You sure know how to pick packs. If I rip a pack like that, they're all 90-10 centered if not miscut. You're due for a HOFer here in the next few cards.
Teasing us before you show us the 10-worthy Willie Mays?!

Too bad the centering isn't as sharp as some of the other cards that came out of that pack...

Gil is so upset he is not centered, you can see it in his eyes......
He looks that way because he's been sleeping on the couch after his wife found "lipstick on the collar" the previous night. (That card has a known red ink print defect/variation.) Yours is clean.

I like the Leader Cards - centered or not
Burlap Blazers....
How many cards in total did you get after opening all the packs?
Can you show the back of one of the cards please.
I didn't count them. I just sleeved the ones I plan to grade/holder.
Ed and his "backside". Most of the backs are well-centered.
I love the years when the backs are a cool color like these.
So much cooler than brown, gray or some variation of tan.
The black lettering really POPS too!!
The white is a pure white displaying no toning!
Chris….
Have you had graded the stunning ‘80 Nolan Ryan you pulled? Looks 10 easy…
Hey Monte, I have not yet. I need to get some sent in soon.

I know everything there is to know 'bout the shrimpin' bizzness!
Bubba Maye?
Cards looking good. Like the 1st series burlap much better than series 2 and up. NL RBI leaders coming?
Current obsession, all things Topps 1969 - 1972
I think I have one - gotta take the pic

Unfortunately, no Mays.....
Does anyone else think Pete Ward here resembles Clint Howard?
My first thought was he's lip curling......
Congrats - loves these pack-fresh beautes!

Now we're getting somewhere with the AD! The reds on that front are amazing.
Super sweet.
Some solid looking cards cannot wait to see what PSA grades them.
Some awesome 1968s here! I really like how Topps used to put the little pictures of the best players on some of those checklists in the '60's.
Unmarked checklist from the 60’s… There weren’t any of those in my neighborhood growing up!!!!
I enjoyed seeing yours!
Live long, and prosper.
Too bad not a yellow!
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing this with us.
How many more cards will you be showing?

I think if you measure the card centering it is 55/45 both TB and LR...well within MINT centering standard
Really do like that card. I bought one and sent it to a boutique grader.
That is an absolute blazer!!!
Beautifully centered and dripping with color. Awesome….thanks for sharing!
Centering seems pretty great on most of those. Nice pulls.
