I have only been on this board for a few years (I lurked for a year or two before joining), but this one is definitely in my all-time top 5.
Maybe top 3.
'Sir, I realize it's been difficult for you to sleep at night without your EX/MT 1977 Topps Tom Seaver, but I swear to you that you'll get it safe and sound.' -CDs Nuts, 1/20/14
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
I just opened a 1975 baseball pack and here is what I got:
Nolan Ryan Nolan Ryan Robin Yount George Brett Hank Aaron Hank Aaron Pete Rose Rookie Catchers(Carter,Hill,Meyer,Roberts) Bob Gibson Johnny Bench Rookie Outfielders(Rice,Scott,Augustine and Mangual)
And card # 513....D.Pole
All of these are pack fresh, 50/50 to maybe 55/45 at worst centering except for the Pole which is probably miscut(Gosh I hate when a Pole is miscut! Anyway....I don't have a scanner, so I can't post any of the cards, sorry. Good luck on your collections!
This makes me think there should be a weekly post like Saturday Raw scan day that brings back a great oldie post, like this 88 Pack Rip. The ones that didn't go *poof*.
Kiss me once, shame on you. Kiss me twice.....let's party.
<< <i>A bump is long overdue. In fact, this thread should be bumped every 6 months for prosperity. I'm going to put it on my google calendar notifications. >>
I couldn't agree more. Where's the accompanying thread where you pulled like an '87 Jordan and an '85 Rowdy Roddy Piper out of the same pack? That was one hell of a wax bust, as I recall.
Bobby, I'm asking you man to man that you don't turn this thread into a typical Bobbyw dumpsterfire. There are some threads that should be sacred and not be sullied by the ramblings of a crazy person with no sense of humor or ability to detect sarcasm who takes every comment in the forums as a personal attack. I beg that you please allow this glorious thread to stand on its own original merits. Thank you.

I apoligize, but I am not a bot. Shall I do like StormTrooper and create a nice little ALT I can hide behind to create havoc and mischief??? Please let me know so I can work on that ASAP! Thank you!
PS - I was sincere about ripping up my opened 1988 Fleer Basketball Wax. I think your anger seems to be misdirected. Why don't you focus more on StormTrooper rather than me Lee???? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm????
The only person that cared about your 88 Fleer boxes is gecko and he's long gone. This thread isn't about you. It's about someone else acting like a complete moron. Why are you trying to steal his thunder?
<< <i>Did the op left the forum after this thread or just ignoring this thread? haha >>
I don't know if he stopped posting immediately after this thread, but he definitely wasn't around for a whole lot longer.
I do agree that the thread is wonderful. A CU hall-of-famer for sure.

This thread has a partner thread, in which the primary conflict is over the legitimacy of a Mantle auto. And I think there's also a third, which centers around some kind of Babe Ruth watch.
Taken in sum, these represent--in my view- the godhead of CU threads. MMYNC has had his share of rivals over the years, but on a sheer word-for-word basis no poster has ever given these board so much.

<< <i>this thread was/is still amazing!!! Makes me miss a lot of those old posters here >>
Yup, every time I read these old epic threads, they always remind me of how many solid contributors have left over the years.
<< <i>Did the op left the forum after this thread or just ignoring this thread? >>
Last login was October 2010, so he stuck around for quite a while, but didn't post nearly as often after the threads highlighted here I think.
<< <i>Best part about this thread (among many) is that the OP NEVER replied once. Fantastic. >>
At least he knew when he was busted! Although think how much epic-er this thread could have been had he taken the approach he did with the Mantle auto!

I agree with nam.

<< <i>More Bumpage........another all-time favorite >>
Those were the days. Not sure how I managed to not post on it before. Man Gecko was an idiot.
Can someone please bump the collection manager thread next?
I am always hopeful someone will do a high profile rip of some vintage pack and include an 88-89 Jordan, or better yet Joe Kleine, in the scans.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.
