Ok my scanner is not working for some reason. In 84 I got a Fleer Mattingly and Ryan. The Mattingly has 9 corners but maybe 8.5 centering. The Ryan is a sure 9. Maybe a 10

I bet I get mine tomorrow. Last two orders from Steve (eBay) came in two days.

Got my packs from Steve Hart today as well. Nothing earth shattering, but definitely a fun rip. A few cards from my 1983 Topps pack were damaged during packaging back in '83, including a fairly well-centered Mike Schmidt. Too bad the right edge was mangled! Here are the other highlights:
1977 OPC: Fred Lynn, Jim Rice, George Foster, Dave Winfield 1978 Topps: Bobby Murcer, Clint Hurdle RC 1979 Topps: Don Sutton, Willie McCovey, Carlton Fisk AS 1981 Donruss: Pete Rose, Jim Palmer, Tom Seaver 1981 Topps: Rollie Fingers 1982 Donruss: Joe Morgan, Jim Gantner 1982 Fleer: Jim Rice 1982 Topps: Steve Carlton, Don Sutton, Rod Carew AS, Fred Lynn IA, Von Hayes RC 1983 Donruss: Julio Franco RC, Gary Carter, Nolan Ryan, Willie Stargell DK 1983 Fleer: George Brett, Howard Johnson RC 1983 Topps: Home Run Leaders (Reggie Jackson/Gorman Thomas/Dave Kingman), Alan Trammell 1984 Topps: Ozzie Smith AS, Home Run Leaders (Mike Schmidt/Jim Rice) 1985 Fleer: Cal Ripken Jr, Ryne Sandbert, Bill Hatcher/Shawon Dunston RC 1985 Topps: Mike Schmidt, Pete Rose
Scans of the better stuff to follow. Thanks again for running this, Bill!
1978 Topps Bobby Murcer - other than centering, a nice looking card 1979 Topps Don Sutton - too bad there's a print mark by his mouth, nice otherwise 1979 Topps Willie McCovey - so close on the centering 1979 Topps Carlton Fisk AS - again, close on the centering
1981 Donruss Pete Rose - the only centered card in the pack, too bad they cut the top and left edges so poorly 1982 Donruss Joe Morgan - nice centering, I might submit this one someday 1983 Donruss Julio Franco RC - it's his rookie, but not worth submitting 1983 Donruss Nolan Ryan - t/b centering issues but may send in someday
1983 Donruss Willie Stargell DK - I'm definitely sending this one in, has a shot at a 10, imo 1983 Fleer George Brett - slight rough cut on left edge, but might submit someday 1984 Topps Ozzie Smith AS - nice centering but tiny chipping on l/r edges, again - might submit someday 1985 Topps Pete Rose - nice centering, but touched bottom left corner and fisheye on his armpit
1982 Donruss Jim Gantner - I already have a 10, but this will go into my raw collection

Not too bad Craig. If by chance you send in the Stargell and get a 10, I am slowly putting together a complete set in PSA 10 only. The Ryan is not worth submitting because apperantly PSA is pretty tough on the 83 Donruss. Somehow Donruss managed to produce some decent quality cards that year.
I ripped all my pack besides the 77opc. I havn't decided if I am going to rip it or put it with my pack collection. All of the packs were in good condition. I didn't get anything special besides the Fleer Ripken rc but I had alot of fun opening all the packs. Are any of these cards worth getting graded? I also purchased a box of 90 UD and 90 Score Hockey. I have included the pics of those cards as well
If by chance that is just a bad scan and not whitening on the borders, the 85 Donruss Sandberg DK is a low pop card with only 8 PSA 9's and 2 10's. For some reason all the DK cards are low pops. Quite a few have no 10's and very few 9's.

Ya the ryan dk looks pretty good with little to no white around the border. I think it has a good shot at a 9 or 10

I would've said 8 or 9 with the top/bottom centering such as it is. Also, is that chipping on the bottom edge, just below the A in Sandberg? If so, it won't get better than an 8, possibly even a 7 considering the centering.
I carefully went through the cards today and here are the cards that I think have shots at a 9 or 10. I only pulled out cards of guys I have heard of. I really like the Andre Dawson I think I have a shot at a 10. Are any of these cards worth getting graded?
Willie Wilson is the underrated player of the 80s.

Got mine today, I'll rip after I finish the crown moulding project my wife told me needs to be done before her and the squids return from Florida tonght.
Got my box today...opened the first pack of 77 OPC, saving the 2nd for later.
First card (The one with the Wax Stain)...George Brett #170, centered 50/50 top/bottom and 70/30 L/R. Probably the best cut card in the pack, four sharp corners and only a little of the edge fuzz, although the wax stain sux, will be visiting my wifes nylons compartment later. Rest of the cards were commons that looked like they had been cut from the sheet with a butter knife
Didnt pull anything great but my best two cards are of my least favorite player. What can i say the 1984 cubs scared me for life! I dont remember 1982 topps having stickers but I think most of mine came from rack packs at KB Toys.
Got my cards today, will show scans after football. I pulled a 1985 Topps Clemens, 83 Fleer McGee and a 82 Topps Nolan Ryan. Centering very nice overall. My 80 pack seemed kind of tight, I don't think a 10 could have came out of it. The 77 OPC are very nice.

This was a fun rip and stroll back along memory lane. Overall I think I made out alright scoring a 78 Ryan that is probably PSA 8 worthy....... Here are the highlights.....
Man those 77's look sharp. Hope mine look the same. Actually I hope I can resist opening all my packs instead of saving one lot for my unopened wax display.

Good luck with their packs everyone !

Mangled 1983 Topps:
1978 Topps Bobby Murcer - other than centering, a nice looking card
1979 Topps Don Sutton - too bad there's a print mark by his mouth, nice otherwise
1979 Topps Willie McCovey - so close on the centering
1979 Topps Carlton Fisk AS - again, close on the centering
1981 Donruss Pete Rose - the only centered card in the pack, too bad they cut the top and left edges so poorly
1982 Donruss Joe Morgan - nice centering, I might submit this one someday
1983 Donruss Julio Franco RC - it's his rookie, but not worth submitting
1983 Donruss Nolan Ryan - t/b centering issues but may send in someday
1983 Donruss Willie Stargell DK - I'm definitely sending this one in, has a shot at a 10, imo
1983 Fleer George Brett - slight rough cut on left edge, but might submit someday

I opened about 10 boxes looking for a sweet Ryan. Check the surface. That is one of the major problems of the 86 OPC's.

<< <i>Justin, from the scan that 77 Rice looks AWFUL sharp! So does Pepe. >>
I think the Rice has a legit shot at a 10 as does the Pepe. Unfortunately the rest of the pack was all over the place on centering.
