Yes!! I loved this site, LOL!
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.
Thank you, Tim! Great to see ya!
Jeff
Great to see you dusting off the video camera Jeff. Not that I really approve of your delinquent activities.
Not surprised the dark sheep of the unopened world is looking forward to the carnage that awaits.
But I have promises to keep,

Thanks, Mike! Tim just sent me a PM offering a dozen or so 70s rack packs from his own collection. I was wondering if you'd be interested in donating as well?
Jeff
There's a better chance of Mike not wearing socks at the National than of that happening, LOL..

Hiya Jeff
Bring it on!
Looking forward to it.
I cannot wait!
Thank you, Mike! And thank you, Nikklos! I think you'll enjoy the material we're lining up.
Jeff
Geez I hope you don't bring me out of retirement!
Always loved your videos, looking forward to new ones. You taking requests?
The PG withdrawals have been excruciating. I desperately need those sound effects back in my life.
Very much looking forward to this, and great to see you posting again brother!
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
I'm looking forward to more as well. They are definitely a highlight of these boards.
@Nikklos - My job is to entertain and inspire my fellow collectors
@baz518 - Thank you for the love! And I am definitely open to requests.
@galaxy27 - I appreciate the warm welcome back, my friend. It's great to see you again!
@SumoMenkoMan - The friends I've made through the CU boards are a big reason I'm doing more of these videos. There are some great people here, including some true experts in the field. While I'm just a collector (definitely not an expert), I love sharing these rips with you guys. Hopefully I can bring a few minutes of entertainment and a smile to your face.
Jeff
It is great to see these coming back!!! I can only watch that Bird/Magic pack geek rip so many times! Hope you get some big scores!! As Stephen said, the sound effects are a must!!
Jeremy
Looking forward to these...i too love ripping old packs...I've been really busy this year and haven't posted any results recently, but have accumulated a nice pile of gradeable cards along the way...best of luck!
Ohhhhhhhhhh....
Cha-ching!!!
Awesome news! Great to hear you're back, Jeff. You still have a few to knock off that checklist!
Good luck!!
@MantleFan23 - Yes! That was definitely one of my favorite rips. I should mention that I have another 1980 Topps basketball rip lined up as one of my next round of videos.
@pjb103183 - That's one of the benefits of these sort of high-risk pack rips, you typically come out with some gradeable cards whether the star power is there or not. I hope you'll share your rips on the boards, as well.
@porkins - Thanks for the support, buddy! I still have four of the five "Pull Goals" left. So I've got my sites set on knocking a few of those out.
Jeff
Finally!! Sorry for the delay - we've been editing a lot of rip videos. Here's the first rip from the latest batch - a 1978 Topps Baseball rack pack. Enjoy!
Jeff
Thanks for sharing...Love the Louis Skolnick sighting!
5 HOF'ers and "the Bird". Thanks for sharing .
Thanks for watching, guys!
@pjb103183 - I'm obsessed with 80s classics, so I'm always looking for a way to tie them in. Good catch!
@dennis07 - It started off a little sketchy. Thanks for checking it out.
Jeff
Keeping this one hidden to avoid the rippers!
Even I would have a hard time breaking that pack. I love that Bench card showing.
Jeff
Solid header cell! Thanks for sharing. I like the sound effects.
Loved it! This is better than cable!
Thanks for resurrecting the site, Jeff!

Nice first break back, Jeff
Good luck, and keep 'em coming!
Guys - thank you so much for the kind words. My plan is to try to post a new video every week, as long as I can.
@lahmejoon - Thank you! Not everyone likes the sound effects, so I'm happy to hear when people do.
@grote15 - I really appreciate it, Tim! Deep down inside, I think you're a secret pack ripper.
@Porkins - Thanks, buddy! Many more to come!
Jeff
Shhh, don't tell anyone, Jeff! Cpamike already has a strong enough inkling as it is, lol..
The sound effects are awesome!

Watching, always watching.
Jeff, great reboot for the site. While I still don't condone with type of activity, it is nice that you share with the rest of the Collectors Universe. For 1978, and Tim can correct me if I'm wrong, most of the big hits are in that first section as you saw in the video. Only Ryan in the middle and, of course, Trammel/Molitor in the far section are not in there.

It wouldn't be Pack Geek without the sound effects
That was fun to watch!
funny--but why no love of the Yaz card?????
Mike - I keep it 10 feet away from my desk in my office and have zero desire to rip it open. Have always been that way. Being a huge Bench fan it is a favorite of mine. Would love to find a 1976 rack with a Bench showing - favorite card as a kid growing up.
KC
I agree, the 1976 Bench card is my personal favorite too. That would be cool to find a 1976 rack with that one on top. I was able to get a 1974 rack with Seaver on top which is my favorite card of him with an assist from Dave (70ToppsFanatic). Good luck on your quest.

Thanks for reincarnating this series, certainly enjoyed it back in the day, and look forward to the new rips!
Do you normally rip on similar days each week or just random times? I subscribed and am ready to see some new gems unleashed!
@Time4aGansett - Thanks for watching the videos! I'm having fun doing them again.
@secretstash - The goal is to release a new video each week (likely on Wednesdays). Speaking of - I smell a new post coming...
Jeff
Here's the latest rip video: PackGeek rip #20 - 1984 Donruss wax & racks.
Jeff
Not much in the way of star power but still a hella good time! Looking forward to future rips...
@pjb103183 - thanks, man! More to come!
Jeff
Thanks....opened several boxes of those back in 1984. Always liked the 1984 design, and for the most part, the cuts were clean....unlike the first few years of Donruss baseball.
@rookiewax - how was our luck with the boxes you opened? Did you average on Mattingly per box?
Jeff
Awesome video, Jeff! The visual special effects take the piece to a new level, lol..

@grote15 - thank you! We're trying to mix some entertainment and production value in there.
Jeff
I still have the 3 Mattingly rookies and the 5 empty wax boxes I pulled them from...so my luck was only so-so.
Here we go, friends! More sippin and rippin! PackGeek rip #21 - 1979 Topps Baseball rack pack.
Jeff
Great stuff, Jeff. Only a matter of time before you connect hard!
you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
Always quality entertainment! These videos give me a serious urge to rip some vintage
