Playing catchup today, as I was out of town last weekend. 82's and 81's...

Also:
Marcel Dionne (OC L/R)
Steve Payne (OC L/R)
Kent Nilsson (slightly OC T/B)
Steve Weeks (OC L/R)
Robert Picard (OC L/R)

Also:
Red Wings leaders (dinged corner - my bad :smack

Jets leaders (touched corner)
Bob Sauve (OC L/R)
Andre Savard (OC L/R)
Al Sims (OC L/R)
Randy Carlyle (OC L/R)
Rick Kehoe Super Action (OC L/R)
Bryan Trottier (OC L/R)

Whoever mentioned that their East cards were all OC, my pack was exactly the same. I was actually hoping for a West pack, as I need more cards from that series than the East, so this one was a little disappointing. The only potential 9 that I actually need for my set is the Reinhart.

If anyone has some decent-looking (potential 9's or 10's) 81's, PLEASE PM ME!

ArnyVee · December 17, 2006 11:18PM

My '81 Pack had a Gartner & a Potvin...nothing much else aside from two decently centered cards.

Hope I pull a nice one for that '80 pack!

aro13 · December 18, 2006 12:33AM

My cards were in pretty good condition - very few were OC

Kings TL
Dave Christian
North Stars TL
Kent Nilsson
Bryan Trottier
Mike Rogers
Willi Plett
Mark Howe
Barry Beck SA
Rick Middleton SA
Mike Bossy SA

If I pulled this pack in 1981 I would have been pretty happy.

Good luck and Merry Christmas to all ! Bob C.

Onlypsahockey · December 24, 2006 1:04PM

Okay I know this is a sucky way to wrap up this great 10 year rip but......my 1980 Topps packs didn't have the team posters inside.

I built a nice raw set years ago and I bought quite a few packs. All had the team poster. Heck it even says it on the wrapper.

Anyone want to chime in on this before I contact Steve Hart?

Bob C.

ArnyVee · December 24, 2006 1:15PM

No team poster in mine either.

kadokakid · December 24, 2006 1:16PM

No poster for me either, I'll post my results from last few years in the next couple days, sorry been busy.

Thanks again Bob, I really enjoyed this rip!!!!

Peace

Doug

phreakydancin · December 24, 2006 10:55PM

No poster in mine.

Onlypsahockey · December 25, 2006 1:36AM

Well this kinda sux on Christmas and all. Two of my three packs opened way too easy. Anyone else notice a lack of a seal? Someone post a Bourque or a Gretzky so I don't feel like we got a searched box please.

Merry Christmas, Bob C.

ArnyVee · December 25, 2006 1:47AM

I got the Craig OLY rookie, but nothing else.

phreakydancin · December 25, 2006 3:38AM

I got Gretz on one of the leaders cards... pretty nice condition too. Will post scan when I have time.

rbdjr1 · December 25, 2006 6:30AM

No Team Pin-up in my pack, nothing special here, in fact the surfaces seemed to have a few too many bumps.

But all-in all, I had fun with this 80's rip, and I want to say thanks to Onlypsahockey, for this fun!

Merry Xmas!

Bob - Thank you very much for organizing the wax pack rip.

I got a team poster in my pack but it was the Montreal Canadians so I would rather not have had one.

My pack was decent.
Dave Christian
Keith Brown
Rick Ley
Jim Craig
Guy Lafleur - but somewhat scratched (does not look like funny business)
Tim Young
Ric Seiling
Reed Larsen
and a North Star I cannot identify

kadokakid · December 29, 2006 1:17AM

Bob:

Props to you for putting this rip together, I had a blast.

Thanks again for your efforts in getting this put together.

Peace
