My New Years Resolution 2018 - Wax Packs are to be opened (unless they have some stars showing!)

Too much fun!...Wow, that was a fun box to rip!...Dang, the first 4 packs on top each had the Jordan Slam Dunk, I was thinking maybe 2 per the box, but I'm quite happy!!...Lots of scans here, lots of Jordan's, Johnson's and even a few Bird's!..

Next up will be a box of 90-91 Hoops Series 1. Pull some more Jordans!...I also found another box of 89-90 Fleer that I will open shortly!

All done with that box, wow, not very exciting...Got some Jordan's but it's really not an inspiring product to open but it's done and here are the goodies!

Onto my next fun rip!..got a 90-91 Fleer box to open...Looking for stars on the front and back of packs and of course more Jordan's!

Dang, I didn't get a chance to make an update last night, but the pulls were not too exciting. The other half of the box did't have a Jordan, but I found a pack with Magic on top, so I sat that one aside and here's the rest of the excitement!..

Onto a box of 90-91 Hoops again next, get me some more Jordans!...After this box, I have another 89-90 Fleer box to rip!

Finished up that box!...Only got the AS Jordan on the other half, but quite happy with everything else. Onto my next box!

Which is a nice 89-90 Fleer!...Hoping the centering is better than the last one

Wow, half way thru, popped 2 more Magic cards, but none of them gradeable and Jordan showed up too!..Probably the best of the batch, but still not gradeable. Centering on this box has been terrible!...Did put aside a Bird AS on top pack and here's what we got from this batch

Well to change it up a bit, I have been also scanning in some Jordan's I recently purchased...Since you can never show enough Jordans, here's a bunch for view!...Funny how some 8's look like 9's and some 9's look like 10's...Going to spend some time later studying these puppies to learn more about this thing we called grading

Sorry for the scan heavy, but it's Jordan and I approve this message!

Okay, finished up that box, didn't pull another Jordan but set aside my normal 3 packs of All Stars (Jordan/Bird/Magic) and still got a few more nice stars. Centering not good, this box wouldn't be worth submitting, but holding onto the star packs is what I like to do!..Onto the next rip...It's the wonderful, fantastic, very colorful.....

1991 Fleer Baseball
Why in the heck would I subject myself to these bright yellow cards? To find my stars on top packs, of course!...Not sure why they ever picked yellow, but the would have worked a great reflectors!...Anyhow, I have 2 boxes to start with on these (and a few more in the container), so let's rip and find those star packs on top...Not much else in this box, Griffey/Thomas/Ryan/Ripkens and that future star, Luis Gonzalez. Wow, I hadn't looked up his stats lately, pretty nice numbers for 18 years in the leagues...2 more years and he would have probably had his 3000 hits and this 1991 Fleer box might have skyrocketed to $10 a box! Oh well, more fun ripping!

Okay, had some more Jordan's come in today, so I have to put them here..Maybe I'll win for the most scans This has been approved by me

Speaking of Jordan's, here's some more!

Half way thru the box and dang, more Jordan regular issues...4 more to be exact, so 12 packs in and I pulled 8 regular Jordan's..Probably nothing gradable, but still quite fun!...Another 13 Jordan's total out of 8 more packs!..

Wow, that was one cool box!...24 packs and I pulled 13 regular issue Jordan's...What are the odds on that happening? That was a fun rip!..Unfortunately, I don't think any of them are really worth grading, but still quite a blast to pull!..

Up next will be an 89-90 Hoops box, the 1st series so more Jordan's and finding Robinson rookies!

I was waiting for the rookie sensation card! I love those. I really enjoy this thread!

Thanks! I'm having a blast with this too!....Yea, I got quite a few of the rookie sensation cards, but figure, just one Payton. The rest were all players that really didn't amount to much...

Dang, and figure it would be on a Probstein auction too!...Wonder if the winner goes back and says, hey, the holder is labeled wrong and asks for a refund

actually now that I'm thinking it, I'm surprised they didn't write the title of the listing using the name on the label

1st box of 91 Fleer done!...Wasn't too shabby!..Always nice pulling Ryan/Griffey/Thomas and Ripken cards! (these were the top ones graded from this set). Also a couple of adds to my unopened collection, with another Maddux on top pack..Sure wished there was a cheaper way to get those graded since they aren't worth a ton, but still quite cool!...Anyhow, onto the next box, but I think I'll open a 90 Skybox basketball first just to mix things up..Nothing much in this box, it's pretty bland, but the Jordan's are usually centered nicely...

If you ever find unopened packs with Ryne Sandberg showing, I'm a buyer!!

Thanks, but I actually keep my Ryno packs...I hate to show you this link, but you can see what I have found so far

It might be considered overkill but I like em'

Finished up that box, was happy to pull 2 Jordan's and another Shawn too!...Not much else excitement there, but they are nice looking (and at least centered a bit better!)

Back to the 91 Fleer baseball..I think after that I have found some 92 Topps Baseball "Gold Winner" packs without stars on top...Thinking I might need to rip a few of them next

Finished up that box of 91 Fleer, nothing to holler about, but did get another Bo Jackson on front pack and another Pro Vision showing, this one with Mr Strawberry...

Onto a box of 92 Topps Gold Winner packs. Think there's around 70 in this box, back when I bought a ton of them, pulled all of the star on top packs and sold most of the other back and it helped pay for quite a bit of my collection of those...Not sure why I have these lying around, but I think it will be fun ripping to pull those cool ones with the gold labels...We'll see how it goes!

A bit over half way thru the 92 Gold Winners and we have a few "winners"!...Geez, if Cliff Floyd....well let's say I would be drooling!....

Anyhow, I got me one of those ultra rare Nolan Ryan cards, the one's with most of the gold gone!...Think if back in the day, you won the pack, and ripped it to find your Nolan like this!.. Ugh, the fun of junk wax!

Oh well, time to continue, pulled some good ones, was hoping for a Griffey or Thomas, but I still have some left...At least I have those in my unopened collection

Okay, before I start on opening some really fun (yawn) 88 Donruss, figured I needed to put some more Jordan's up to make things more exciting...I approve of this message!

Not too much new, but I have gotten thru a few packs of lovely 88 Donruss and here's what I got so far!. Always fun pulling stars, but geez, quality control on the dude cutting these cards was definitely not there...Centering is terrible!...But that is what makes it fun!...

Just because it's Sunday and there's never enough Jordan's!

Okay, I couldn't help myself, I ripped 3 packs total...Centering, terrible..Condition of packs, quite nice. Gum was clean and almost no residue on cards (not that it mattered, nobody on top/bottom of value. Shame on the centering, but at least i know the box seems to be quite clean, seals were nice and here's what we got so far, nothing that would warrant grading IMHO, but still nice pulls!

Ripped 3 more 81 Topps!...Figured out how to see the player on the back, of course that was after i pulled the Fisk AS, but hey, now I know just in case going forth!...Finally found 2 cards that have the 50/50 centering (or pretty dang close) plus 2 HOF'ers out of those 3 packs...Too much fun!...Will have to pace myself on them...Back to a few more fun 88 Donruss packs!
