Which one would you rip first?

    The '73, so we can prove that blue checklists were NOT in 5th series packs as I constantly see claimed, but rather were in all-series packs.

    '72, '73 and then '76. this will lead up from the worst design to the best design of the three image

    76??

    I would go 72, 73 then 75. My least favorite to favorite order.

    I just go in order from newest to oldest.

    I personally wouldn't rip any of them! image

    However, if I were you... I'd go 73, 72, 75. Just got a feeling the 75 might be the best one of the bunch (hit wise).

    But since that isn't happening, I'd pick 1973 first. Schmidt is calling for you. image

    Please don't let this be a tease like the '71 rack. I vote for the '73 to see if Schmidt is there. Curious about the '72 pack too. By comparison to those, '75's seem prevalent.

    Personally, I think you should put them to the side and search for a HI # '52 pack to open.

    Wow. I'm kinda surprised by all of the people who would rip the 1975 last. I sort of consider that one the appetizer myself. Am thinking the Schmidt pack(!) to be the main course. But I do love me some '72 High Number.

    Man, I really wanted these to make it to Super Bowl Sunday.

    Ah well I guess there's enough to do on Super Bowl Sunday anyway.

    Boy is this a crusty looking pack.

    Boy I sure hope you're wrong, Baz!

    Aside from an o/c McCovey, these four were the pick of the litter in this pack. Boccabella and Kaat may be worth subbing.

    Definitely the Kaat, that's sharp.

    Ugg... me too! Hopefully being that wrong on the 75 pack means good things for the other two. Always enjoy seeing your rips, thanks for sharing.

    Was the 75 pack the one that BBCE recently had?

    Yep all three packs were from BBCE.

    +1, and a good probability of some star power in that series.
  • NikklosNikklos Posts: 1,411 ✭✭✭
    We may all love us some '72s but there was nothing to love about that pack so we will move on.

    Sorry to hear this. OC cards or some other issue?
