OK guys. Sorry for waiting so long to post the details of the break. Between work, family and working with Steve on what to reserve and prices, it has been hectic. So a few notes:

-Steve has given the customary 10% discount on everything except the OPC hockey (he just couldn't on those). Big thank you to Steve.
-The shipping charges have slightly increased ($1/box). Nothing crazy.

    It is your choice whether you rip or not rip what you buy.

    Lemieux rookie. 50 bucks a pack I'm sure.

    I'm half way on old OPC. I have seen gum destroy entire packs. And at $80 a pack, it seems best left unopened. Just my opinion.

    Newer member and am in awe of the stuff being offered. Will the boxes from the cases come wrapped or are the cases being shipped sealed? Thanks for putting this together. Hope to be able to participate. Also think there is a problem with the 1983 Topps cello boxes. At $3600 for the case and 16 boxes, shouldn't it be $225 a box?

    Mike,

    The cases will be sold by the box. So there is 20 boxes to a case so 20 boxes available. Each box will be shrink wrapped by Steve. For the items listed as "box", these will be sold by the pack.

    And the crowd gets to groovin',
    For the doctor a hospital bed they'll be reserving."

    Key, undervalued and underappreciated rookie card in the 1975-76 Topps basketball set.

    Most talented basketball player on the planet during that era. Tragic story.
  • esebilleesebille Posts: 189
    Be interested to see how the price increases effect this one. I am sure the 75 mini's will fly be interesting on the rest.

    I just opened some 81 OPC and the gum took out the first 3 cards. Opening that OPC - especially the 80 and 81 - at those prices is a big time losing proposition.

    Hi Mark,

    If it's not too much trouble, can you ask Steve if the 1982 and 1983 Topps Wax Boxes are the non-X marked boxes?

    Otherwise, if you think this question is too nit-picky, I don't want you to bother Steve over it.

    Thanks,

    I was too chicken to ask, but I'm also curious about Steve's nit-picky question.

    Never done one of these breaks, but visiting this site has given me the itch to pick up some unopened. Does BBCE take PayPal?

    Yes, Paypal is fine. This is a good way to pick up some nice packs and have a little fun opening them.

    What does the x mean? Box was returned to supplier?
  • DCanfieldDCanfield Posts: 548 ✭


    << <i>What does the x mean? Box was returned to supplier? >>



    Boxes had been returned to Topps and then resold as a "Final Sale" and thus couldn't be returned again.

    I'm brand new to this. Can someone explain how this works in it's most basic form - "Group Rip Starting Saturday"? How do I participate? Where do we make purchases? What if we all want the same things? If there is a price for a box and a pack do we assume we can purchase either? A basic explanation would be huge and much appreciated. I've bought from BBCE from their website and at the national...but never like this. Decent looking prices out there image.

    Received your message and replied in detail, but you've gotta free up private messaging on your end, chief. Look right above Mark's (cincyredlegs) initial post and click on profile. From there it'll give you the option to do just that.

    Considered that, but I didn't want to inundate this thread with a Q&A session. For those with myriad questions regarding this Sat night's feeding frenzy, here's an example:

    Group break #1 from Jan of this year

    The rules (and the chaos) should be quite similar.
