Just ripped a box of 1985 Topps. This is the first time I have ripped a box looking for the big three of course. Purchased the box a few weeks ago from BBCE. Beautiful box, no damage whatsoever.
No McGuire, no Gwynn, one Puckett, one Clemens, one Boggs (centered low), two Ryans and Schmidts only one of each are going to be submitted. One gum card per pack, no big star cards ruined, only a couple of wax stained cards (on the back). Approximately 1/4-1/3 of cards centered 80/20 or worse, surprisingly enough, most of the remaining were pretty good side to side but towards the bottom.
Quite a few low pop commons that could get 10's, I am assuming 9's are worthless. Is anyone putting this set together? Should I bother to submit the commons?
Here's the best of the Star cards (also a pretty nice Lynn slightly oc, not pictured);
Any comments or questions?

He used to be a race car driver from Franklin County Virginia
Does ANYONE think the Rose is worth sending in? Looks like the best card in the box...............just perfect.
P.S. cards look better than the scans indicate, left edge of cards look kind of "warped" in the scans.
Based on what I see in that scan, it looks like a nice 9 to me.

That Ryan is distractingly OC in the horizontal direction. Even if it were lucky enough to be graded a 9 rather than lower, you can find better looking 9's for 12 bucks or less, so I wouldn't bother to send that one in for a slab if it were mine.

The spot on Rose's collar does not appear to be a print spot.
Have one Rick Sutcliffe All-Star, centered low 75/25 with a few minor print "dots" otherwise looks mint.
<< <i>No Mattinglys, no Goodens, no Ozzies. >>
McGwire is the card behind Ozzie.
Save your money and don't sub any of them. Not a single card shown will be a 10.

I have seen 10's with centering like a couple of my cards, but I have never been that lucky.
I am afraid you might be right. I think I will send in the Puckett, Clemens and Ryan and hope one sneaks through.
Kind of a crappy box, was hoping to get at least one McGwire the one card that is worth something in a 9.
Fun to rip a box of cards though!
Thanks for the responses.
<< <i>Rose looks good but you never know. I would sub something like that on a cheap special. >>
Cheap special? BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
