1980 Topps baseball rack pack rip!

I've been slowly putting together a 1980 Topps baseball set in PSA 8 or better over the past few years with as many self-submitted pack-pulled cards as possible and decided to rip a rack pack this afternoon to see if I might be able to fill a few spaces in the set. Per my standing rule of ripping only those packs with visible defects, this rack was missing its header card, so approval for rippage was easily obtained, lol...
The far section (E&F sheets) was pretty tough centering-wise, but the middle and header sections were much nicer, yielding several viable candidates for grading, including a trio of HOFers.

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.
JUst waiting for the mail to be delivered and will join you on the ripping with the 79's

in the 80 set to get a PSA 10. It seems they all have those
blue splotches to the left of his head.
Yours has great centering.
Still my favorite set from that era.
I have some in psa 8 from my failed project let me know if you're interested.
Good luck

Thanks, guys! I may have to get to a 78 rack next!
This is what I was afraid of, we are heading down the slippery slope.

What was all that one in a million talk?
I truly have come to believe that they specially inserted a Mike Jorgensen into every 1980 pack issued.
I bet he had a powerful agent...

Sorry Mike. Maybe one of these days you'll get on the occasional rip band wagon and liberate some of those 70s HOFers.
Don't listen to Mike, Tim. You have a perfectly logical process for what gets ripped and I enjoy every second of it.

He just picked up a 75 rack pack with a punched header card that seemed pretty sharp~that would be a great place to start!

Is the Carew a tough card? The OPC version is a nightmare card to find centered. I got a chance to meet Parker at the allstar game last year. He was a nice guy. Not much of a crowd around him.
It is one of the tougher stars, in my experience. Speaking of 78 OPC Carew, I pulled this one from a wax pack several years back.

Great batch of cards!
