No Dawson in 77 opc. Set has only 264 cards. No key rookies but lots of stars with low pop 9's and 10's.
Waiting on my box still. Hope to have it tomorrow (fingers crossed)
Also ordered 2 boxes 1986 opc

hotmush · September 2, 2008 8:23AM

It's one of the hobby's puzzling mysteries. A set that takes pride in featuring Expos and Blue Jays... and a set that created individual cards for Blue Jays in that year's quad-rookie cards, failed to feature Andre Dawson. Just bizarre.
Also, wasn't 1983's Strawberry only in the Traded sets? My bad if not.

fur72 · September 2, 2008 1:39PM

After we get these I am going to have one heck of a sub. I already have numerous cards from the 78 rip 89 fleer basketball.

Leiascards · September 2, 2008 1:43PM

Same here, I plan on taking full advantage of the 6.00 special.

mtcards · September 2, 2008 2:21PM

Yes, the Strawberry is only in the 83 traded sets, but his 1984 is considered his RC

lsutigers1973 · September 3, 2008 4:16AM

<< <i>If one of the people that hasn't paid yet wants to back out, I'll their packs. >>

I sent Steve an email asking him to let me know if the last remaining lot and extra 77 OPC pack are not paid for by 5PM CST today. If they go unpaid you are more than welcome to pick them up.

jfkheat · September 3, 2008 5:26AM

Sounds good.
Thanks, James

jswieton · September 3, 2008 5:39AM

I recieved the group break today. I will start ripping a little later and post what i get. i ordered a few boxes of hockey that I will rip first. Did anyone else get theirs yet?

lsutigers1973 · September 3, 2008 5:42AM

How in the heck did you get yours already? Do you live next door to BBCE?

jswieton · September 3, 2008 5:46AM

20 minutes away, All the packs look to be in really good condition.

lsutigers1973 · September 3, 2008 6:00AM

Quit typing. Start ripping. Then commence with scanning and posting!

lsutigers1973 · September 3, 2008 6:01AM

BTW, as part of my fee, I require that all members PM me for my address to send me any Dale Murphy cards.

jeffcbay · September 3, 2008 6:23AM

When I paid over the phone yesterday he mentioned it might ship out that day (Tuesday). So that would be cool!! I can't wait!! I'll prolly get mine on Friday (Northeast Ohio).

lsutigers1973 · September 3, 2008 6:39AM

I usually get mine on the 4th day after paying. So I am expecting mine Friday since they shipped yesterday morning.

jswieton · September 3, 2008 6:47AM

These packs bring back very old memories from when I was a little kid. I am torn between ripping them and keeping them for my pack collection. I know it is highly unlikely that I will pull the cards I am looking for. It is killing me not opening them. I will start tearing after diner. I know I am going to have major rippers remorse after I open them all.

jeffcbay · September 3, 2008 6:52AM

Thank you for that pic, it makes me feel like I'm closer to ripping!!

billwaltonsbeard · September 3, 2008 6:55AM

thats a nice looking lineup. Not bad for under $100. good luck everyone.

lsutigers1973 · September 3, 2008 6:57AM

Did I not explain the rules? If you receive yours before me, you are required to rip them and post a pic of the contents of each pack. Let the ripping commence.

StopYurWhining · September 3, 2008 7:06AM

good luck with this rip folks! Hope that you all pull well centered beauties!

jfkheat · September 3, 2008 7:19AM

Payment for the last lot and extra 77 OPC pack has been sent.
James

lsutigers1973 · September 3, 2008 7:21AM

Thanks to James for picking up the unpaid lot.

jswieton · September 3, 2008 7:39AM

What are the key cards to look for in the 77 OPC

lsutigers1973 · September 3, 2008 7:40AM

Anything centered

Stump · September 3, 2008 7:54AM

Just got home and my box was here from Steve. I live in Michigan so its a 1 day ship. I am going to start ripping and putting up pics soon.

Stump · September 3, 2008 7:55AM

Ok 85 Donruss is opened and all are commons

Stump · September 3, 2008 7:56AM

85 Fleer was not much better. Bruce Sutter was the best card in that pack

Stump · September 3, 2008 7:58AM

85 topps best was Paul Molitor
