Late Night Rips Reprised...

It's been a long while since I ripped any 1970s unopened packs, with prices rising the way they have, but I recently picked up some vintage wax at a very good price, including half a box of 1975 mini wax packs and some 1978 Topps baseball wax packs. I've isolated a couple of 75 mini wax packs that bore some kind of defect (pinhole tears, broken gum) and will be putting those up on the chopping block later tonight along with the 3 78 wax packs that were broken down from a torn 1978 wax tray. I may even try and get into that last 81 vending box, depending on how things go.

<< <i>I am planning on picking up some 75 minis from now until the National, and then the plan is to pick up a BBCE wrapped 75 mini box or two and put them away. If I want to rip something I won't have the urge to do so if I have packs around. Actually as I have gotten older my willpower has improved to the point I can have stuff in the house and not rip or open it. >>
I use the same logic in that all my unopened is from sets I already have raw. If I feel an urge, which isn't very often

This may be true, but it sure makes for some fun here on the board. Best of luck!!

I have one 77 OPC pack, but that is probably the extent of things unless I root through the vault for some 78s..

When everyone was buying 75T mini packs - I bought some to insure the deal went thru.
I wound up buying 5 - not sure how much - guess about 80 bucks a pack?
I had the ATT guy come in to put in a new modem - my wife was here - I didn't realize till months later that he took the sealed BBCEx package with him.
No way to prove it - so it's my loss. Didn't even think about anything - it was probably on my desk - now if anyone comes in, I stand guard with a Mickey Mantle store bought.
<< <i>I have a disappointing story since we're ripping.

Wow, that's terrible. Are you sure you didn't put it in the closet or sock it away somewhere? If he took them, I wonder what he did with them??

I LOVE the 75 minis - maybe one of these days I'll open some packs myself.
First up: a pair of Robinson HOFers, one from each pack:

I will open 2 more a bit later on.
Here are the best of the commons from the 2 packs I opened. The Messesmith is one I need for my registry set in PSA 8 or better which after 8 long years is now at about 95% completion, lol..

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
