Who's up for a Group Rip? 1972 Baseball included

ClockworkAngel

So I have been selling off the majority of my unopened collection I have accumulated over the last few years and I thought it would be fun to do a group rip of what I have left. With this thread, I just want to gauge how many people would be up for it before I commit to breaking these open...

Every box that would be involved was purchased from the BBCE, and I can provide receipts if that is important to anyone. With some of this being on the high end and as a result somewhat pricey, it's important to me to know the packs will be accounted for. I have only been on the boards a little over a year and don't post as much as many of you, but I have gotten to know some really good people that can hopefully vouch for my integrity and honesty and wanting to keep the hobby as clean as possible. I can vouch for the boxes authenticity as much as Steve can since it's all from there and remains untouched since I purchased them. They are all wrapped in the cellophane they came in. The prices per pack are an extremely modest markup compared to what I paid. The intent is not to gouge as I just want it to be fun and give some of the unopened enthusiasts some good ripping to hold them off until the National, and at the same time see a small profit, if nothing else to cover thee managing of the process and shipping.

Here's what I have:

1 1972 Topps Baseball Series 5/6 (High Series) (24 total packs) $310/pk
2 1993 SP Baseball Boxes (48 total packs) $20 ea
2 1978 O-PEE-CHEE Baseball Boxes (72 total packs) $16
1 1975 Topps Football Cello Box (24 Total Packs) $75/pk
2 1986 Topps Football Wax Boxes (72 total packs) $15/pk
1 1981 Topps Baseball Wax Box $4/pk
1 1980 O-PEE-CHEE Baseball Box $10/pk
1 1983 O-PEE-CHEE Baseball Box $5/pk

Specifically, the 1972 Box is gorgeous but at $310/pk do we have 24 buyers? I would likely start that out at 1 per person and if some want a 2nd we would do it.

With the 1975 Topps FB Cello Box, I would also start these at 1/person and see the interest. Lastly, if there is enough interest I will start it Monday at an announced time to give everyone a fair shot. I am PST in California and around 12Noon PST that day would be the likely time, as it's the most convenient time to be sitting on my computer tracking it. This is not official where you are claiming your packs yet. Just a feel as to whether everyone is up for this.

I would be in for the 81 baseball and most likely the 83 OPC

maxslamus

I would be in for a few of the 1981 topps cello and 1978 o-pee-chee.

RyanAdmirer

I'd be in on 1981 Topps BBall, 1986 Topps Football, and 1978 OPC Baseball

I'd venture that 72 box would go or some big money at an AH-- maybe send it to REA's new auction if it is not devoured here.

ClockworkAngel

Yup, Matt, that's where it's likely going if there is no interest here. I could get more money at auction houses but thought it would be a hell of a fun box for the group rip

Who is in the 72 5/6 series box?

Thanks

Hey guys

Just wanted to Bump this. Also, I've decided to rethink the 75 Cello box and just ship every pack as is and leave it to chance. If there is a Fouts or Swaan so be it. Don't want to come off as I'm searching these. Also, to make things smooth and clean I will not be a part of the group rip so everyone knows I will not be cherry picking or whatever you want to call it. Every pack will be sent out and I will stay out of this group rip.

Again, my biggest intent with this is to do it with integrity and make it fun. I want this to be smooth and be without controversy. There has been a lot of reports about the bad things going on, and I hope this is a good and fun thing for everyone

Hope this helps...

This would be a great group rip with a solid guy like Clockwork running it. With that said, max me out on everything offered. I'm in a ripping mood.

1983 O-Pee-Chee at $10/pack? That's a typo, right?

<< <i>1983 O-Pee-Chee at $10/pack? That's a typo, right? >>



36 pack box, these sell around $80-$100 box

MattyC

I can also vouch for Clockwork across the board. Should be a fun time. Would love to see a Young or Rice 10 come from that box (so I can buy it from the puller, heheh )

Cooptown

Count me in for an 81 Topps baseball pack.

Yes. The box I have for $10 is 1980, not 1983. 1983 is $5

If Tim likes those packs, then I'll go for the same!

or246

I would be interested in the following

1993 SP Baseball, 1986 Topps Football,1981 Topps Baseball, 1980 OPC

ClockworkAngel

It doesn't look like there is much interest in the pricey ones, so let's just do a box of 1986 Football, a box of 1993 SP Baseball, a box of 1978 OPC, and the 1981 Baseball. I will start it at 12 Noon PST tomorrow. If there is enough interest to crack open the other 86FB, 78OPC, and 93 SP, I'll do that as well. See ya tomorrow!
