    ....and unfortunately the plethora of dinged corners stands out on the black borders as well.

    I either forgot or never knew Seaver played in Boston. Sports cards are educational.

    Only for a half a season. This White Sox traded him for Steve Lyons halfway thru '86 to appease him because he wanted to play closer to home. The other possible destination was the Yankees, but the ChiSox and Yanks couldn't work out a deal. Seaver didn't play in the 1986 post-season (I believe he was hurt), and he retired the next Spring.

    I'm just glad you put the Seaver rack aside. image

    Mike, I know you collect Seaver, but do you collect him in all unis or just mets'

    No, I collect any pack that has Seaver showing. I overlook the fact that other teams borrowed him over the years. image

    So where is the ripping? Do I need to send some experienced rippers over for assistance? There are plenty to choose from and you all know who you are!! image

    Couldn't rip that one, I've got a stack of better centered Rose's from that year and that looks in the 9(OC)-straight 8 range. Non-rippable unopened is not for me...

    Leaf from that year would be an entirely different story, but I don't think they were issued in that packaging.

    I'm with you. Rip baby rip! If I ever get into one of these group breaks, those things are getting shredded! My only unopened is four '91 donruss rack packs, because they're pretty much worthless and I already have a full set
