For those wondering Mr. Uffdah had some concerns/reservations about whether I even collected sports cards etc. This in and of itself is SURPRISING since I have been posting comments and PHOTOS of my ideas, opinions and thoughts relating to the collectible cardboard grading industry for over 5 years.. His concerns/doubts??? seem to be primarily brought about my comment on his new PSA slab case/holder where I indicated as follows:
"This kind of resembles a PSA phone where ONE DAY you can get a 10-minute phone conversation with the player right out of the pack. This is straight from my mind onto what is next in the sports card market. After seeing his PSA "phone case" picture it popped into my mind. People will pay, trade and sell these 10-minute conversation chase cards. you guys get to have some fun working and discussing the details and feasibility of this idea. It seems like the next logical step. OH YEEEAAHHH NEXT LEVEL EXPERIENTAL COLLECTING. Run and have Fun with it"
I guess the idea seemed extremely far fetched to him (and myself for that matter) and he questioned whether I collected anything and wanted me to post some actual photos of some things I collect. So without further a do here is just some of what I collect. ENJOY, HATE, DOUBT or whatever... You are FREE TO THINK?!? but always remember to ROCK ON!!!!

Some more collectibles
Great collection! Those are some fun boxes/packs right there!
Love me some 1979 Topps Hockey wax….nice!
If you look a bit closer on a few of the pics you will spot a photo malfunction/whoopsie
(Hint the Ladies 
)
I caught it. 😎
Nice items. Does your goonies box have a black line on it?
I have three of them. 2 have the "closeout? black marker line" and one does not
Loving those unopened packs!
Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports
OH YEEEAAHHH NEXT LEVEL EXPERIENTAL COLLECTING. Run and have Fun with it.
I don't know why those cats aren't tearing the Gravy Bursts open...
@HOMETOWNSPORTS
Who's Acrylic cases are you using? Hoping for a link
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)
Looks like HOMETOWNSPORTS needs to start his own 'rip thread'!
My cards on COMC
So are you going to grade any of those baseball packs?

Those are nice - I have seen ads for them before. If I was keeping versus ripping those would be on the menu.
That Stars Wars watch is cool!! I'd love to wear that while ripping Star Wars Packs!!! Speaking of which - I need to buy some more Star Wars Packs...
Yeah the watch was an interesting collectible/item I saw on ebay. It's not very futuristic being that I think the Quartz method of keeping time digitally (verses mechanically) was discovered around 1972 or so?... It is very basic and nothing compared to an apple watch that they sell today ( i used to love the original waterproof CASIO watches.)
The 1977 star wars wax boxes series 1-5 (colored cards) are about the Hottest vintage wax could EVER get in a short period of time. The Series 1 has skyrocketed to something around $40K a boxes from about 12K just 4-5 months ago. ( I luckily purchased 2 of them before the EXPONETIAL rise) A recent PSA 10 LUKE #1 card sold for $600K which I think is higher than a jordan rookie... the other 2-5 series haven't seen the quick huge appreciation but it's coming as I purchased series 3 and 4 a few days ago for around $3200 a box. My thinking is the first 9 cards in the series one in PSA 10 should all bring $75K-$500K. In PSA 9 they range from $5K-$25K each and you get close to 4 per box of each card. Do a little research and you will see what I am talking about. Seems this box will be worth more than a 1986 Fleer basketball box. STAR WARS is a classic franchise that is still loved to this day and produced. Don't think you can go wrong with any of these 1977 wax boxes even series 1 that has seen a large appreciation in a short time. It has legs to go further.
Maybe when I get around to it...I like to open a few packs here and there new holders seem to be very very hard to get the packs back out once they are sealed
HTS - do "I spy" a 79T wax box?
@HOMETOWNSPORTS - I still own this low pop PSA 10 Vader. Glad I held on. Its only going up.
YOOOOOOO HOLY EVIL ONE
: THAT IS A HUUUGGEEEE card. One is currently listed on ebay for $250K (quarter million) and only 12 copies exist. only 9 copies of Luke #1 PSA 10 which sold for $600K... That might even beat your Brown 1958 cello pull. Did you ever think it would jump like that?? (the last ebay sale was $7K in 2024 but now look) .. Heck PSA 10 of just any 1977 star wars card are getting $3K-$5K... so the boxes seem 
way cheap at the moment. How do you feel? ARe your kinda feeling like a lottery winner 
?... Great day this must be for you.. CONGRATS !!!
@Stone193 HAHA yes. If you look at all the stacked acrylic case photos you will see 2 boxes...
HOMETOWN aint playing around !! The man has the goods!
HOMIE what an awesome assortment! +1 for Skateboard Stickers!
@UFFDAH if you sell that card you maybe able to purchase the 1959 Baseball cello box currently on Baseball card exchange website for $200,000 and still have plenty left over .. Yowza
Some more stuff... Like the Pink Floyd song "Have a Cigar" the rest is just greed... Some of us definitely should have a cigar...They gonna love us
That 1985 Wrestling box is OPC very tough ... Those are the Becketts of which I have been accumulating for a few years when I realized the grading of them would be a thing like comic books. I don't sometimes like to toot my own horn but go back a few years and look at my posts about graded Becketts... When I was buying them only like 4-5 sellers of graded ones now like 40 to 50 sellers of them. I especially like the first #1-#6 baseball becketts (#1 was 1984) and can be conssidered a grail in the graded Beckett space. Those boxes are graded comics that I have yet to open...Aye Aye greed it seems
Moonraker huh? Any cards of Holly in that box you think?
Here are some and prolly a few more
That’s even more ominous.
What does your cello box stash look like? I know you must have some.
I have 1979 OPC AND TOPPS cello hockey boxes. 1984 Topps cello Hockey and 1985 topps football cello boxes
Well I've enjoyed this - good show!
I agree! I wish we could have a Message board party and rip it all.
Muahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
Ya know Brian - a couple of years we had a group come over to BBCE at the National and rip packs - one year it was 79T wax - unfortunately we got zero Oz! I miss that.
edit: should've said - one of the best supporters of those rips was Keith aka Kendallcat. 👍
