Nice pulls. I opened 3 I think and then decided to go on eBay and try to buy the ones I wished I got and did not. Which was many. 😄 I had to purchase my Jacksons. I love how the team name looks like a hotel vacancy sign. I had not appreciated a Topps design much since the 80s but that one works for me.
Hey all if you are looking to improve a 1971 Topps Hockey Set or are thinking about starting one I have some RIP CARDS coming up for auction in October at Heritage. These came from the VENDING that I shared.
Description:
1971 Topps Hockey High Grade Collection (88). When Topps had a stranglehold on the hobby, one of the accusations they faced was that they were lazy when it came to set designs. The 1971 Hockey release was neither pedestrian nor lazy, it's design is still appreciated after all these years. Offered here is an 88 card collection from that release. These examples offer a fantastic foundation for anyone looking to start and complete this set. A total of 39 cards have been graded by PSA. Includes: PSA GEM MINT 10: 6 cards, #'s 13, 42, 44, 58, 69, 102; PSA MINT 9: 26 cards, #'s 23, 25, 28, 31, 35 Bucyk, 39, 42, 44, 56, 57, 58, 68 (2), 69 (2), 74, 76, 81, 83, 89, 90 Giacomin, 92 (2), 95, 96, 97 Ratelle; PSA NM-MT+ 8.5: 2 cards, #'s 22, 23; PSA NM-MT 8: 4 cards, #'s 11, 82, 103, 112; PSA NM 7: 1 card, #56. Grades overall NM to NM/MT (with Many Mint examples)

These TWO are live on HERITAGE ending this upcoming weekend. Both came from 1962 Cellos that I ripped and shared.
1962 Topps Walt Alston #217 PSA Mint 9 - Pop Three, Only One Higher! Walt Alston, a Hall of Fame manager, led the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers to four World Series titles over an exceptional 23-year tenure. His 1962 Topps card #217 belongs to a set known for its distinctive wood-grain borders and strong representation of baseball's golden era. Graded PSA Mint 9, this high-grade specimen highlights one of the game's most respected managerial figures. One of three graded Mint with one higher.
1962 Topps Robin Roberts #243 PSA Mint 9 - None Higher! Robin Roberts, a dominant pitcher of the 1950s and Hall of Famer, was known for his remarkable control and seven consecutive 20-win seasons with the Phillies. His 1962 Topps card #243 comes from the final stages of his career and is part of a set recognized for its wood-grain border design. Graded PSA Mint 9, this high-grade example stands among the finest known for this veteran legend. One of eight graded Mint with none higher.
Have you decided what you will do with your PSA 10 1962 Topps card? Team set card with Mantle. Just curious I no longer collect sports cards and it would be way more than I could ever afford just wondering what it would sell for. My guess is a LOT of money!!!

I’m blind, I’m blind!!
How many boxes did you open to pull all these inserts?
Whoever is doing the graphic design on this set REALLY needs a better editor.
Those things hurt my eyes to look at them.
I think it was 5 boxes. I mix of product.
Good hits on just 5 boxes congrats!!!

Hello - I am keeping the PSA 10 1962 for now. Too hard to part with for now.
Switching gears to some NON SPORTS.
The past couple weeks I tried some 2025 Topps Chrome Star Wars group breaks on Fanatics.
During the breaks I chose Characters or Groupings I was interested in. I was never in time to snag a VADER spot.
Just sharing the "keepers". Others I plan to part with.
UFFAH
Got my 1978 Basketball vending box today. I’m going to open it tomorrow!
Awesome!! I hope you hit some good ones!!!
Some very nice pulls (Star Wars)!!!
Wow, how many breaks did you go in on? Those are some tough pulls, I think - like several cases worth of hits.
I participated in breaks where upwards of 5-6 cases were opened. It was pretty entertaining with the cards shown and the participant chat.

I’m pretty sure I see a little Darth Vader there!!!
Live long, and prosper.
