Yes, this thread is useless without pictures I know, but...
Had a guy come into the shop to pawn off some cards and some unopened material.

The cards were not great, but there was an unopened '79 Topps Baseball and a GAI 8.5 '80 Topps Baseball in the mix. He wanted $40 and I offered $30. He took it.

It looks like the going rate for unopened '79 is $8-$10 raw. Did I do alright spending $20 on the '80?

Any time you spend 20 to get 80, it's always good

It's hard to tell from the pic, but the upper right corner looks ragged. I think you were ripped.

I just got a raw set of 80 last night for $42 and probably overpaid. Henderson is about 70/30 L/R but corners and edges look good from the scan.

funny thing is that right now i am eating ritx crackers...ha ha

vtbub · December 26, 2008 2:37PM

Thanks for the crackers.

Judging on eBay sales, it looks like I broke about even.

Nothing worse than picking someone up, then finding out that it'll cost you $30 for the night. At least it would seem you're paying for experience...

Nah, I've been married ten years. That's way more than $30 now.
