1972 Topps Football Rack Rip

So I ordered a couple racks from Fritsch to rip. I just opened the shipment box to get going and to my surprise I now won't be ripping. One rack has a HOF Charlie Joiner ROOKIE on the front with a HOF Emmitt Thomas ROOKIE on the back! The other rack has a Roger Staubach Super Bowl card on the front! Will post some pics.

    You should be VERY happy with the cards from the middle section on the Staubach pack if you decide to open

    Indeed!!

    Wow, even the other pack's middle section has good odds as well. Great purchase!

    I root for OPENING them. Sounds like two chances at Staubach to me based on the crew here. Can't ask for better odds for opening. Keeping him sealed in the middle seems like the wrong thing to do as those corners slide around until they are revealed. Maybe you made this thread to encourage yourself to show that PSA 10 early...

    Congrats on those packs. Great when 45+ year old cards look like they were just printed.

  • UFFDAHUFFDAH Posts: 1,650 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Appreciate the positive comments very much!! They are beautiful packs and so fresh and pristine!! The Staubach Super Bowl pack is so cool especially how the card is next to the colorful yellow header and Staubach is looking right to the other cards (the layout details I enjoy). I was a Cowboy fan as a kid and Staubach was my Idol!! My wife says rip them based on your hints but I am somewhat conservative and think I have to keep them as is with what is showing. Quit teasing LOL.

    No, I thought he was encouraging you to open them and I am getting my popcorn ready. If you do open them, I would throw a few bucks to see a video of the opening. Start the gofundme. lol

    Lol!! Just Do It!!

    I love opening packs believe me. But I agree with you on leaving it sealed. I have a feeling it will be centered 90-10 TB or LR like I see it most of the time.

    Keep it sealed and it will be worth more as someone will always want to open it. Sealed you can say it is a PSA 9-10 and safe inside.

    I will try once more.

    I would think finally busting a pack makes sense here probability wise and because of the position you are in. Since there are never any guarantees in packs, I would think the value of these packs is up in the air for debate to be certainly above the regular rack price, but I am not sure the ceiling is even close to the potential of the packs yield from opening.

    You already had the plans to do this, so throwing the $1500 or whatever cost was out the window for a moment, the potential Mean Joe, Staubach 1 or an insane more, the Joiner, and others should just about close this deal. Your intention was to pull these cards anyway, and now you have an ideal scenario in front of you where you start with 2-3 you already like and many more potentially hidden inside. The fact that 6 cards show, gave a pretty easy chance to display a card you would have appreciated on the outside of the pack. What else would have held you back I think you should ask yourself. Was it only the Staubach that started the change of heart? I know we can appreciate this due to his RC season, but that is not THE card. If it was, I wouldn't even be in this thread other than to bow down to the glorious rack.

    This itch won't go away.

    That is the best I got bud. I wish you luck tonight.

  • UFFDAHUFFDAH Posts: 1,650 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I have a PSA 9 Staubach ROOKIE. It's very difficult to pull a centenered card with all the extra good stuff etc. so I will probably buy more racks and rip for the fun to get it out of my system knowing it is likely a losing cause......

  • handymanhandyman Posts: 5,237 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Oh dang, YOu gotta show a pic of the 9 now!!

  • UFFDAHUFFDAH Posts: 1,650 ✭✭✭✭✭

    handyman - here is the 9 that I have.

    Did you at least open the Goose? :D

  • UFFDAHUFFDAH Posts: 1,650 ✭✭✭✭✭
