I didn't even notice that Morris RC was on the top of the rack, good eyes. I would also keep that one sealed, as well.

Morris Rack? It's worth money because it's a "DOUBLE DOUG" Rack!

Mitt Romney might buy the other rack since Big Bird is in it.

I doubt it...he already has a lot of them....binders full of them.

The other rack has HOF'er Fergie Jenkins. You did well. I'd think you could turn a quick profit on those selling to
unopened rack collectors and use the profits to buy more with commons showing.

I debated opening the Morris rack cause he is up for HOF again. It looks well centered, maybe slightly low. I am not sure what is 50/50 centered with 78's. Didnt even see the Fergie Jenkins.

I would keep the Fidrych leader pack unopened as well. With him and Jenkins on top that is too good to rip!

oooooohhhhh..........80 Vending!!! I busted a few of those 2-3 years ago.

If you're looking to put together a high end raw set of those, let me know. Maybe we can do some trading.

I probably will be looking for stuff. After the rip and go through the 80's stuff I have lingering, I will let you know what I am looking for. Thanks!

You probably shouldn't listen to me, but I say rip it all!

Happy New Year!

Wow, two rack packs with HOFers showing (Morris will get in this year). Once again, this just goes to show you how well you can do by just ordering from BBCExchange.

I say rip'em all but it's not my packs so... Good luck on the '76 football. I've been trying to work up the courage to buy a couple packs myself.

mygotta

Well I opened to the 2 '79 packs. Nothing special but some semi-stars:




The carew/parker looks gradable. But I am not sure with that corner piece of fuzz whisping away. This Pete Redfern looks really well centered, but the top right corner I think wont get it a 10. There are no 10's on this card either. Boo.



Ok, thats all for now. I'll do the 76 next. Be back a beer later.

Lets keep this going. You are going to rip them all tonight. No holding back. Don't let these guys talk you into keeping them sealed.

There's a Henderson in that vending box as well. No need to keep it there. Do it!!!

Maybe one of these days Walter Johnson will make a name for himself!

mygotta

Well, the 76 packs I pulled out two VERY expensive, but well centered commons A little disappointing though.

That Wersching looks dead centered!

mygotta

Lastly is the 1980 Vending box. It basically gave me every major star card. I dont think there was anyone missing. However, the centering was all over the place. Moving from left to right, you could see the cut had some issues, as on the left side did not create that nice pattern until you got more to the right side of the box. So as you see, the cards got progressively nicer looking. But I dont think any card is truly 50/50 centered, at least of the stars. The box itself you could see is clearly brand new and never opened. But these vending boxes are so flimsy. Scanned here are just the major players.





Love that Carter image!!



The Smith is probably the best centered of the bunch and might consider grading.



And similarly, like the other guy who ripped a vending box, my Henderson came towards the last 100 cards or so. No the same luck, but am happy to pull one. The Ryan and the Rose as well all came towards the end (or right side) of the box. I dont know if this is common.




Given the shaky cutting, would it be expected other vending boxes from the same case to be cut similarly?

I recently bought an 80s vending box from BBE. It had to have been from the same case as the centering on my box was hideous. To boot, I didn't pull a Henderson. I'm hoping BBE gets a fresh case in before I try again.

All told, vending is a crap shoot. I have had some converse luck-- pulled PSA 9 78 Molitor and Murray out of BBE sold vending boxes.

With that said, I still enjoy vending for the buck. It is a lot of fun and relatively inexpensive.

Case opened in April... it's been 8 months, so he's selling less than 3 vending boxes/month. Maybe it should have been one of his 12 Days of Christmas specials!

That would certainly be fun!

Well I am going to cut my losses there and keep the rack packs sealed. Gamble on the HOF for Morris and move it then and see what kind of premium I can get for the 77 with Fergie on top. Then get some with commons that I can rip. I have a 79 wax I just got in the mail....
