    The Mad Hungarian looks gem mint at first blush~Marshall HL looks terrific, too, and another HOFer, nicely centered. The header section indeed saved the day!

    Final two cards--a very sharp and mint Jim Ray and a very nice Tepedino. Centering was MUCH better in this section.

    OK, that wraps it up! I may crack open the other 75 cello tomorrow, and after that, I'm done till Labor Day (at least), LOL!

    Happy 4th (now 5th) to all!

    Thanks for sharing the rip, Tim. Some good star power in the cello and that last cell definitely saved the day on the rack pack. Nice Yount!!

    Schrödinger's cat is most definitely ALIVE!

    Great pull on the Yount.

    Did you know the sequencing before opening the rack, a la the recent 1970 cello rip by Nikklos?

    With Hrabosky, was he mad, like in crazy, or mad, like in angry? In 1975, that would make him either the "He's a Little Bit Off Hungarian" or the "Slightly Peeved Hungarian".

    Two more awards for Mr. Bungle:

    The "My name is now used as a benchmark for hitting" Award goes to Mario Mendoza.
    The "Airbrush" Award goes to Darold Knowles. (Darold? Must have been a family name or a misspelling.)

    and the "semi-ironic signature line" Award goes to grote15! I think the word "Collecting" should be changed to "Buying" unless your stash is infinite. Will there be any unopened, unopened left before you go? Does CPA Mike shed an "Iron Mike Cody" tear (google it) at the end of each of your rip threads?

    GREAT pull!

    Looks like a easy 9 unless there is something we cant see.

    Congrats!

  • Nice rip Tim
    Crisp looking cards. Tennana in regular is a beast too. Only one 1500 sale in last four years according to VCP
    Yount is a beauty. Usually see it following a card or two behind Aaron #1 but a nice pull nonetheless.

    Thanks again, guys, for all the kind words! I am hoping the Yount grades PSA 9. It looks as nice as the Reggie I just got back from PSA as a 9.

    I will update this thread with the grades when I get them back.

    What a pull. Good luck on the Yount and Rose. Both very sharp.
  • gemintgemint Posts: 6,121 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Nice Yount Tim! How's the centering on the back?
  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,742 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Thanks again, guys! I like the Rose even more than the Yount, but the Yount is a tad sharper.

    John, centering on back is not as nice as front but definitely within parameters for a straight 9.
