1980 Topps Baseball Wax Pack Rip...and a Vending Box

Where is the Henderson?

David, I was saving those for the not-so-thrilling conclusion but here goes. They could be better centered but, then again, there's a good chance there will be ZERO Rickeys in any given vending box.

As an aside, one reason you may want to open a 1980 Topps Vending Box is that your heart is probably going to jump a little when you pull a Rickey. Especially if you were 10 in 1980.

And that is the anatomy of a 1980 Topps Vending Box from this particular case from BBCE. It would really be great to see pics from some of those who bought the remaining boxes. But the boxes will probably be locked away in a vault somewhere never to see the light of day.

2 in one box??? Great pulls. Sorry about the centering.

Dos Hendersons? You were certainly on the right track. Thanks for sharing!

Wow. Those partial name cards are going to do very well at auction.

Thanks. The whole print flaw/variation thing is really an interesting aspect of our hobby I am just learning about. All I knew was Bump Wills Blue Jays and Craig Nettles! Of course those were corrected errors. These are just printing flaws.

Interesting ink blotches from the box:

But this Trammell (from the wax packs) is my favorite:
