Yeah guys,
I seen this sitting on my LCS's shelf and thought I'd give it a shot!
McGwire, Bonds, Jackson, Canseco, Larkin...
plus a few more Rookie chances. Along with all those historical players back then.
This is when
"Baseball was Baseball"
I know it's not an earthshaking series
but I wanted to break the monotony!
😆
Besides, If I do pull a real clean WINNER? I might send it in?
Especially, if it's a high conditioned,
Barry Bonds!
Let's GOooooooooooooooooooooooo

Operation more than as a player!
He was fantastic!

Great Players
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.You left out Rafael Palmeiro Dave Magadan Bobby Witt (Sr.) Devon White John Kruk Canseco First Topps Card gold trophy McGwire Mattingly Doug Drabek Bobby Bonilla Kevin Mitchell Kal Daniels and Ruben Sierra. 😄
87 Topps was a fun set for a lot of potential nice, even if not incredible, pulls. I bought a cheap case of vending boxes about 6 years ago. Went through about 17 boxes and probably not one Mint Bonds. But did get a couple PSA 10 Larkins. I think a McGwire PSA 10 also. Cant complain. Canseco similar to Bonds. Nothing in the ballpark. Bo kind of Minty but not Gem Minty.
Best of luck to you.
Larkin is seriously undervalued. Dude was a player but he gets overlooked by all the Bonds, Canseco, McGwire hype.
😆
Yeah, I did leave those names out, huh?

I do have 2 of those vending boxes left. Maybe I see if there is any gold in there this weekend. I love that Bo card. These 2 racks I'm leaving as is.
Greg Swindell Mitch Williams Chuck Finley and Jamie Moyer too.
Wow!
This Rookie group sort of reminds you of last year's (2024), super Rookie group!

Best!
I paid $72 for the Box.
After all my awesome pulls.
I do believe I either broke even or I came out ahead?
Esp if I decide to send a few in to PSA!
Thank you guys!

The reason I decided to leave the dreaded "Gum" stuck to Barry, than Top Loading it.
Is because of letting it become an
educational conversational
piece!
So others may know what harm and damage, this terrible idea brings to us poor collectors!

"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.How times have you heard gum is bad for your CARDS. Bet you thought I was going to say health or teeth.
I like it with the intact gum stuck to it.
Is the Bonds warped...or a natural curl like from a vending box?
Nice pulls! Just make sure the math works out before sending to PSA. You'll need 10s to make any "profit". You can buy Bonds or McGwire in a 9 holder for about $15-30 each.
Yeah, maybe natural?

Thinking about sending out to PSA as is, with gum stuck to it, to see if they'll still grade it?
I just thought of something!
The Gum got me twice!
Once with
Bonds and earlier with
Rafael Palmero.

Of course with 1987 Topps packs, we can't "just" open them with our bare hands right? We gotta do it very carefully like so...
