Ripping Reward (72OPC & 75 Mini)

I've spent the last 8 weeks prepping for the last 4 days at work. It was a huge opportunity for me to stake my claim to advancement, and it went awesome.
I'd been planning to rip these at the AS Break, but they've become my reward for a job well done and will be ripped between today and tomorrow. Plus, if I luck into anything, I still have time to add to my April sub.
Any suggestions on what should be the opening act and what should be the headliner?
Gotta admit I'm a little apprehensive about the 72 OPC gum. Pretty sure at least one card is ruined. Otherwise it's the hands down headliner.
Thoughts?
Now if I can just have a little Phillip or Chris luck.

Edit to add: Good luck!!
Hopefully only one card is affected by gum.
Here we go...
Glad I started with the 75. Gonna hold off on the 72 until Beer:30

Good luck, Jim, and thanks for sharing!

Will start 72 shortly but likely doing a card at a time to try and stretch out my anticipation.
Catfish was MC but cards would have been pretty solid otherwise as far as centering. Will post after I get them apart.
Looks like I may need to grab another Mini.
Typical for 1972 OPC wax. The gum used this year was brutal!
Good luck with the second mini pack, if you decide to rip it!

In this case, the cat is dead.
Perhaps CPAMike is on to something.
Scratch that thought....these rips make for great threads. Rip away.
Of course, two weeks ago, the cat was most definitely alive for pjb103183.
Better luck next time!
Got A Bruce Jenner Sports Royalty card which was timely given his interview tonite.
Til next time.

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.

Whenever I hear his name lately, the Lumberjack song pops into my head.
I am annoyed with ABC News as they have used both GMA and the Nightly News to have "news" segments, in addition to the actual promos, pretty much each night this week. I'm sorry, but Bruce Jenner wanting to become a chick is news if your name is "Us", "People" or the "National Enquirer".
