Show Your Pack Pulled Vintage Cards

gemint

Here's a thread for you pack rippers to show off what you pulled. I'm not a big pack ripper but have been known to eviscerate a pack from time to time. Rules for this thread are that they had to be personally pulled from a pack by you and they had to be pulled in recent years (no beaters pulled as a kid 40 years ago...that's for another thread).

Here are a few highlights from my pulls.

From a 1980 wax pack



From a 1971 first series rack pack



From a 1972 3rd series wax pack. Likely a 9 if not for a surface bubble.



From a 1960 2nd series cello pack:

Part of me feels like a vegetarian viewing the wall decor of a hunting lodge, but those are fantastic cards. The Rose in particular is a great find in a tough to find pack.

The '71 Rose is exactly the kind of 8 I like. Nice corners, no tilt, just minor centering/surface issues. Extremely attractive!

Excellent cards! I must say, whatever scanner your using....it's working! Fantastic pics!!!

I like this thread. From a 1986 rak purchased off ebay. Didn't plan to open but the seller packed like poop and one section popped open so what the hell. Both came from same section.

Have opened probably 3 1981 FB grocery raks in the late 90's and 10 1984 FB wax packs and haven't pulled the key cards so no other luck with this decade

I like this idea for a thread, as well. You've inspired me to try and oragnize my set collections a bit now, LOL..

Here are a few of my pack pulls. The Yount and Aaron were pulled from a mini rack a year or so back. One of these days I may review the Aaron card.





This Aaron #660 was pulled from a GAI 7.5 wax pack several years back:





Frank Robinson from another GAI pack:





Some OPC love for the 75s, too, pulled from wax packs:






And a couple other OPC favorites, both from wax. Will have to dig for the PSA 9 72 OPC Munson and Aaron cards, too.

standard operating procedure is to open one pack when I obtain a lot of same packs, included in this would be a 1974 FB cello and a 1973 FB cello, don't remember getting any HOF but have pulled these 3 cards from opening 2 1972 wax packs (yes that is correct, got 2 staubachs in one wax pack ) 2 other packs yield minor HOF like Fred B., Sonny J. and Larry Csonka

Since I started collecting unopened in the mid 90's I think I have opened 4 1971 FB wax packs and one cello pack, here are the best cards from those (OJ came from a vending box).

Also pulled mint OC cards of Gale Sayers and Bart Starr:

From a raw wax pack...I was especially elated that he was a Met (and is still a pop 2)




I opened quite a few 72 OPC wax packs when they were $30 a pack, lol..







More mini hits (all from wax)

1970 is the first year I remember buying cards and went nuts buying 1970 FB cellos.

Have open one wax pack and one 1st series cello pack. OH, and a first series vending box about 2 1/2 years ago. Did REALLY well with that box, multi 9's for OJ, Page etc, here are some photos before they went off to PSA. Think I pulled at least 4 of all the key cards except Elvin B.

Wow John, some of those cards are begging to be submitted. What's holding you back?

From what he said I think they were submitted already.

Very nice guys! I really like the 71 Rose and 72 Clemente Topps. Of course, I am partial to all the OPC ~ the 76 Carter and 72 Clemente IA are sweet!

Have submitted most of those and gotten 9's or 's 8.5's on all the 1970 FB cards. Did get some 9's on the 71 FB cards but in general most got 8's and are undergraded in my opinion.

jmoran19

Continuing the FB theme I have opened one 1969 series 1 wax pack, biggest names were Ray N., Roman G. and Larry Wilson and one 1968 series 1 wax pack I sent in for grading that was rejected by PSA so I opened it.

Was a legit pack LOL, got a PSA 9 Tommy McDonald plus 2 posters (not one) and this card, mint front but back has a little gouge mark on the edge

Last vintage football pack I have opened. As most of you know im pretty good at sequencing and a 1958 cello pack was purchased and busted looking for this card thanks to the help of another collector here. The card showing on the top of the cello was miscut and showing 2 different cards so I cant really complain about the centering. On to basketball packs next.

Pulled this in the late 70's I think at the George Washington Motor Lodge show from a pack and then got it autographed at another show for $3. Don't remember the seller or how much but the pack was
cheap and I liked the oversized cards as I thought they were cool. Bunning had a suit on for the signing. Great memory.

Nothing better than pulling a Brown RC from a cello pack!

Common folks any others? I know you've pulled some beauties over the years from CU breaks in the past. I have a PSA 9 Marino RC I pulled from a CU forum break that I'll try to get posted.

I love that Clines that has to be a 100 on the eye appeal scale.

I don't know if this quite qualifies as vintage, but it's one of two that I pulled it from a pack in 1986:

packCollector

one of my better pulls

Nice Unitas. Looks like an 8.9

packCollector

I thought it was an 8.5 or a 9(centering is the only thing in question) but it came back trimmed when I sent it in the first time so I didn't bother to try agai
