Pretty Cool Rip

A big thanks to Tim on this one. I bought 5 packs, mostly because one of them had McCovey on back which I've set aside. The first two I ripped were pretty nice, and I got an itch for a rip today and decided to rip another. Damn glad I did.

Crazy, right? And the Reggie and Ozzie are pretty well centered.

But the pack masters couldn't be too kind and made the Ryan the gum card. A little freezer time and I managed just a bit of paper loss.

Without question, one of my more memorable rips.
52-90 All Sports, Mostly Topps, Mostly HOF, and some assorted wax.

    Some big scores on that rip. That Ozzie looks to be a very nice one with centering that beats most examples. Congrats!

    Congrats Jim! That's why we open packsimage Unless I'm missing something it looks like the Ozzie is very nice (maybe an 8 or even a 9?).

    Got a box at a Strongsville show about a year ago for 225 and ripped it. I wanted more packs when I was done. A lot of fun these OPC packs are

    Love the Ozzie and the Reggie. After a rip like that I would have to continue and grab a few packs from another year. Well done and please post the results when you submit them.


    Baseball, it is said, is only a game. True. And the Grand Canyon is only a hole in Arizona.

    Hiya Jim

    Congratulations on the rip!

    You landed some really nice stars - especially the Oz!!! In the world of OPC, that's like a 10!
