So I ripped a 1976 Topps baseball vending box this glorious July 4th weekend. You're going to have to take my word for it - in mu haste I did not take a picture of the full box. Thought the results were promising. I have scanned the highlights of the rip so I can scrutinize them better. Thought I would share as I go along.

You've got a great card there!
Wish the Aaron were better centered.
Bench looks great.

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.
Was this by chance the PWCC box?
No way!
Thanks guys for the well wishes!
That was just before he went to the Yanks.
In 1978 I was at Yank Stadium in the bleachers.
A guy kicked over this lady's beer.
She said hey *&^&! You go buy me another beer!
The guys told her to F Off!
I swear, she jumped him! Pulled off her shoe and started beating him with it.
The shoe wound up in center field - it was between innings.
Rivers nonchalantly scooped up the shoe and tossed it back without even looking!
They were both arrested.
Ya gotta love the bleachers!
Are the corners really sharp in person?
Nice Rice. How's the reverse on the Bench?

And corners as sharp as can be Mike!
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Thrilled to see you hitting some nice results on this break.
I've got a few 80 vendors I'm wanting to break, but can't for the life of me figure out how they grade those cards. So I've been holding out. One of these days...
Continued luck Chris!
You and Phillip seem to have such good luck ripping 70s product, you give all of us regular and part-time rippers hope.

Thanks! Trust me, they grade those 1980 cards hard. But still rip 'em!
And those are the highlights folks!
Too bad on the centering with the Eck tho.
Edited to add: How's that Crawford look up close? Looks real nice from here ... now that card in a "10" is $200.00+.

Ya gotta love the Rivers card.

Great post and story Mike!!! You certainly paint a very vivid picture!! If nobody else on here appreciated it or found it funny, I certainly did!!
Great cards too Chris!! 76 is probably my favorite set, the second year I bought packs although I did open a 75 rack a few weeks ago in your honor!!
I have also opened two of these 1976 vending boxes this year and gotten zero Ryans.
Just checked the July specials and nothing too appetizing there. The bulk of these will have to wait for a cheap special but I guess more than a few are worth an $8 gamble.
great thread and always enjoy
