Ben's Pack a Day videos

BenG76 · March 14, 2018 12:48PM

I have been putting up a video of opening at least a pack a day on my YouTube channel. I am working through some newer packs and what I have on hand. I have ordered some other stuff from BBCE that should be included in the coming weeks. Here is a link below to the playlist if you care to watch them.

Nice 87T pack, Ben.

Too bad the Elway has the print mark - the cards look nicely centered and sharp.

Cris Collinsworth - my wife saw him doing commentary and said he doesn't look like a FB player - my question: "what's a FB player supposed to look like?" She said: "Bad." What?

minnesotahusker · March 27, 2018 11:26AM

Holy Hall of Famer and star pack. Nice hits.

BenG76 · March 27, 2018 1:59PM

Nice score on the Ripken. Did you just recently buy the pack or was it from a long ago purchase?

It was a recent purchase from BBCE. A lot of the older stuff I'll be doing the next little bit is from a recent purchase from them. I do have the odd pack here and there that I got from elsewhere.

Gotta say, Ben, I really love these rips: short, sweet, and scratches the itch I have to open my hoard. Keep 'em comin', man. I'm a '76er as well!

Great Ripken card, Ben.

BTW - for me Puckett and Clemens would be "key" - I think also Gooden?

Thanks man. It's hard to think of that sometimes when your talking to a camera.

BLUEJAYWAY · April 10, 2018 12:35AM

Always liked the 85 D. Nice score on the Ripken. I see a Dave"Rags"Righetti in there. Pitched a No-Hitter for the Yankees. Looks like good centering on the 85's.

flcardtrader · April 10, 2018 5:44AM

Great series Ben, thank you!

What kind of overhead camera are you using to create the videos?

Thanks for keeping us in the loop on your ripping adventures - good luck on future rips.

If you saw it you would laugh. Basically I film on a workbench. I have shelves on the wall above the bench.I have a 2X4 attached to one of the shelves and I use one of those tripods that the legs are bendy. I would really like to make a better set up eventually as the tripod moves a bit since the legs are just wrapped around the board.

I admire your spirit Ben.

That's the "charm" of OPC - OCs and Roughcuts R'Us.

Thanx for sharing - looking forward to you hitting a big one.

Thanks man. It's cheaper than drinking and more fun in my opinion

BenG76 · April 12, 2018 12:47PM

Today's rip didn't go so well. 1979 Donruss Rock Stars

https://youtu.be/ffPF6WKzf1c

Stone193 · April 12, 2018 9:07PM

That was interesting Ben.

I didn't realize when it was titled "Rock Stars" that it only meant those 4 groups.

I have to confess, I don't remember "The Babys" - went to youtube and still couldn't remember a single song.

The guitarist you were looking at - appeared to be Paul Stanley who along with Gene Simmons, are the surviving originals of KISS.

Cooptown · April 13, 2018 6:49AM

Ben - great thread. Definitely one of my faves on here.

BenG76 · April 13, 2018 7:09AM

Today I open a 1986 OPC pack. Opened a bonus 2018 Topps series one pack.

Stingray · April 13, 2018 9:24AM

The Babys, Back on My Feet Again, very popular song.

Hiya Kirk

I was in school when this song came out - or just graduating - I listened to "pop" radio in NYC - I was not playing in a band at that point.

I feel like I lived under a rock back then? I don't remember the song - playing it on youtube right now - and not familiar with the band which appears to have been quite popular.

Stone193 · April 13, 2018 1:09PM

Now back to Ben.

Your Donruss packs have stirred a little discussion buddy.

On the 2018 Topps - was the Bellinger a subset card - Future what?

Thanx again - this is entertaining.
