    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.

    As Barry would say on Storage Wars....Absolutelyyyyyy NUTHIN!! image. There were a couple questionable commons and a nice Gary Carter which I will post tomorrow. Maybe you guys will see something I don't but it was still fun to rip after all this time. There were no big names at all, Gary Carter was the biggest name out of all 3 packs, and if submitted, I think it may be a 9. Out of all 3 packs, I would say maybe 4 possible 10's and will will put it on here tomorrow morning to see what you guys think. The gum in these packs pretty much ate their way through the first card image. I'm ordering up a couple rack packs next as like you said Justin, maybe I will have a shot at that Henderson image.

    That's too bad Jimmy. I often think of buying some vintage like this and ripping.

    One thought I why you had "nothing" is that 32 years later we have a completely different view of what "nothing" or "something" would be. For example, if you picked up a Willie Wilson or a Mark Fidrych it would have been something in 1980. Now -- unless they are in the HOF -- it's not much. Even a Dave Stieb Mint card would be what -- $20 slabbed?

    I'm guessing only Rickey Henderson PSA 7.5+ or a Nolan Ryan PSA 8.5+ could offset the cost of the retail of that wax tray, OR 3 PSA 9 HOF'ers...
    Enjoy your collection!
