1972 Topps Series 3 BB wax pack rip - This will make you cry!

So anyway ripped this '72 Topps wax pack on Memorial Day.


WARNING: the following images may be disturbing to some individuals on this board.
Sorry about the annoying glare on the cards. Could really control the lighting situation.
Let's get the gum and wax cards out of the way first. Blass took a particularly ugly gum hit. But that is not what is so disturbing.


Horace Clarke took a little gum too.

Ok no gum bleed but boy this pack is looking bad.

Ok not a great pack so far but things don't start turning truly tragic until the next card.

Oh the humanity!
Two legends. Two iconic cards in one pack. And I am crying the blues...
Last two cards look very sharp~is either a tough one?
Motton looks like the best card.

I could really use some Big Tooth around now.
<< <i>Thanks for sharing the rip (and all the other ones you do). The shame is, if you opened the pack in 1972, you'd be thrilled. Nobody noticed or cared about centering then. >>
At 10c a pack, centering wouldn't bother me now, either, lol..

I took some harsh comments on my youtube break videos from collectors claiming I ruined all the fun by talking about the condition on every card. They said they would be happy to pull a '71 Munson and wouldn't care that it's miscut. Of course they didn't have to shell out big bucks for the pack either.
Nikklos- that is a sweet checklist as well. Is there a stain on the back the reason you did not mention it being nice?
1954 - I don't have it in hand but the checklist struck me as being a little too o/c. Probably had the stain too.

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.
<< <i>No matter the centering, it is still awesome to see 2 of the all-time greats in one pack. >>
+1 I would actually be happy with the Clemente and Aaron in my set. Nice pulls!

Agreed. I'll take them off your hands.
Cool pack though

Thanks for sharing yet another rip. I think the board needs to create an award for most entertaining threads created and I nominate you for the award.

Thanks for sharing your grades. PSA has been very tough this year. You'd think the star cards would have been 8(OC) or 9(OC). I assume you didn't specify 'no qualifiers'?
