rips soon. Here is a scan of the stripe cards.

  • Thanks for sharing! I found a few at my lcs for five bucks and bought them all. I ended up pulling almost fifty Favre rookie cards out of 3 boxes. It was nuts. The only issue was half were stuck together. I think I only pulled about 1 stripe per box, nothing over 10.

    Thanks for sharing. One of my favorites and an underrated box IMO. I believe Wildcard produced 20,000 serial number 10 box cases of this product, which is pretty low for that era.

    It was a pretty fun box and I enjoyed the thrill of pulling the stripe cards. I will have to pick up some more of these boxes in the future. I will try to post another break before long.

    Good stuff dude! I have wondered if you were going to be video taping any more of your card related stuff! image I have always liked the colors on those.

    I started up a new Youtube channel a few months ago. My old one was more related to my videogame collection which I have been moving away from. I do all of my TTM return , box break and pickup videos on the new channel. Here is a link to my uploads

    This evening I opened a box of 1991 Topps Stadium Club Football. Did pull one Favre sadly it has a bad spot over the Topps Stadium Club logo, It looks like it may have graded decent if not for the spot.

    I wish I had paid more attention while opening the packs since the Favre card was the back card on the pack and it could have been seen. I would have most likely ripped it anyway had I seen it though since I didnt pull another from the box. I got several of the other rookies and HOFer cards in the box.

    Ben, where did you get the 91 Stadium Club box? I am certainly no expert, but that Favre looks very odd to me. Is it possible the box was opened and maybe re-sealed? The top edge of the card just looks weird. image It may just be my old eyes though! image
  • BenG76BenG76 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭
    I got the box on Ebay. The box looked good and was sealed but I guess you never really know.
  • BenG76BenG76 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭
    Alright after reading one of the threads recently about more modern wrestlers rookie cards I decided to try to pull some out of packs. I bought a nice looking box of 1995 WCW Main Event cards. Pulled three of the Stunning Steve Austin cards I was looking for and made a set as well. I may grade these 3 after I look them over better. Let me know what you guys think on these cards.

    They look good in the scans.

    I say spend the money and get any that are razor sharp graded. If you get a 10 you could probably get someone to pay $100+ in a Buy It Now Best Offer listing.
  • Which one is the centered one? Check out the light and Sting's elbow.
  • Dpeck100Dpeck100 Posts: 10,912 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The top left one looks off centered perhaps top to bottom with there being much more space between the edge and his name.

    I do not own any of this card and have no prior grading history.
  • BenG76BenG76 Posts: 1,055 ✭✭✭
    I may just send all 3 as I think the corners look good. There is a difference in all three cards on the centering. I will put an update here whenever I send them in.

    Got this box from Blowout cards on Black Friday. Nice box overall. Check out the video of the break at the link below

    The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the PSA 10 collector he didn't exist.

    Yea, I am still picking up some 76 Topps in PSA 8 or better here and there. BTW I just uploaded another video. I will try to get up one every day or so for maybe the next week.

    I do some coin roll hunting as well. Have some videos up about it on my other channel. There should be a link to it in the description of the video. If not you can look up BenG76MDGuy which is my metal detecting and coin channel.

    Definitely a better camera... now you just need to get your lighting sorted and you're good to go.

    By the way, did you continue with the Collector Crates after trying them out?

    Thanks, I do need to figure out a better solution on the lighting as you said. I have not bought any more of the Collector Crates. I think I will just buy what I want to rip myself honestly. I plan on trying to get a couple pack rips up a week for a while if I can.

    Cool thread. I love 90's football!

    The Favre has lots of paper loss on the surface from being stuck to the card above it. It would not grade high with or without the spot above the logo so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    Ripped a 2015 Topps Opening Day blaster to check them out.

    I love your rips. Fun to watch, plus you and my dad share the same accent (his is stronger, if you believe it).

    As I read your posts, I do so with your accent in my head, lol.

    Anywho, if, and only if, you think those Gretzky's will pull PSA 10s (keep in mind PSA is usually pretty tough on his cards) then I'd get them in on a cheap special. Not big money, but you may make a few bucks.
  • Fun rip, but I wouldn't grade anything from it.

    Thanks for commenting. I probably wont grade anything from those. It was fun to rip something different though. I grew up some in south Georgia. I now live in the mountains in VA. You should hear some of the folks back in the mountains around here. I cant hardly understand them.
