Day 12 - Merry Christmas Everyone!!
To end this year's rips I've chosen the '60s cello pack that potentially has the biggest card of the 1960 set based on the sequencing. The pack didn't disappoint, although it could have been soooo much better.
This pack yielded stunning cards and great centering for the most part!! Less than a 1/16 of an each could have made this rip so much more interesting when sending that big card to PSA! It still may have a shot at an 8, the centering is just inside the criteria for an 8, Enough teasing, here are all the cards:
My only worry in the bottom right corner, hopefully they don't deem it MC or trimmed
Thanks for watching another great year of carnage.
Until next year...
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas day and a safe and happy new year.
M/C? Damn ... Do u have a pic of the reverse because the front sure and hell does not look m/c. Too bad.
STAY HEALTHY!

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 don't have a scan of the back, it wasn't MC from what I remember. I stated in the original post I was worried about the bottom right corner which is more noticeable on the back.
I'm sure you probably already know, but there are two kinds of MC. The qualifier, which should be holdered and then there's the N8 miscut that doesn't fit into a holder; usually due to a funky cut. That bottom right may be the culprit.

Finally got the rest of the cards back from PSA from the this rip. Nothing too unexpected, no vintage 10s , but a couple 9s showed up. The results are posted below...
I sent every card from the 1960 cello...
and of course the big disappointment... from my measurements, this is less than 1/32 of an inch off on the bottom right corner!!!!
4 of the 6 cards from the 1963 pack...
4 of the 10 cards from the 1970 pack...
and the rest... the best outcome for the Staubach I could have got! At least one Unitas got graded
Agreed those are some great looking cards. Bummer about the 1960 Unitas. Thanks for sharing the rip and posting the graded results. Always fun to follow.

Awesome looking cards. Too bad about the Unitas. As has been already said, I'd send it back in. Best of luck and thanks for sharing.
STAY HEALTHY!

Awesome to pull Unitas!
That parker has a 0 PSA 10 pop(and only 16 of 227 9s). Any chance?

Johnny U has just hypnotized me in to getting that exact same crew cut. Was this his intent of the kaleidoscope eyes ?
Yea, I've always thought he had kind of a "crazy" look on his face on that card.
Fun rip Scott. Thanks for sharing.
Bravo! Happy Holiday!

Oh dang! Great pull, but sorry about the centering. Thanks for sharing all these pack openings!
Thanks for sharing
Great thread! Some beautiful cards there. Would love to hear the story behind Unitas' facial expression.

It was the N8 type.
AH, OK ... thanks for the clarification.
