I used to do intermittent fasting because I was worried about overconsumption. Nowadays, I do intermittent slowing by taking naps in between naps in between naps after a good night's sleep.

Congrats on the grades. Well deserved. TBH if I look at Yaz and Garvey no idea why Garvey is a 10 but Yaz is a 9. I would say the Yaz is actually nicer. Every one of these cards is gorgeous and I covet the Reggie Jacksons.
Perhaps you are destined to assemble the best 1977 OPC set. You certainly have an amazing start, which would also provide a great story to the set. I once heard that E. Haeberlin, who formed one of the finest collections of Roman Republican coins, decided to specialize after a great purchase opportunity presented itself. Could be fate at work again here!
Absolutely phenomenal cards. Congrats. That painted hat on Madlock is wonderful. I miss those. We should get some short prints in 2025 with mediocre paint jobs. Give me some super scarce Juan Soto Kyle Tucker Max Fried Blake Snell cards where someone quickly paints their new cap on a 2024 picture.

Tom,
This is box was absolutely loaded with perfectly centered cards. The fact that PSA actually put them in PSA 10 holders is mind blowing as well. The cards deserved the GEM rating, so it is refreshing to see you rewarded for that. I am speechless and jealous.
Looking for high grade rookie cards and unopened boxes/cases

Just curious. . .how common is it to open a 77 OPC (or 77 Topps) was box and get results like these?
Agree with a previous poster about like to see/have grader notes on why some of those 9's failed to get a 10.
It is extremely uncommon. The cards are notorious for being wildly off center.

Really nice stuff for sure. You got super lucky. Good job!
Those are super sweet.
Congrats.
Wow. That might be one of the rare times where the contents were worth more opened vs sealed.
That's more like it!
Mmmmm.....Valentine Candy.

Tom,
Any Tony Perez 9-10's? I ripped a few of these boxes and believe it's hard to find him not OC.....
Those are conditions that I expect should get 10s. Not 1000% perfect but still visibly great cards that should be 10s every day and all day.
That Carew is wonderful.
These cards have great eye appeal. Love the bright white borders.
buying O-Pee-Chee (OPC) baseball cards
also collecting US & Canadian silver coins
No, We got an 8. I'll have to look it over. I got a bundle of 8's of course🙆♂️
Top card was in my first sub, 2nd card just came back.
My PSA 8 vs PSA 10
Can I get the name of that grader so they can re-grade mine?
Congrats - great cards graded well deserved!
Both of those Candy Mans should be 10s.
It is an insult and crime against the hobby one is an 8.
as long as the back has no issues?
Sure but it better have Mike Schmidt's back or similar because some slight OC-ing shouldn't kill that grade.
Smokin'!

Those are BLAZING.
Love that Madlock.
Congratulations on all those. You got the unicorn box for sure.

The Yount is HUGE! Such a difficult card to find in high grade for so many reasons
Dave Kingman is now a Pop 1
Awesome cards and grades... glad PSA realized how stunning these cards are!
Tom I am very jealous, bruh. Great looking cards.
So nice to see so many 10's. Congrats on a terrific box break!

Lol!😂 A few of my Soto cards….
That box could not get any better.
Still more cards at PSA!
Those 1977s are breathtaking….congrats on the well deserved 9s and 10s. Great Soto stash too…he is a baller!
Insane stuff Tom. Congrats.

My 1977 OPC Steve Garvey was the lone PSA 10 for the longest time. Congrats on getting the second one.
Thanks everyone, Theres more at PSA. I'll update with anymore big hits
What was the lowest grade you received
If I got that Yount I’d consider the box a success.
Don’t ever open another one because you can only be disappointed after this rip!

Tom - love the Garvey. Showing off my 78 and 79!
Absolutely love the Yount!! Grew up with the Brew Crew. If you want to sell it PM me.
