This was a fun rip Chris. I have 2 boxes but never thought of opening - I've had them over 30 yrs. In 1992, I bought a 79T vending case with the expectation of putting together a minty set - when I saw how an entire run can be OC? Lost the courage.
I've had a good experience just watching you open all those great unopened products over these many moons.
How many 10's are we looking at if this was ripped 5 years ago! Now, my assumption - not so many (???)

Thanx for sharing buddy.
Hey Mike - good to hear from ya!! Yeah 79 has been tough for me on centering and I'm not sure I will try anymore of it.

WOW...1 of 1 is Rarer than some of the 50 and 60's PSA 10 aarons...got to be worth a lot of $$$ it would seem.
Much lower demand and no nostalgia. I'd take a mid 50's Hank Aaron in even 7,8,9 any day over a Hand Garon calculated manufactured rarity. It's a border clamped over a partial index card!
BTW how much is Aaron's auto worth on a plain index card? Not much, and there are PLENTY of his autograph on paper or photos out there to manufacture thousands if not tens of thousands of other "rarities"
But Yes a Very Nice pull or what ever it's called in these situations

Good points...prolly PSA 50's and 60's aarons have a much higher demand and therefore higher price than a 1 of 1 card. It is interesting at any rate

Then go buy the cards you want its as simple as that. I don't see you spending money ripping or hitting anything old or new. Just buy what you want and move along instead of insulting what people enjoy. DUH.

Apologies. My only intention with that post was to state to HOMETOWNSPORTS why the 50s stuff Aaron in high grade is (or should be) higher valued . You are correct it has no place in this thread.

Thanks and appreciate your PM. Old stuff is still the king of collecting. I still have my 54 signed Aaron.
Out in a deer hunting blind right now. When I get a chance at a computer Ill share the story behind the cut auto Aaron. From discovering I hit it to finally taking delivery. Hank is my favorite of all time and I think he might have had some divine intervention.
I recall the many times when as kid or teen I would spend the day covered in Deer Urine out hunting with my Dad. My sisters insisted it was an improvement for me.

UFFDAH,
I just got back from BBCE a full Set Case of 1982 Donruss FASC,
Maybe I’ll crack one
Hey Mike - good to hear from ya!! Yeah 79 has been tough for me on centering and I'm not sure I will try anymore of it.
Good luck if you do - 82 is fun!!
A month or so ago I jumped in on a 20 case break of 2025 Topps Tier One "Pick your Player".
Rather than go for the modern fellas I tried for the Legends. I picked Mays, Aaron and Brett.
I hit 2 out of the three!! Both product chase cards!
1 of 1 Aaron Cut Auto and a 1 of 1 George Brett Auto/Bat Knob.
Nice pulls!!!
Live long, and prosper.
That's the nicest Hand Garon card I've seen - really clean Monte and the Fe Mitt card ain't too shabby either.
You pulled some nice cards on that rip. I've never participated in one - who was it? I used to watch a lot of Layton Sports and Jaspy's.
