...when I open packs I never fail to get a:
#585 Al Hrabosky, #163 Steve Swisher, #694 Jim Rooker, #132 Biff Pocoroba, #418 Roger Freed, #402 Merv Rettenmund, etc... Basically a bunch of no name Guys I get in a small amount of packs I open, and if I were to sub any of these cards would probably get another PSA 10 to add to the countless dozens or so that are already graded. + I already have these cards to begin with.

#30 Vida Blue, #405 Dwight Evans, #270 Mike Schmidt, #500 Tom Seaver, #700 Rod Carew, #393 Ozzie Smith, #600 Reggie Jackson, #482 Rickey Henderson, & #580 Nolan Ryan, andif I were to ever get any of these cards, the best grade I would receive would be a PSA 9.
Of all the 1980 Topps baseball wax, cello and raks I have busted, I have never pulled an Ozzie, Ryan, Seaver, Jackson, and only 1 single Henderson which graded a PSA 6!

This is my favorite set and ripping is just plain bad in my experience. I recently opened a box of squirt cellos and got a Henderson in bad enough shape that I immediately let my 3 year old hold it. Other than that, I have never pulled any of the cards you are missing in the racks, wax, cellos or even the wax tray that I opened. Even more than a decent Henderson, I really just want to pull an centered Ozzie. Corners and edges come as you are.

Me three....lol
In 1980 I was 8 years old and spotted a ad for a vending box in the back of some magazine from Renata Galasso. I begged my Dad to order it for me
and after 6 long weeks went to the mailbox and finally got it. Along with that box I bought countless packs throughout the year and had probably 2 sets complete
except for one freakin card........................ENRIQUE ROMO!!!
This does not include the 66 double prints in the set either. For every Mike Schmidt that's in a pack which is a double print, there's 5 gazzilion Steve Yeager's that aren't a double print. Point is, even certain double prints don't seem to be as abundant as non-double prints.
To this day, I have never pulled certain raw cards from packs or racks. The most notable being The Nolan Ryan A.L. All Star card. I pulled the Angels Team card, which received a 9, and his Highlights card with J.R. Richard, but never his own card. I've pulled three Henderson's one was an 8, and 2 7,s. They seem to be extra tough on that card as the 8 I made was virtually flawless both front and back.
All in all though it's been very fun collecting the set, and I look forward to completing it. I've also learned lots building the set, most notably persistance and patience
Now does anyone want 1000 1980 Topps Jim Bibby's or Mario Soto's?
