I am probably the worst pack puller around. I seem to never get good cards. Well today payed off. I bought 3 packs of 1984 topps football off of ebay. I only opened two of the packs and look what I got. I almost fell down. The first pack I opened I pulled the Elway and I almost didn't open the other. I was going to keep two packs unopened. I decied to open one more and pulled the Marino. Sorry about the grammer I am in a hurry.

The same thing happened to when I got a few packs from bbce. I don't remember exactly how many packs I bought but I know it wasn't more than 5. I pulled the Marino and the Elway as well.
The centering was bad on the Marino which graded a 7. The centering was right on with the Elway which graded an 8 due to "snow" on the surface

<< <i>nice pull.. rough centering.. but the excitement of the pull offsets it >>
Out of the two packs i opened there isn't one card with 50/50 centering and maybe only a few with 60/40. I have to admitt for a packs of cards that are almost 25 yrs old. The edges and corners are near perfect on every card.
I havent really seen alot of these graded, but I have seen several 86 Fleers with comparable centering get 9s with NQ. Would these get an OC qualifier? anyone?
Congrats on finding the 2 best cards in the 84' set.

I would say they look like straight 8's.
Another ebay seller of vintage paks with an equally impeccable reputation is (kimtimmy). I have dealt with both of these sellers over the past 5 years and they are above reproach. In fact on a few occassions both of these sellers sent me expensive vintage paks prior to having received my payment--I think that in itself speaks volumes!!!
You did awesome! Congrats!
