New wax box break coming next week! Woo-Hoo!

DaddyRich · October 12, 2005 4:05AM

Just finished paying for auctions on the Bay. Got a box of '77 Topps (sentimental fave) and one '85 Fleer and '85 Donruss as well as a few other little goodies. Oh, these are baseball of course. Pics will be posted as soon as something worthwhile pops up, I love reading about everyones box breaks and know that there is an appreciative audience here. At home I'd get a disinterested shrug and a "whatever makes you happy dear" from the wife and "where are the Yu-Gi-Oh! cards?" from my oldest son. My scanner is on the fritz and I will use my camera and upload as fast as I can. Wish me luck. Oh, and a 1980 Topss cello box is coming too. Christmas in October.

sweet! its always nice to hear about these box breaks! good luck!

I'm a fan of the '77 set and am interested in what you pull. Always had the problem of not having that big rookie (although D.Murphy & T.Armas cards were popular way back when) card to carry the set.

Those '85s...love 'em! Good luck in getting multiple Clemens rookies! Oh, and a few Pucketts in there as well.

GL and I hope your boxes are unsearched and still intact.

Thanks Julen and I hope they are unsearched and intact as well. I checked his feedback before bidding and he has many very happy customers with 500+ feedback themselves - an indication of some customer satisfaction in my eyes. I won't hesistate to take some action if I smell a rat tho.

Sadly, just the name is Rich.

Never had a pic to show before so I will give this a whirl. Here is the first decent card from the boxes I busted this weekend. Rickey thinks this Rickey rookie will get Rickey at least a solid 8. Rickey could be wrong, but Rickey don't think so.

Damn, that looks crappy, now I gotta do some resizing somehow. Arrgh, any ideas? My scanner is gone the way of the dodo but I have a real nice camera for the pics, did I just use too small of a resoultion or something like that? Thanks,
Rich

Gee thanks, but holy crap I don't want to have them show up so big on the screen. I found an image host and have bunch on there - do I paste the URL, Tag or IMG? That's all I want to know, just to get the pics on here at a decent size. Thanks again mudflap, much appreciated.

DaddyRich · October 16, 2005 7:46AM

Guess I couldn't put 2 pics in the same message, I tried posting my Joe Morgan next to Stargell to no avail.

DaddyRich · October 16, 2005 7:49AM

Here's the heartbreaker of the entire bunch, nice corners but that bottom is awful. Still it's nice to have one again after so many years.

This is my favorite card of my favorite player from this set.

DaddyRich · October 16, 2005 7:52AM

geez, I am about ready to give up on this stuff. I will try more later. Anyone needing commons form 85 Donruss and 85 Fleer and 77 Topps let me know.

softparade · October 16, 2005 9:38AM

hey man, NICE CARDS! Keep up the good work!

williplett · October 16, 2005 3:31PM

I am curious as to what a Topps 77 box goes for on the Bay? I know BBCE sells them for $775. I love that set. Let me know if you get any nice all-stars from that set, the Kingman's, Jones's, and Harrah's are pretty rare to find in nice condition.

<< <i>Rickey thinks this Rickey rookie will get Rickey at least a solid 8. Rickey could be wrong, but Rickey don't think so. >>

Just for the record that Rickey Henderson is not his rookie

Rich/Daddy,

Did you come across any 77 Munson's. I'd be very interested, if you want to sell them.

PM me -thanks,

Steve

New wax box break coming next week! Woo-Hoo!
