    And we'll finsh off with a pop 0 and pop 1. Not to suggest these will add to the pop...

    Box 3 was a good box I think. Whew finished just in time to watch the Miami- FSU game. Go Canes!

    Ok replying to my own post! Will take that mean people are as sick of my fuzzy pics of commons as I am sick of posting them!

    So I will just stick to the Big 3 and maybe an exceptional star or two going forward. You get the idea, the boxes have a lot of low pops with potential but all that really matters is the good stuff!

    So onto Box #4!

    Thanks for postig this thread. I was 8 years old and got my first packs from this issue.

    Very pretty cards, good luck with the subs!
  • NikklosNikklos Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭
    Well Box #5 was quite traumatizing as there were no Rickeys at all. Some nice cards but a meh box.

    A few highlights

    This Rose just doesn't smell as sweet

    A Ryan

    image

    One thing these boxes don't lack are nice Seavers

    Is this card relevant anymore?

    Ecks are also properly representing

    Ok indulge me another low pop. This is a pop 1. I know a pop 2 is somewhere in these boxes they are coming out so nice.

    Won't be able to update the thread for a bit. Traveling. still couldn't resist bringing three vending boxes with me though!

    I can picture them hurtling around in the overhead bin every time we hit a bump!

    Wow grades are in from that first batch from the first four boxes. That's really quick!

  • NikklosNikklos Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭
    So this sub was from the cards that I scanned above. The best of the bunch from the first four boxes. I subbed these without the Ryans and Hendersons. A little stingy on the Gem mints! I don't know, I think they're a little hard on some of these. The Yaz/Brock HL is nice though. And the Garvey.

    I have to do better on the next batch.

    << <i>Only TWO 10's??? Ouch. >>



    I know. Totally ridic. May have to reexamine some of those 9s.

    I think I may be onto something with one of those 10s though!

    Edit to add: Well I just looked the Brock/Yaz HL and it is not as rare as I thought. But 4sc has a BIN around $25 for a PSA 9. So the 10 is nice to have. Love that card too!


    Well I guess everything but the Ryans and Hendus is just gravy anyways.

    Great turnaround time and good grades overall from vending. I was hoping you'd hit a few more 10s from the scans. This looks similar to the 81s, always a beast to yield a 10.


    Thanks,

    Sharp cards and good results overall~this set is much tougher than people think. Good luck with your next sub! A Rickey in PSA 9 would be sweet!

    That's some fast poppage
  • 19541954 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭
    I think you did very well on your first submission. PSA 10's from this set is tough and to get two of them out of 41 cards is pretty nice. Good job
    Looking for high grade rookie cards and unopened boxes/cases
  • NikklosNikklos Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭
    Thanks!! Definitely going to revisit a few of those 9s. Although I can't say the grading was too harsh. They gave a 7 to my fisheyed, too-tightly-cello wrapped 1975 Aaron from my horendously miscut cello box after all. I sent that in as a feeler!

    As for the fast poppage, was certainly the fastest I've ever gotten on a monthly special. Maybe it helps if you primarily stick to one issue.

  • DavisDavis Posts: 705 ✭✭
    Impressive speed on the poppage. I'm guessing I used the same service as me with my most recent sub that is still awaiting poppage (20-day monthly special). My order was delivered 11/11/14, logged 11/14/14, poppage pending.
  • NikklosNikklos Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭
    Actually this was the 50-day special if you can believe it

    Wow...they must have missed the "0" in "50".
  • DanBessetteDanBessette Posts: 6,421 ✭✭✭
    Some of those grades are fantastic! Very excited about the Yaz/Brock PSA 10 and a 10 Garvey is a great hit too.

    Nikklos...I just realized that I don't like you right now. Because of you, I've probably refreshed my psa membership page about 4,000 times today.
  • NikklosNikklos Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭
    Thanksgiving was kind of chaotic so wasn't able to post but thought I would update this thread, Wound up with six Hendersons in 10 vending boxes. One box had two. So that makes five whole boxes without a Hendu! Imagine the horror. I'd post pics but I mixed the Hendersons with a few that I already had lying around so I don't know what's up with what.

    There were about 8 Ryans and 8 Roses in the boxes. Have a few subs on the fire and will post once they pop.

    Am waiting to fill a renewal sub with all Hendu rookies! To that end, I bought three more boxes and will post the highlights! image

  • NikklosNikklos Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭
    Question - is it all worthwhile to get this very nice Pryor graded if they aren't going to note the "variation" and may even deduct for print defect? Or better to keep raw?

    Would appreciate any thoughts.
