1970 Topps Cello Rip - Poppage

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 7:16AM

Now unless I am mistaken, there should be a Rose in front of that Ruiz. Now if a very educated 1970 sequence expert would like to chime in, all the better!

I will open and post this card by card. Very slowly. Good rips are hard to come by these days!

lawnmowerman · June 9, 2014 7:23AM

Hopefully the centering follows suit. Good luck if you chose to rip it.

Dboneesq · June 9, 2014 7:25AM

Best of luck Nik. May it be a perfectly centered ROSE!

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 7:30AM

I am going to give a shout-out to the much-maligned Fritsch while I am at it. When it comes to ordering and delivering 1970 cellos, they have never let me down.

If I try to apply the lessons from the School of Moran/Carnac, would this yield a Banks if the top sequence goes 11 deep?

jmoran19 · June 9, 2014 8:06AM

grasshoppers, you are growing up so quickly, ernie should be card 11 in and Don Sutton should be card 9 in. And yes Rose is before Ruiz.

Is there a Catfish lurking too?

Again not a exact science but you will also get padres rookies, Jerry Koosman, Mike Shannon, J. Meritt, Dave Balwdin i think, Jim Perry, Hal L. and Mike H. in first 11. 2nd 11 are impossible to predict

Confussis says you must share all cards if you rip or centering gods will punish you

Big80s · June 9, 2014 8:09AM

This is going to be fun

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 8:12AM

Now you have obligated me to show every card John!

lawnmowerman · June 9, 2014 8:15AM

<< <i>Now you have obligated me to show every card John! >>

Hurry up would ya??

dennis07 · June 9, 2014 8:25AM

I'm looking forward to the rip.

This was a very difficult pack to open. Didn't have my Dremel. And the screwdriver method wasn't easy this time.

Bosox1976 · June 9, 2014 8:54AM

Luscious.

jmoran19 · June 9, 2014 8:54AM

Here we go, p.s. I changed my mind no catfish in last 11 group, Cito and Rick Monday instead

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 8:56AM

You can't be changing your mind like that Moran!

jmoran19 · June 9, 2014 8:58AM

Forgot my own system LOL, when going backwards need to flip it

jmoran19 · June 9, 2014 8:58AM

Could get catfish in 2nd group of 11 though

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 8:59AM

We all saw Rick Wisw.

jmoran19 · June 9, 2014 9:00AM

Nicely centered you tease!

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 9:01AM

Does anyone remember that photobucket setting where it doesn't paste the URL? Mine is doing it again.

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 9:07AM

Padres rookies

lawnmowerman · June 9, 2014 9:09AM

I bet ole' Ron got teased quite a bit in school. I've never heard of him before

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 9:11AM

Darn thought centering would hold.

Koos.

Folks you don't have to watch. JMoran already told you what's inside.

PSASAP · June 9, 2014 9:13AM

This is as exciting as watching strip poker at the Playboy mansion, without Hef of course.

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 9:15AM

Nice!

lawnmowerman · June 9, 2014 9:15AM

Nice...Centering has returned!

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 9:18AM

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 9:29AM

John - you have to recalibrate the system.

Nice McCraw. So far so good.

jmoran19 · June 9, 2014 9:33AM

Oh no, that means no sutton or banks, sorry

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 9:37AM

That's ok John but a mighty fine Timmerman.

cpamike · June 9, 2014 9:39AM

Really nicely centered cards Chris. I really hope Petey is in there.

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 9:53AM

Thanks Mike. More to come soon!

Dboneesq · June 9, 2014 9:56AM

PSASAP · June 9, 2014 10:00AM

I'm betting there's a Pete Rose in that pack. And he is, too.

grote15 · June 9, 2014 10:08AM

Carnac, you're slipping! LOL!!

Nice centering on these, Chris!

ldferg · June 9, 2014 10:34AM

Agreed. Nice centering.

cincyredlegs · June 9, 2014 10:57AM

Chris, I am pulling for you with a dead centered Rose. I will give you this, you have balls the size of church bells.

Mark

Jakt · June 9, 2014 11:20AM

This is almost as good as if I were ripping the pack.

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 9:33PM

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 10:18PM

Nice but pretty high pop

Not so nice

Upon seeing the Alley I know exactly what's coming next...

jeffcbay · June 9, 2014 11:04PM

I paid for the whole seat, but as it turns out, I only need the edge...

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 11:12PM

A horribly o/c Cepeda of course!

Sorry to keep you in suspense!

Nikklos · June 9, 2014 11:37PM

Centering rebounds

So 15 cards in.

jmoran19 · June 10, 2014 12:15AM

2nd set of 11 cards seem to be following the sequence for the right half of the sheet so far. Is the next card an expo?

Nikklos · June 10, 2014 12:42AM

I will check when I get home John. Hmm 1970 Expo doesn't sound too exciting!

jmoran19 · June 10, 2014 2:09AM

you didnt cheat and look at the 32nd card in

Nikklos · June 10, 2014 3:07AM

<< <i>you didnt cheat and look at the 32nd card in >>

LOL I absolutely have not! The cards are stacked in a pile just as they came out of the pack. Knowing (?) that the Rose is back there is making the rest of the rip more palatable! Will be very interested to see how the centering starts out on the back 11.

cpamike · June 10, 2014 5:01AM

<< <i>Will be very interested to see how the centering starts out on the back 11. >>

It will be more interesting to see how the centering is towards on the bottom of the last 11.

Nikklos · June 10, 2014 8:24AM

Expos

Nikklos · June 10, 2014 8:28AM

Nikklos · June 10, 2014 8:31AM

Uh oh

MisterBungle · June 10, 2014 8:33AM

This is another one of those weird staged photos where it
looks like he's getting ready to catch a grounder, but the
ball is already in his glove.
