    It will go soon, that 86-87 fleer box only lasted two weeks a few weeks back.

    Just make sure to post the scans of the rip!

    "27 per card"
    Not including the wrapper and of course the gum though. so make it an even 26.00 and Ill agree.

    Definitely too pricey for a group rip, imo...the value of that box is in it being left intact..

    The packs from the last break were in beautiful shape. I think I'd be out of a group break on these, though.

    Id take a pack

    I believe the per pack price on the last rip was $275. The pack I got I submitted to PSA and it came back a PSA 7.

    It would be nice to see what a couple of the opened looked like...

    They were actually $225 after the 10% Steve gave. I think he actually had loose packs on the website at that time for $275, so we got a really nice discount for breaking a box.

    Actually, you are correct, it was $225 last time around which was a good price (I was thinking of the $275 raw per pack price on the site)...that previous box was listed at 6K though so this one at $6,900 would be a bit higher..

    I pulled the PSA 8.5 Rose and the PSA 7 Ryan from the last rip (plus some PSA 9 high number commons). Along with the Jordan RC that was a great rip!

    I'd take a pack if a group rip means the box is packed out to 24 (or less) people. I would promise to open and post pictures when received.

    That is still cheaper than Five Star or National treasures or ....

    Beautiful box for less than the last one at auction, and that's before any potential discount. Not sure it would be available on something like this. I don't think it will last long.

    And to think, a decade ago I picked up a wax box run from 1972 to 1976....for $6000!

    To put things into further perspective: about a year and a half ago, I bought a 1970 Topps High number box for about $600 more. That box could have had high-grade All-Stars cards, Mays, Aarons, Robinsons, Benches, Ryans, Roses. The list is endless. The gamble seemed a lot more worth it.

    I remember when I was first collecting in the early 80's that the Carew and the Garvey were the marquee cards of the 1972 Hi-Number Series. Now they don't seem to have that same mystique. Still, it would be nice to pull a high-grade Ryan or Rose! I am not saying I don't want to rip this box!!

    Oh well, I will go play with my 1981 grocery racks...

    1972 was always a special set and year for me because I think the cards are gorgeous and it was the year I was born....always wanted this specific box....hmmmm
