Friend from kid days visiting tonight and will tackle these....
Love it! I've been stockpiling boxes and packs for a while. Looking forward to having many rip days with the nephews and great nephews when I retire in a few years.
Man, that one on the left...it's pretty fantastic. The borders look really sharp. The pose looks very much like the 79 and 84 Topps poses. Classic Brett.

Thanks!! - yeah they are pretty sharp. He placed the autos really nice!! Loved watching Brett back in the day.
Curious since you seem to be more of a vintage collector have you considered taking all these newer cards and trading for some big name rookie HOF from vintage cards? Personally I would rather own say a nice Bobby Orr rookie card versus the new stuff but I get that you may be into both new and old.

I'm into both its just that I grew a large and valuable collection with some great Vintage and sold it in 2020 through Heritage as the Midwest Masterpiece Collection. I actually had a PSA 7.5 Bobby Orr Rookie. I'm kind of just doing something new and different for now. Plus the Vintage cards in higher grades are so expensive now. I have a lot of money tied up in Real Estate now that I enjoy daily rather than valuable cards stuck in lock boxes that I once had.

This sounds like my recent go-round. I sold probably 90% of my collection in the fall because I just got tired of having them in boxes and all that. Now, I'm dipping a toe into trying some interest in new stuff. Lost the need of chasing the vintage. Just came off a real estate flip too.

Even the Ultra’s got ripped! Great way to spend the day/evening.
They were all well centered!
It's the singer not the song - Peter Townshend (1972)
Not even a minute do I buy the whole buh buh buh I'm a man-child japery - Me (2025)
Good luck Chris, free that Gem Mint 10 Rickey rookie from his blue Topps picture cards cage!
buying O-Pee-Chee (OPC) baseball cards
also collecting US & Canadian silver coins
You should submit the Ultra box top and have PSA mark the cards "from an Ultra rip fest"
The Murray and Rose are awesome.
Let me guess. Since this is an 80 issue, the backs are way off center...
Backs are good

Are you done with the 80 vending box or are more photos coming?
Done - no Rickies - some nice centered commons - The 3 above are the best hits
Coming from someone who has ripped 216 of those 1980 boxes, that sucks!
Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports
'85 Topps USFL sets are little nuggets waiting to be found, though the prices have risen lately. I've managed to grab a few.
A couple redemptions back.
Getting some more Autos back from cards I ripped - these came from wax packs.
Nice Raines, Chris!
Thanks!!

Why is Raines' signature so small? What's he doing there? So weird.
The Brett is probably my favorite card from the 82D set. They really improved so much in 1 year.
Last from the AUTO batch....
SWEET!
Some more grades coming in.
1/1 Sketch Card
Yowza Yoda...That LOOKS ICONIC...Man, not sure how many 1/1 FACTORY yoda cards out there but seems like not many...Hmm very hard to value it is
1/1 Sketch Card
Rookie of the Year!
Jersey #1 ----- of Ten
KOOL in the Gang
,,,the first 01 of a limited run chase card/insert gives it that extra pizazz which collectors value...
