My 80s/90s Special, 16-card sub, popped today.
This sub was sent a couple weeks before my other 13-card sub, yet this one completed first.
Looks like this one stayed in CA, while the other sub was sent to NJ.
Well, the grades are what I expected with a couple (-1) and couple (+1) to what my pre-grades were.
No crazy (-5) grading point head scratchers this time!
(Funny how I can suddenly grade correctly on this sub and be way off in other subs. LOL)
(Did I mention this sub was graded in CA. Hmm....)
Anyway, half of the cards were 1981 Topps Team CL Sheet Handcut cards, and I proudly say, I did a pretty good job.
(3) 10s, (4) 9s, and (1) 6. The 6 I knew was coming because of card position and the fold in the sheet, but needed for my PC.
Others were PC cards. I was thinking 8s for those and they came (2) 7s, (1) 8, and (1) 9.
A couple of CL that got 9s had a shot at 10, but 9 it is. Hard to tell the difference. At least no crazy 3s or 4s.

Framed on my home office wall, I have my childhood 1978 Topps Team Checklist Sheet Handcut Sheet I sent in wrappers and coins to get. I also had 1980 but never any other year...

Great job cutting those cards!
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
1978 was my first year buying packs....and lots of them.
I had so many multiples of CL, it didn't make sense to send away for the sheet of them. Now, here I am. LOL
With the sheet corners and edges usually damaged and the folds, the sheet doesn't yield a lot of potential high grade cards when cut up. Need to sacrifice neighboring cards sometimes.
Thanks! It was definitely nerve racking.
Congrats on a great sub
