Rip everything else.
To be honest, no direction, but...
1966-69 Topps EX+
1975 minis NrMt Kelloggs PSA 9
All Topps Heritage-Master Sets
Rip the Chrome and 87D.
If you're still feeling unsatisfied, then open the racks and pull stars on top/bottom and rip the rest.
I'd probably save the 84D though.
BTW- I love the aggression on the 68 pack and would love to see the results, but still think I'd leave it be.
Good Luck!

So, the purist would say: don't rip!
Me? I say rip away. Scans would be nice.
I busted a box this week and pulled a Bonds and Clark that could ten.
<< <i>Good luck on the rips! I am planning to rip a couple of beat up 76 and 78 rack packs tomorrow night myself! >>
Don't think I didn't see this.
I also vote for the 1984 Donruss (great year) and the 1987 Donruss. Have fun with the carnage!!!
But I have promises to keep,

They call me "Pack the Ripper"
Well it was fun, "best" card was a M. Lynch rookie refractor, a bunch of refractors for veteran stars, had a Philip Rivers box topper, and the rookie auto was an unnumbered Garret Wolfe. a HUGE card if you happen to be a Northern Illinois mid 2000s fan!, for the other 99.99% of people, not the best! lol! I enjoyed the rip and will be opening the 2nd box definitely.
Then opened the 87 Donruss. Kinda meh centering and the black corners are tough coming straight out of the pack! No Bonds, Larkin, or McGwire. Got the Maddux, a couple of will clarks, and some decent centering on some HOF'ers. The Maddux actually had great solid black corners, but OC.
Also, enjoyed a Maine Brewing Lunch while opening. If you like IPAs, make sure to get this at some point if you see, amazing.

Hi Mike!
yeah, i was aware the whole time of how one corner was touched on so many cards, and then saw the maddux with its pristine corners, and unfortunatley the poor centering. maybe still in the 9 range? maybe not?

With that centering I would just keep it raw. IMO.
<< <i>so i'm thinking of opening the 1984 rack box tonight, my only daunting thought is...What do I do with 1100 case rack box fresh nrmt-mt cards? I likely can't build a set, will parse out a few (hopefully) for grading. could i get any value for them? or will b/c people on ebay will assume they are in poor condition, not worth my effort? >>
Considering sharp/clean complete sets are selling for $20-30 delivered and you'll be taking out the most gradable, I don't think there's much value once opened regardless.
Edited to correct spelling.

First, i know people say Bob Gibson is the most itimidating pitcher of all time? I'm skeptical, look at Bob!

Too bad, no Mattingly, b/c it was overall for 84 Donruss a recently centered box, Here's some HOF'ers,
Really cice centering on the Rickey, Ozzie, Brett, and Gwynn

<< <i>So any help with "common" 84 Donruss - I'm reviewing ebay psa 10 completed results and its confusing as some are only $10-12 while others are sig. more. Any real difficult 84 Donruss PSA 10s I should look out for? >>
From Wax/Rack, look for Greg Gagne.
Thanks,

Some of the Diamond Kings and Rated Rookies have errors that are HUGE in a "PSA 10"
Others to look for are:
128 - Niedenfuer
272 - Rozema
416 - Tudor
429 - Richards
441 - Swan
462 - Kearney
463 - Francona
481 - Slaton
482 - Fitzgerald
501 - Koosman
There are others, but this will give you a few to look for.

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.

<< <i>So wife is gone again, the following are on the potential ripping table. >>
This makes me laugh as my wife is gone for the weekend (at Daytona with her dad) and I've strewn cards all over the dining room table as there is no one here to roll their eyes about it!
Mine aren't nearly as cool as yours though -- this is mostly filler for my 80s collection.

Then onto the 83 vending box, first a shot of that good looking vending collation:

The box was pretty solid with centering, unfortunately both Boggs and Sandberg (no Gwynn) are solidly in the 9OC camp

some HOF'ers did have decent centering

Now i have 450 commons, some with 10 potential, many not, and trying to figure how to wade through them
<< <i>Lol bizdiddy, how your card strewn table go? >>
Still strewn and being admired (by me, cats don't get it).
6 Birds! 6 Magics! 5 or 6 Barkleys! 5 or 6 Richmond rookies!

and only one MJ?!

still a fun rip for only $50, B/c of the small sets, its pretty cool to be able to pull 6 of the greatest players ever like Bird and Magic from one box
