Uffdah’s RIPPING Journey – Packs and Vending – All Sports and Non-Sports

Shame.......shame........shame..... I love UFF but he must be bludgeoned for shifting the focus from the great Jim Brown and his great pack pull to update us on those two pulls. I could see if it was Bronco!

It’s amazing how well centered most, if not, all the cards in the pack are.

Chris, was the top card on the pack centered, so you could assume the remaining cards were likely centered as well?

The 62 haircuts are back in vogue

Top of the morning everyone. Monster News to share!!

Over a week ago my 1958 Topps Jim Brown ROOKIE that I personally pulled from a Cello Pack back in 2021 bumped to a PSA 8.5 !!

Well deserved! Should have been an 8.5 to begin with. Congrats!

That Unselfish is HOT

Why is one of the 1969-70 cards labeled as ‘70 and the others as ‘69 ? I’m sure there’s a reason.

I was very confused until I realized the first column wasn't minutes.

Good thing it wasn't a close game. Could you imagine getting 45 points but losing because you only shot 5-14 from the line?

He was a horrible FT shooter. One year he shot 38% from the line. Even Shaq wasn't that bad. Wilt easily had the worst form, he would use one hand. Ben Wallace was probably the only player who shot worse FT's than Wilt.

Don’t know what it is about the 78 Rollie, but that card is always the best centered and condition on any 78 box, pack or rack I open.

I get a Murray and it’s a 6. I get a Fingers and it’s 8/9.

Some more grades rolling in.

That Mike Reid card is cool. A cool fact:

Born and raised in Altoona, Pennsylvania, United States, Reid attended and graduated from Pennsylvania State University, where he played defensive lineman for the Penn State Nittany Lions football team. He then spent five seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals in the National Football League, earning trips to the Pro Bowl after the 1972 and 1973 seasons, before retiring after the 1974 season. He subsequently focused on his musical career, co-writing several hit singles for country music artists, including Ronnie Milsap's "Stranger in My House", which won a Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 1984. Reid later began a solo recording career, releasing two studio albums for Columbia Records. He charted seven singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart as a singer, including the number one hit "Walk on Faith".

79 Football...

Do you find that cards pulled from wax in trays tend to be in better condition (not counting centering or printing) than in loose wax?

Those Namaths are amazing. Great color and centering. Just super-cool.

That bottom Joe is wonderful. Might it be the matching pairs of tiny black dots on the Namaths keeping them at 9 (at top/ bottom in white borders, just left of the J in Joe)?

Good catch...
