    $40 per rack is a nice price nowadays

    I was able to get a nice discount by adding the Montana and the cello.

    Super stoked....ripped a pack and pulled these puppies.
    Excuse the fuzz on the scans.

    The Montana on the left came from the pack I ripped, the one on the right was purchased along with the packs. Any chance at a 9 on either one? I can't find any flaws other than centering.


    Thanks,

    The Montana on the left looks great. Not sure if it is PSA 9 because of the left to right centering (It might be close). The corners look real sharp so the only thing holding it back would be the centering. Very nice. You did very well my friend. Congrats. Good luck on the grading and let us know how it turns out. I'm sure others with more knowledge on the grading will add more than I can.

    Congrats! That looks like fun!

    Congrats, those racks looked to be in good shape and it sounds like you got a nice deal on them. Both Montanas look solid. I don't think the centering is good enough on the one on the left as both the L/R and T/B centering look a bit off.

    Nice hit!! I'm assuming it was on the pack pulled Montana. Looks like you can parlay at least one of those Montanas into more unopened packs to rip. Congrats!!!

    Well, he also applauded Chris' rip of a 1970 baseball cello pack the other day, so perhaps Mike is transitioning over to the darker side... image

    I wouldn't have been surprised if he was ripping packs during his timeout..... image Its amazing what can happen to a man when he is just left with his thoughts!
