I've got an '83 Topps box on its way to my house

cwazzy · January 12, 2009 10:13PM

Ordered from BBCE last night, I would think it would be here on Friday. This will be my first live rip.

Besides the Boggs, Sandburg, and Gwynn, what other cards are worth submitting if they are 9s or 10s?

Looking forward to it! Good luck.

2nd year Ripken (card #163)

Although a very beautiful set, 10's are pretty much the only thing that cab bring in the money . The Rose and Ryan cards can get pricey. I have the set on the registry called " My son Mark's set " curently # 2. If you get these graded and want to sell, If I need them , I will bye them----Sonny

Chris, I wish you many PSA 10's. Cant wait for the rip!

cwazzy · January 12, 2009 11:02PM

Thanks guys. I can't wait to open it. It'll be my first vintage (if you can call '83 vintage

) rip. I've never opened anything before 1987 (and that was back in 1987 :Funny

so this should be fun. I don't look to get my money back on the rip but it would be nice to hit a few nice PSA 10s.

Chris

edited to say: I will let you know what 10s I get, Sonny.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Other than the big 3 plus Ryan and Ripken, unless they are 10's not really worth submitting unless for a personal collection. PSA registry hasn't quite caught on yet for this set.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Good luck man - I like the '83 set. Regardless of how "well" you do it will be fun.

HeritageAddict · January 13, 2009 12:20AM

Congrats Chris, you'll have a lot of fun ripping it. Did you go with the wax or michigan?

I believe he went with the wax because of some quick advice on the Michigans (they suck).

cwazzy · January 13, 2009 12:58AM

I did go with the wax. I probably would have done cello had Steve had a full box available.

If that's the case, great call. I've had much better luck with the wax packs.

lsutigers1973 · January 13, 2009 1:01AM

I busted a cello box from BBBCE in November. Packs were clean and cards were crisp but only pulled one Boggs and one Gwynn. I think that is the Gwynn I sent to PSA in the group sub.

WinPitcher · January 13, 2009 1:01AM

Chris nice pickup and good luck.

I would think the Ryan might be a good card to have graded in addition to those mentioned already.

That is if you feel it would 10.

Steve

lsutigers1973 · January 13, 2009 1:16AM

Ripken, Ryan, McGee any any HOF'er from this set is worth the shot if you are positive it is going to at least grade a 9. I actually got about $12 on eBay for a Bruce Sutter AS PSA 9 a few months ago. Not very sexy, but covered the cost of submission and a few extra bucks.

cwazzy · January 13, 2009 1:44AM

I just got the e-mail from Steve saying that the box has shipped. These next couple of days are going to suck! I hate waiting!

Chris

prscott933 · January 13, 2009 1:56AM

Chris,

Let's trade commons once you rip and sort. I am going to finish the 83 set next.

Tell me about it. I've been waiting almost two months for a transaction to be completed on here.

Good luck on the rip and most of all have fun.

That sucks, Jeff. You obviously have more patience then I do. Two months is a long time to wait for cards that you've already paid for. Hopefully this person will get off his lazy butt and send them to you soon. That's ridiculous.
