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.
Was deliberating ripping a '74-86T FB run this afternoon, but slammed back a couple of shots of Patrón and got through the urge. Will use Tito's and lime juice to get through the urge later!
Good luck!

Doug, I can quit anytime...really I can..

Thanks, Tony!
I was just looking at a 77 PSA 10 from my last sub (Knowles), and maybe Rhoden has a shot as PSA seems to prefer cards centered higher than lower (though Rhoden appears a tad higher centered after posting the pic). I have found this to be the case with 75 minis as well.

A bit to the left near the bottom, a bit to the right near the top.

You're right about that, lol.
That might actually work in my favor in a weird way, though, as I've seen some cards in higher grades with tilts.
One more pack..

I just came out of a turkey coma long enough to thank you for the rip.
I saw some very nice cards.
The Cardinals team card is xtra sweet - nicely centered.
Bring back some 10s!
Again, Happy Thanksgiving.

Haven't had any Patrón since Baltimore. I think I need to make a pit stop.
Doug, I have given up on Tim. He is a lost cause...I just hope he doesn't head over here after he is done with his stuff.
Btw, nice cards Tim.

<< <i>OK, one more before midnight!
it's only 9:07 on the west coast. Rip a full box!

LOL, I may use that reasoning!
But after this pack, I will quit while ahead (for now, lol)~pulled another Rose and the Ryan was right behind it! Exciting pulls, if not perfectly centered. A coupe of nicely centered commons, too, including a nice Dodgers team card. Color and registration on these is definitely above average. About as good as I can expect to get from a 10-card pack!

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

<< <i>Interesting thread. Are you going to submit these cards and then post the results? I have not seen a thread of this type for a little while now. >>
Definitely will be submitting the better cards and will revisit the thread when I get them back. I dont have any multi-colored infared graph skills, though.

Edit to say: It does seem, though that the edgse here are smoother than a lot of OPC that are seen. Do you see this more with 1978 than with other years?

David, I am scouring the vault for any vintage packs that reveal the slightest flaws, lol..

I have found that the rough edges typical in OPC cards are fairly consistent from box to box. OPC used very primitive cutting methods for cutting sheets during this era, using airplane wire for the task, which was replaced only occasionally when cutting worsened to the point where even their lax QC standards weren't met. This particular run of 78 OPC packs exhibited fairly smooth, almost Topps-like edges on the cards, so these packs were most likely produced soon after the wires were changed. In addition to the airplane wire, another reason for the rougher cut on the edges of 78 OPC cards is that the card stock used by OPC was noticeably thicker than the stock used for their Topps counterparts, which offered more resistance to the cut itself.
