I have only been back at collecting cards since around the first of the year. I like to rip boxes back from when I was a kid like late 80's early 90's stuff. I was curious to see what others like to rip. I also have been in some of the group rips and enjoyed opening some of the late 70's early 80's stuff. I cant nail down a favorite yet but what about you guys?

Although the 83 topps set has a special place in my heart since that was the first year I started collecting.
1989 Pro Set Football series 2: absolutely loaded with HOF rookies and stars, and the unpredictable collation only adds to the enjoyment.
1991 Wild Card Football boxes: pulling a 1000 stripe of anybody or a 50 to 100 stripe of a star is a real thrill.

I have never opened one of those packs. I do have a nice set I got from someone here that was nicely centered cards. I remember opening 86 Football and after. I have always liked those 85's though. Nice choice.
Cheaper now than when originally sold. Great design, RC's, HOF's sensitive borders, Clemente Puzzle. What's not to love?
I will admit the last few boxes I ripped I got a bit bored.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.

I actually have a box of those on my list I gave my wife for Christmas. She asked me where she could order me some boxes so I have made a list and told her how to order from BBCE. I made a decent list so she could still pick up a few and suprise me.

I have a few that I have enjoyed
1989 Topps BB - Nostalgic reasons
1989 Upperdeck
1992 Bowman - Ive ripped 2 of those boxes and those are pretty fun
1991 & 1992 Fleer Pro Visions
1952 Topps

I ripped a box of 89 UD a while back and it was a fun box. I havent opened 92 Bowman since back in 92 I guess they were a hot item back then. As for the 89 Topps I opened a ton of them back in the day and I would probably do it again if I saw a box for 5 bucks or so.
I get giddy for ripping 75 topps baseball but it always leaves me angry and depressed due to cost vs. reward, but yet I still do it.
86 topps baseball is my guilty pleasure as its the first year I was active in the hobby.
<< <i>I would have to go with 1987 Donruss and Topps as well, mostly because it's the best I can afford at this point. I think if I had more money to burn, it would be 1985 Fleer and Donruss. As with 1987, those sets are loaded with great HOF's and RC's. >>
I loved 87 Topps and I would say its one of my favorite designs. I plan on getting an 87 Donruss box sometime. I dont think I have ever opened a pack of them for some reason.
<< <i>81 and 86 topps football for me

Yea, Im not brave enough to rip some of that stuff. Especially when it gets pricey per pack. When I buy some of these older packs I have a real hard time not opening them.
I also love a good box of 89 Score football, and a box of 87 Donruss baseball. 87 Donruss is such a great looking set.
93 Score and Score Select baseball
Topps Heritage any year
They call me "Pack the Ripper"
<< <i>86 topps football or 84 Donruss baseball >>
I would love 84 Donruss as well if I got anything other than commons. That stuff is tough to pull anything out of. Great looking cards though.
Also 87 Donruss

Collecting:
Any unopened Baseball cello and rack packs and boxes from the 1970's and early 1980s.
I have an unopened rack case of the T-206. Not from BBCE. I bought off Ebay from some guy selling his great grandfathers collection. It has a Cobb back showing and it has a Snodgrass showing on the front. I'm pretty sure the sequencing of the Snodgrass indicates a strong probability of a Wagner being inside. Just so I knew it was authetic, it came with a puch of tobacco on the side. PM me if interested
For basketball I love 88-89 Fleer but these aren't as common as they used to be and are close to $500 a box. Great RCs and some awesome looking cards at a fraction of the 86's and 87s.
Football would have to vote 86 Topps since its the only football I ever ripped.
Appreciate today-
Bill
