FS: Big 1970s PSA and BBCE pack lot, will reduce $10/day until gone

miklia

Thanks! Yeah, I agree, ebay used to be a lot of fun.

NOTE - I'm changing the auction end to Sunday instead, as we probably don't need to drag this out for 10 days. Sunday 5 Oct, 8PM CST auction end (bids are per the CU clock)..

SleepyDave

I'll bid $50 each on five boxes.

Thank you for this auction.... I like this idea.

Thanks, Dave

miklia

Thanks Dave, got you down.

jwgators

Can I do 2 for $60 each?

Grimster

I'll bid again - 2 boxes @ $71

miklia

thanks guys! Min bid still at $50.

Davis

Why not? 1 at $61

esquiresports

2 @ $55. Thanks.

miklia

sorry esquire, but min bid is at $60. You'll need to go 61 or higher. Thanks!

jfkheat

3 @ $72. I haven't done one of these type auctions so I'm not 100% sure if i am doing right

James

miklia

Yep, that's right James. Your bids are in, and you will pay per box whatever the lowest winning bid is, provided it's $72 or less.

ldferg

No idea how this works but 2 @ 74.

miklia

Thanks, and got you down. to note - if the auction ended right now, you'd win 2 boxes, and they would be $70 each (everyone pays what the 10th highest box bid goes for). does that help at all?

jwgators

2 at 75 each please

miklia

got you down - thanks!

Frozencaribou

2 at $90

Patches

jwgators

Frozencaribou

Payment sent. Thanks!

miklia

Thanks to all the bidders - all payments received and boxes shipped out priority mail. PM if you'd like tracking info.

I do have another lo# case that I could break in another 20 box dutch auction if there is interest?

Patches

Got my box today, thanks. How did everybody do on the Griffey's? I got shutout, didnt even get a single rookie in the entire box. Not just the key rookies...any.

miklia

Woah, that's a crazy odd box. Never heard of a no rookie box before! Tough break patches, I wish it was better for you. Very interested to hear how others do, keep me posted gents.

Agreed. Crazy box. You didn't happen to pull a reverse Murphy did you? Maybe this run is loaded with those.

Patches

I didnt pull anything of value, was a dud

ldferg

Sorry to hear that. I do plan to rip one. Will post the results.

ldferg

First pack in first box was a griffey. Off centered but always a good pull. Landed two johnsons and smoltz in the same pack both times. I've opened roughly 9 or 10 packs.

Will post scans when I return from business trip.

miklia

nice! 4 johnsons and a griffey from 10 packs isn't bad at all. Looking forward to hearing about the rest, and other rips!

ldferg

<< <i>nice! 4 johnsons and a griffey from 10 packs isn't bad at all. Looking forward to hearing about the rest, and other rips! >>



For clarification it was a single Johnson and Smoltz in the same pack (2x).

miklia

ttt to move out the last of the packs. thanks!

miklia

to the top for the drop drop drop

miklia

ttt - both lots down another $20!

miklia

now it's getting nasty-low. Who's taking it?

Frozencaribou

I bought two boxes of 1989 Upper Deck in the recent sale and just opened my first box. Here's how the star rookies, which were sequenced in descending order in the packs in the box, panned out...

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21. The box was totally searched. You don't just skip over Griffey and Gary Sheffield when the order is intact for every other pack.

I am not accusing Miklia of doing this, but I am sure someone did take out the stars at some point. This is the first time this has ever happened to me with a message board purchase. Very disappointed. Don't know what to do with the second box. I'm not passing it on knowing it is probably searched but don't want to rip it either.

Hi, the case was sealed, I opened it myself. Although, I agree that the sequencing is a bad turn of luck! Would like to hear from others that opened boxes, as at least 1 of the 3 boxes opened had a Griffey, and likely more on the way. Please keep me posted, gents.

I can see how the Griffey could be missed based on your sequence, but the Sheffield is odd if the case was recently opened.

I did get a Griffey, Sheffield, two Johnsons and Smoltz in one box. Box 2 remains intact.

miklia

fwiw, I'm posting the 2 pics I took while opening the case:





I agree that it really sucks to not get a Griffey from ripping a box, but the accusation of it therefore being searched is a step too far. as you note yourself, your sequence was wonky for having 2 #11s, and as far as I remember they sequence goes downward, so you're talking about 2 different runs in the first place. Open the other box and let me know how you do.

Frozencaribou

Fair enough. I will open the other box and from what you've said I have nothing to worry about.

Thanks,

Nathanael
