    What does it take to get a PSA 10. Those cards look great.

    The Starship Eater card which was taken fom "The Doomsday Machine" has been pretty much been my favorite episode since as a Child I first viewed it with my dad in the early 1980s

    It's the singer not the song - Peter Townshend (1972)

    Last Card - sometime I need to look at some others from the box to see if I should grade or not.

    These guys freaked me out, watching as a kid.

    Nice room Chris.

    If I did not know better I would say the bad guy in that last Star Trek card was Ted Cassidy (Lurch) feom the Addams Family,

    Assuming you know that they used women to play the Talosians in the pilot. They wanted big heads with tiny bodies and didn't get the look they wanted with men..

    Wow, I had no idea. Thanks for the trivia facts. The giant heads definitely weirded me out.

    Nice, I recall opening a few 81 Topps packs from a CU Group rip and hitting a Joe Montana, OC too but still always a thrill.

    There should a grade higher than a 10 for that card...wow! That's off the grading scale.
    Color, registration and centering are stunning...perfect dark background, too! Here is
    a recently graded 10 in the current Heritage Auction sitting at $19k with 2 weeks to go...you be the judge.
    Look at the registration difference in his face...as well as the overall colors.

    Chris' is a blazing stunner!!!

    Chris thats one awesome card i can see in a 9 or 10 holder depends on grader. I could live with it in a 10 if the backs as hot as the front <3

    Diamond canted slightly ( look at his plant foot then the other side) fyi. Look at the PSA 10 for comparison ( thanks Monte for posting the pic)

    Blazer for sure 💥💥🥰

    Yes, Steve has always taken great care with the Breaks including impeccable shipping at the end. There have been some great Break organizers from CU that have mad skills in keeping things clear, concise and well put together.

    I suspect Steve would help us with a break. It’s the insane lift that organizing one presents as the obstacle. Kudos to all the guys who helped me build my collection over the years.

    I agree - a ton of my pack collection is from breaks. They were so much fun.

    Doing one now could be hard to fill on certain things. A 1975 mini box would be $333 per pack now. When I first joined up here, we were getting them for $30-ish dollars. Of course, that was not long after the Charlie Conlon's hoard was released. I still have a death grip on my FASC box.

    Incredible! I don’t have any of that stuff. I joined way too late. I hope you never sell and just enjoy the hell out of that box for as long as you can.

    Nice pulls from the group rips!
    Rickeys and Montanas are some of the funnest cards to hunt, but they are TOUGH to get in 9s (or higher). Finally hit a Montana PSA 9 a couple weeks ago... although I thought it'd get a 7 or 8 when I sent it in 😬, was 2nd card from top of a grocery cello.

    That is an awesome box to have. I hit a nice 1975 mini Jim Rice rookie. I have to send it in for grading but I think it will grade a PSA 8+.

    To anyone that setup or assisted I thank you!

    I'm guessing 1966 based on the picture above the pack, and also the top left of the pack says 1966, which I didn't notice the 1st time around either. LOL

    1966 Topps FB -and Hockey patterned after 1955 Bowman BB - then in 1970 (Test), 1971 (regular issue) recycled for Topps Brady Bunch.

    Regardless of the issue its a great looking design even if higher grade cards are difficult.

    Wishing you a Namath or a nice looking checklist. The funny checklist (card #15) seems to be the best card after the Namath.
