<< <i>Thanks for organizing this rip David. I got some decnet cards, but a lot of junk too. I guess the thing that keeps up going is the chance that we will pull a card like the Henderson in great condition. It happened to one of us and I am happy for Jeff. Anyone want to organize a 77 rip? Or, for people that want to rip some real cheap wax, 1981. >>

I am up for a cheap wax bust. I have not participated in a group break yet. I am trying to save $ for the National and the 07 Heritage kicked a dent in my hobby budget.

Thank
Mike

Thanks Brotha.

I thought someone had posted the lower pop and/or tougher commons for the set....any idea which ones I should look for to submit? Yes, I'm too lazy to look up the pop on these!

mnolan · March 20, 2007 9:53AM

looking for a psa 10 gary cater or raw with a shot

ldferg · March 20, 2007 10:27AM

i noticed the majority of my packs were "team" packs whereas there would be anywhere from 3-5 of the same team in the pack.

ArnyVee · March 21, 2007 9:24AM

Boy, it seems that we didn't have many scans on this rip. Anyone else going to post some scans from their rip anytime soon?

softparade · March 21, 2007 1:22PM

Arny,

I have two boxes from this rip but won't dare open them until I am settled with Heritage. I know Barkus has 3 boxes and has not been heard from. So, that is a decent chunk of the case still unopened or not reported on

I have a box socked away for now. I may bust it open but right now I'm remodeling the old kitchen and my "card area" is inaccessible.

julen23 · April 11, 2007 12:12AM

Nascar360 · April 11, 2007 3:45AM

Is anyone interested in selling their 1980 commons? I would like to try and build a raw set. Please let me know via PM or e-mail at pinball@infoave.net.

hotmush · April 11, 2007 3:52AM

ArnyVee, may I ask what type of scanner you are using? I'm in the market.
Thanks.

ldferg · April 25, 2007 4:48AM

good luck. i remember they were both sweet. you'll have to cut me in on some of the profit.

jeffcbay · May 4, 2007 1:50AM

Scans please! Great going on that Ripken, one of my FAVORITE cards. Who says I am a modern basher? Umm.... wait.... that card is an anitque

RipublicaninMass · May 4, 2007 2:12AM

I'd be interested in any junky Red Sox cards

julen23 · May 4, 2007 2:30AM

i thought i posted this earlier, but don't see it???

nice job on psa 9, it's guaranteed $140 +/-, psa had psa 9's up to $225 earlier this year, but don't know where they are now.

don't know statistical probability of having pulled a psa 9, but it is close to slim & none based on overall results and ignoring raw # of cards and people that opened them.

jeffcbay · May 4, 2007 3:17AM

Yeah, I couldn't be happier with that Ripken. I bought that card when I was 11 years old back in 1987 at a local card show, for $9.00. It's been the pride of my Ripken card collection, I just can't believe it got a 9! If it would have come back anything less than a 9 I would have sold it and bought a 9 on ebay, but I'm ecstatic that I can add this one to my Set Registry!

jeffcbay · May 9, 2007 3:57AM

I posted those two Hendersons on EBAY for those who may be interested. Thanks!

ldferg · May 13, 2007 2:24PM

jeff,
how did your henderson's do?

SPAM ALERT!!! - i listed a batch of 9s (and 5 - 10s) from the bust on ebay tonite.

williplett · May 13, 2007 3:37PM

I remember thinking that one Henderson you pulled had a real shot at a 10. I would have guessed one would have been a strong 9 and the other a weak 9. You should have no problem getting at least $150 for it on Ebay.

jeffcbay · May 14, 2007 1:06AM

$157.53 and $45.87. I was hoping for more on the 9, but that's what I get for having an auction end on a Saturday afternoon.

I don't understand PSA... the PSA 9 actually had spots on the gloss on the front of the card, and the 8 was what I would have considered the PSA 10. Who freaking knows with them anymore... I bet if it was any other card from the set, they both would have been 10s.

ldferg · May 14, 2007 2:05AM

jeff,
i've had a difficult time distinguishing 9s from 10s on some of my latest submissions. i can actually see flaws on some of the 10s whereas some 9s look flawless. maybe they were dinged going into the slabbing process. who knows.

nam812 · May 14, 2007 2:41AM

PSA says that they do not grade stars or low pops any more harsh than any other card, but that's total BS in my opinion.

jeffcbay · May 14, 2007 2:44AM

I always try to give PSA the benefit of the doubt, but I call BS on that one too... there's no way they treat a 1980 Topps Henderson like they do a 1980 Topps Dick Drago...
