who is ripping 79 baseball racks?

lseecon · April 28, 2015 9:32AM

looks like BBCE just got some fresh cases and boxes in.

baz518 · April 28, 2015 9:38AM

They posted quite a few new things today, but those 79s caught my eye. $145 for case fresh racks seems fairly reasonable for a group rip.

Id be tempted with a nice 10% discount

At 130-135 I think we could easily take down the 3box case.

Would be fun.

two years ago there was a thread about a three box rack case on Ebay which sold for $3000. Amazing to see things change so drastically

Gemyanks10 · April 28, 2015 12:19PM

I would be in for a few of these at the 10% discount as well.

Was that just two years ago? I think it was probably father back than that.

Id be interested in a group rip as well

1954 · April 28, 2015 1:01PM

Tim I believe it was March of 2013.

<< Tim I believe it was March of 2013. >>

I recall starting this thread back in March 2013 which was for a 79 cello case that closed at a shade under 20K, but a 3-box rack case would have probably commanded at least 8-9K back then..

Bout time seeing some 80s hockey in the shop! lol, no 89 Topps though

grote15 · April 28, 2015 2:44PM

I sent Steve an email regarding the 3-box case and a possible CU group break and will keep everyone posted. Would be cool to break open a full case, as all 72 racks have never been touched or seen the light of day since 1979.

Thanks for doing that Tim, I really hope for good news on this. The fact that I know they are from a sealed case like this is enough for me to participate. Again, thank you.

RedRomad275 · April 29, 2015 12:09AM

I would be interested in participating in this rip.

MantleFan23 · April 29, 2015 12:41AM

I would be interested in a rack or two as well.

Thanks!
Jeremy

pjb103183 · April 29, 2015 1:37AM

Ill take one with nolan ryan showing on top, and another with pete rose on top, please...lol...hey, if this happens, these will be a legit possibility!

grote15 · April 29, 2015 1:45AM

Guys, I just heard back from Steve and he has generously agreed to offer the case to us at $9,720, or $135 a rack. I think that is a very reasonable price for a rack that you know is coming straight from a full case and I am going to start a new thread for the group rip on Saturday night at 9 pm EST. I'm pretty optimistic that we will be able to fill all 72 slots.

Gemyanks10 · April 29, 2015 2:06AM

Excellent news! Thank you again for organizing this. I look forward to participating, and hopefully not having a problem filling all 72 slots. The fact that you are receiving racks that haven't seen the light of day since 1979 makes it worth it in my opinion.

flatfoot816 · April 29, 2015 3:10AM

knew that baby wouldn't last long

swartz1 · April 30, 2015 3:34AM

I'll take a rack, please sign me up...

grote15 · April 30, 2015 4:44AM

Mike,

A new thread for rack reservations will be started on Saturday night at 9 pm EST.

Stone193 · April 30, 2015 4:57AM

Those prices are incredible!

I bought a rack case in 1994 - 3 boxes for under 900 bucks and in 1992, a vending case for around 2 grand.

When I go to sell? I'm taking a voyage from which I may never return!

grote15 · April 30, 2015 5:06AM

Mike, is your case sealed? If so, we can fund that voyage, lol.

Stone193 · April 30, 2015 5:13AM

<< Mike, is your case sealed? If so, we can fund that voyage, lol. >>

Hiya Tim - lol.

The vending case is sealed; I sold off a box of racks to a board member - back when these weren't worth anything, I gifted a person here a rack when he said he was sad and broke around Christmas time. Then one of our board members asked for a few racks and over the course of the year bought out the box.

Then, they just languished in the closet till the boom and now? I see no reason "not" to hold rather than fold.

grote15 · April 30, 2015 5:19AM

I hear ya, Mike. The premium for the sealed case is based partially on the unknown--what star racks await inside the case, having never been seen now for over 35 years. I suppose in some sense it's akin to "opening" unopened product without actually ripping anything, lol.

Missed that earlier, thanks 😳

What other goodies are in Mike's Closet?

VintagemanEd · April 30, 2015 6:30AM

How do these group rips work. Who do we
Pay? How do we get our pack?

I'm sure this will be detailed in the official reservation thread when it goes live, but based on past experience:
Payment goes direct to BBCE (including CU forum username and address details)
BBCE ships to each individual when all (sometime most) payments for the group rip have been received.
