Classic rip. For the entire group rip we bought over 40k from Steve.

I pulled a Jordan RC that ended up grading PSA 8 from that one. Still have the rest of the cards from these packs.

We also did a box of 1972 Topps Baseball Series 5/6 in that rip and from my packs came a Ryan (PSA 7), Rose (PSA 8.5) and about a dozen PSA 9/10 commons.

So cool to take a look back at those prices and product! Thanks for posting those!

It had to be the most complicated break and send Steve ever ran. I remember he’d have to send them in batches - because he’d randomize packs, wrap seal, send. He did all the break outs I think. Are any other folks from that break still active here?

Dave, I still have the Jordan I bought from you. I had it reholdered a few years ago.

Beautiful card, Bobby!

Here are my two packs that I got graded

When I received the packs back from PSA, there was a small tear on bottom left. What impact will this have on price? 95% of market value?

Here's the original thread. IIRC, all 3 Jordan's were pulled, so it's unlikely there's any in my two packs.

...and, from the original thread, here's what your Jordan looked like pre-slabbed:

Yes, I participated, under my old username. Sadly I passed on the '86 packs, I got in just to break some wax. If I remember correctly, there were other big breaks around that time, as I secured the majority of old school FASC wrap boxes I have in my collection. The good times for sure. Mark spent a lot of time hosting the breaks, wonder where he is today?
