hey guys - I feel the need to admit something - I got this deal going with my wife that if I want the combination of beer/sports/baseball cards on any given day - I leave the house 
Mock it if you want but it keeps the bad out of the marraige and it works for us ! Two days in a row though is stretching it but it is playoff weekend - so she gave me a gimme. Love her. She'll call me later at this Best Western home away from home later and yell at me - just for 10 seconds though. 
The vending box I don;t know what it is yet as I am a dork and buy BBCE stuff - it goes in a closet - and I randomly pick a box for days such as this

The teams on the left I believe kicked arse that year - as portrayed in the 70's quality of the team cards
But things actually look pretty good going in. I have Orr/Dryden/Laflour/Potvin and Gillies to know to look out for here - thank you
<< <i>Potvin...Gillies...these are the players cpamike grew up idolizing!! Good luck! >>
WTF!?! Those are fighting words. I do love me some Greschner though. Oh la la sasson.
Have fun with the rip!!!

So wait, when you leave the house to drink, watch games and R-I-P, you get a room at the Best Western?

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.
Still in the 30/30 ends of box here - not bad

Other than Shinola:
Gary Unger - Go to your room !
Hard to focus on this now - the above is just the top 30 card grab from each end of the vending box - Need to focus on Pack kickin' niner arse so hard to go through these - Must admit though going throuigh this vintage stuff kicks ass. MUST CONTINUE

I missed that the first time around, LOL!!
So basically, before you pull a single card, you're in the hole for room and board!

It's like just a dent to what is left

Why was I mocked here

Barfvader, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
This is known as “bad luck.”
Better Potvin view:
miwlvrn - two #210's so far and both the same cut
Also really like the Golden Seal Team and Team Leader cards.
Fun Rip...Thanks for sharing.

I sent Grote an apology via PM for that buzzed deeeeeek reply I did above - never drink and drive or post
I ordered another box of this - never got 70's stuff from baseball this good. Yes - this is a turnaround - nothing like breaking bad 70's stuff and actually getting excited about the quality - I know 4sc cornered the sales market on this set - and there are around 20-30 PSA 10's people want which most likely won't happen - I'll build a set of 9's
Yes - I just ordered another box of this - only 2/3rds through and qiute happy
Lots of beauties there....

but if anyone has been doing the should I thing on the bbce box - get it.
<< <i>will post a good pic of Orr / Dryden /potvin etc when done - a little synopsis at end - some day soon am only ficused now on centered/greatest hairdoo cards - without a clue who they are,
but if anyone has been doing the should I thing on the bbce box - get it. >>
for $350? No thank you
<< <i>How were the Orr & Dryden cards?

One Dryden, one Potvin and two Orr team cards in great shape - The Laflour single card and the single Orr were OC
Will try my luck at grading 10 of these - once seeing how those come out - may send in around 150 I'd consider very centered and sharp. The rest are OC and available if anyone is building a set and doesn't need centered perfection.
The $350 thing is up there of course but for mid 70's product of any sport I don't think it's out of line - some win some lose of course with vending or anything else for that matter.
Best of luck to you on the grades. 10's will sell for a lot, 8's won't even cover grading fees. Some 9's are OK but even a huge star like Lafleur typically only sells between $13 - $28 in a 9, depending on how the listing goes. Either way, I think 70's hockey is a lot of fun to rip!
