It’s unfortunate that you only got one Henderson and no Ryan. That’s a bit of a bummer. The Ignitor is a beaut. I would turn it into a signed delight. 1980 was Moli’s first AS selection.
Been a hot minute since I have ripped anything. Seems like a good night for some bourbon and baseball cards. Let’s do some throwbacks to the 1975 Topps design. A box of 2024 Topps Heritage and a box of 2024 Topps Heritage High Numbers. So many top prospects in these series!
Here were the hits of the 2024 Heritage. Best cards were the two print variations: (1) Bobby Witt, Jr. missing signature 1:35 cases and (2) Julio Rodriguez image variation. The relic was a dud and nothing exciting on the refractors. Also no Elly or PCA rookies this box.
The 2024 HHN box was a bit better. Lots of color parallels and refractors, including a black border numbered to #/75. All the top RCs made an appearance and there was a Mauricio AUTO in the box too.

Great to see you back at it. Good luck with the rip.
How have you been? Ya know, I stopped doing Heritage and Chrome along with Bowman. I'm still going to do TSC for 2025 - I really like the photography although they have a problem with cutting - so it's rare to see a 10; light chips in some of the corners.
Have you ever done a big sub on the cards you were hoping to get 10s?

Any chance you will be opening up some stuff soon? This is my all time favorite thread and I miss your posts.
Anything before 1984 would be awesome to watch.
I do have 1978 and 1979 Topps baseball vending boxes that are begging to be ripped in the future. Life has been nuts lately, but I will get back to ripping again eventually. The price of PSA grading fees is too high to grade commons at this point, so it has slowed down my desire to rip as consistently.

Mike - always good to hear from you my friend! I continue to enjoy ripping 1980s boxes and have been stockpiling Heritage for rips with a vintage feel and today’s stars. It is always a rush to pull an auto. The PSA cost to sub commons no longer makes sense. I have about 1000 stars waiting to be subbed from my rips, and one day I will get around to sending them in. Work has been a bit nuts lately. Hope you are well and adding to your amazing board game collection.

It would be AWESOME to watch you open both or just one of these vending boxes. Especially if you show all the high grade cards you pulled like you have done throughout this entire thread.

Mmmmm, Weller.
I have about 800 1985 Topps miswraps, when I get bored I open 1 or 2. Got a dead centered Puckett last week
