I really think so, Doug. It is among the non-HOFers that I've packed away to PSA on the $8.00 special. I know, it would be a good one. Have high gopes for the Murcer too.
I opened a 1976 vending as well. I am curious though based on your results. Did some of the 1976 vending not have traded cards mixed in? There were no traded cards in mine. Much of my box was oc which I was not pleased. No Aaron but an Eckersley, Ryan, two pretty nicely centered Bretts with no pd and a nicely centered sharp Rose. Thanks in advance.

Do you mind posting some scans of the Brett's and Ryan?

Got your VM and now makes sense. Use photobucket which is easy to use. When posting select the item and delete everything outside the [IMG] brackets and you should be good. Thank you.
Not all packs from 76 include traded cards. I would expect the same with vending.

If I remember correctly, the traded cards were released fairly early (like around April of 76)... so they are very prevalent. If that's true, then it's probably harder to find packs/boxes without the traded cards rather than with.
ETA: I also think that each traded card was triple printed, which is part of what makes them so annoying.
I opened two vending boxes a couple of years ago and one box contained 5 Bretts and 5 Ecks. The same box did not have one traded card or any other big named stars. The other vending I received horrible centering on the traded cards and one Ryan with very few stars once again. I believe both boxes had around 10% of extremely miscut cards.
Looking for high grade rookie cards and unopened boxes/cases

I bet that Bench would qualify for the PWCC certified high end sticker.

I love the Tenace card. He was a great hitter!

I had no illusions about the Aaron, Eck and Brett. They were still worth grading.
But the Bench absolutely devastated me. And some of those 9s are heartbreakers.
I haven't got them back yet. I suppose it has a bubble or spider wrinkle but I sure didn't see one.
I am sure on your next sub it will come back a 9............lol
Thanks for the ripping, I love the gamble.

I'm sure you're disappointed by the Eck card?
But, that's a lot of fine cards.
Was the 20 the full sub?
I think I probably have another batch I could pull together for PSA from the box. But these were definitely what I considered my "money" cards.
By the way, Doug (Dbonesq) deserves applause. Every card he singled out got a GEM MINT 10. Every card I singled out s---t the bed!
Thanks Mike. Well, the Eck didn't look so hot. I was thinking 7 or 9(oc). My disappointment was it didn't come out of the box dead-centered lol.

I was talking about the "pull" - it's always disappointing to pull the "case" card and have it be a dud.
Overall - though nice cards. This is what I call a fun crapshoot - if ya would've pulled a 9 or a 10 Eck out of the box? Yahtzee!

I am assuming no bubble or spider wrinkle and this is going back to Newport.
