    Those old Kings unis were 🔥 and those straight leg pants the Flyers wore were 🤮

    Those old Cooper helmets were so comfortable! Sad when they stopped making them.

    Such a fun year to rip. Thanks for sharing. My favourite from that year is the Lindbergh rookie. Hope you pull a gem

    Doug Sulliman was an underrated player, but those Cooperalls are doing him no favors.

    What kind of education was UNH providing in the 70’s that Rod Langway would figure it was a fine idea to go all flow in the NHL?

    For me this set is about Stevens. You also have a few recent HOF intros in Carbo and Housley, both questionable IMO.

    Nicholls had a crazy run, more then 40 three times including 70 once. 475 goals, 1200 points.

    Cool break! Will be following this one.

    This is a fun box. Huge 48 packer that will take a while :) Overall so far it;s not a box with centering completely all over the place. Do see some grading candidates. Anyone here do the set ? Will check pop reports of course but if you see any sure fire ones please advise.

    Another gummed Gretzky.

    Woah, nice rip! Interested in the Stevens's, and if you pull any Pelle Lindbergh, Guy Carbonneau or Phil Housely and are looking to move them.

    Main collecting focus is Patrick Roy playing days 85/86-02/03, expect 1/1, National/All-Star stamped cards.PC Completion: 2,723/2,987; 91.16% My Patrick Roy PC Website:https://proy33collector.weebly.com

    Horse, great break! - You should think about putting the Lindbergh rookie in a Card Saver

    Ronnie Francis in the long pants too - I forgot Hartford wore them... thought it was just Philly. Some well centered cards with nice corners, Horse - congrats.

    I remember OPC gum was better tasting and more chewy than Topps gum so whatever made up its recipe makes it unforgiving to the cards in these '80s packs.

    Do you know what THIS IS ?

    THIS IS an unattended half a hockey box sitting on the dining table for a few days now that is really upsetting my wife !

    Commencing rip. But I like stuff like this sitting around the house.

    I don't see large print dots on other cards, or so many of the main player being the gum card in other boxes :) Just my luck. LOTS of gradeables continue to come in, but what the heck do I do at 9 bucks a pop ? It's 10's or nuttin' again and my luck with that sheet is like obsolete.

    That Lanny in a Molson jersey is pretty awesome as well.

    Rest of the box !

    Will wait until completely buzzed now to go through them all again looking for gradeable cards. I can make 8's magically turn in to 10's in my mind after 12 Mich Ultras !!

    (but then the morning after check removes some from the send for grading stack at times)

    Great Rip!. Did you get a Scott Stevens? I ripped a lot of this set back in the day. I sent in 2 Scott Stevens and got PSA 10 on both. A 9 on Lindbergh, and 2 PSA 9's on 2 Gretzky's.

    After your set, I would be interested in any of the Flyers.

    thanks,

    hey Bob, I'll pull out the Flyers today or tomorrow, not building the set so you can have all the ones not deemed '10 worthy' which I think is all of them :) Will get back to you.

    Did get one very good Stevens !
