Todays rips, the last of my packs (Now ripping 82 Fleer BB) Lots of scans!

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 1:26AM

Well these are the last of my rack packs I bought last year when I had to sell my Harley.

The first rips are 2 1982 rack packs. I'm only posting the stars cards, although the commons are sharp and centered. Also going to rip some of my last early 80's Fleer.....81 and 82.

My question: I got to Yaz cards and I thought they had a blem but I think it must have been a problem with the printing plate. Notice how both cards have the same round blem in the top right and the same marks in the "IN" letters of In Action. Does this sound correct?

lsutigers1973 · January 20, 2009 1:28AM

My guess would be the blemishes were exclusive to that particular run and is not present throughout the entire print run.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 1:29AM

<< My guess would be the blemishes were exclusive to that particular run and is not present throughout the entire print run. >>

Bill, I just added larger scans above of the two cards. I wasn't planning on subbing those two cards, but how would the PSA grade them if I did?
I shoud add, Does the PSA deduct for a printrun problem like those?

Thanks

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 1:38AM

I know I liked Yaz as a kid, but I got more than my quota of Yaz's for the day. lol

lsutigers1973 · January 20, 2009 1:51AM

I would love to bust a box of clean centered 1982 Topps. I don't recall ever opening any that were centered that well.

Ironmanfan · January 20, 2009 1:59AM

you can tell that the Fergie Jenkins picture was taken at the old Comiskey Park

You are right Bill. I ripped a fair amount of 78, 79, 80, 82, 83, 84 last year and these seem to be the better centered cards I got.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 2:29AM

I'll post some more 82's later today. Now I'm going to go for some 83's. Can I please get a Cal or Gwynn????

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 2:39AM

I've opened part of the rack pack...Cut one section at a time. I did get a really nice Ryan for my collection and the cards are looking nice centered. It must be my day for decent centering.

lsutigers1973 · January 20, 2009 2:43AM

I busted a cello box and 3 wax boxes in November. The best Ryan I pulled was centered 75/25 T/B. Did get a Gwynn that is STILL sitting at PSA right now.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 2:47AM

I'd love your opinion on this one Bill. I'm not as good as you and Matt & some of the others at grading my own cards. Scan of Ryan coming.

Brian

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 2:49AM

Front side of Ryan

Stingray · January 20, 2009 2:50AM

Nice stuff, though I think I like 82s better than 83s. There is a huge upgrade in the photography/images from 82 to 83, but I think the main image is too small on the 83s due to the extra picture and player/team name, position and team name. JMO.

MeteoriteGuy · January 20, 2009 2:52AM

PSA 9 on Ryan.

Awesome centering on the 82s and 83s. Now I want to rip some.

lsutigers1973 · January 20, 2009 2:54AM

The Ryan would probably be a 9 if the corners are sharp. L/R centering may be ugly but not bad enough to make it an 8 since the T/B appears to be 50/50.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 3:00AM

Starting to realize no big Rookie cards are in my pack

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 3:10AM

Got me a card with Cal Ripken's name on it but it was only a checklist.........ARggggggggghhhhhhhh

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 3:35AM

jimrad · January 20, 2009 3:35AM

You guys inspired me to bust open one of my 1982 rack packs. here was my best card

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 3:54AM

<< You guys inspired me to bust open one of my 1982 rack packs. here was my best card >>

I'm glad to insiration to someone. I actually had planned on saving all of these rack packs for my son so we could rip together....Now that I'm out of work and have no money I've managed to slowly go through all of my unopened stuff.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 3:57AM

Well these cards are getting my upset. Talk about lack of star power.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 4:04AM

I suck I didn't take the time to show any of the upopened packs or ruined wrappers.
Here is one from the 83's

jimrad · January 20, 2009 4:12AM

I have more 1982 unopened racks calling my name.........maybe if Bill told me a sequence to look for I might...................

lsutigers1973 · January 20, 2009 4:24AM

How much for all the 82 racks showing there?

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 4:27AM

<< How much for all the 82 racks showing there? /Q] Hey Bill, are you hijacking my thread???? Just kidding.

jimrad · January 20, 2009 4:44AM

<< How much for all the 82 racks showing there? >>

Bill, we already did this dance. You didn't respond, so for now I am not selling them. I am happy opening one every so often and occasionally giving one away.
I sent one to Matt along with some unopened 1982 fleer wax, but he never responded if he opened them or not.
I think I will open one

lsutigers1973 · January 20, 2009 4:44AM

I'm going to search my PM's. I distinctly recall those packs being for sale at one time.

jimrad · January 20, 2009 4:46AM

they were but you did not respond to my scans.......

Crap I found it. Any chance of a "recession" sale?

Have I ever mentioned to you how much I love the wonderful game of hockey?

BobS · January 20, 2009 5:08AM

Bill -

PM me your address. I probably have it, but don't feel like searching.

I'll get an 82' out to you this week. I think I have a few grocery racks and cello's.

Call it a recession give-away.

Bob

CDsNuts · January 20, 2009 5:09AM

100.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 5:42AM

<< 100 >>

Thanks for your thoughts. lol

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 6:17AM

Well these are the last cards worth showing of the 83's. Some of the cards not shown have printing blems I would say.

These cards look good.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 6:45AM

81 Fleer packs

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 6:50AM

Last post for a few hours...gotta take care of a few things.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 10:14AM

That finished up the first pack. These cards won't get high grades, but they were greats from my childhood which makes these keepers.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 10:24AM

Now into pack #2. In the first scan of cards I got a Jim Anderson card, but it's cool for me. My brother grew up and played high school ball with his younger brother Doug and Jim went to a few of my little league practices when he was on the Angels. So that's cool. I can show my son one day.

SidePocket · January 20, 2009 10:42AM

Bman, sorry you got no big stars, but you know what's even worse? 1982 Phillies batting leader was Bo Diaz.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 10:43AM

Here is the last of the second pack. HOF Murray way O/C but a very nice Pete La_ock card.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 10:45AM

<< Bman, sorry you got no big stars, but you know what's even worse? 1982 Phillies batting leader was Bo Diaz. >>

Thanks, but the Mark Fidrych card is cool...I did a book report on him back in grade school. ...that was back when the Bird was a great rookie. And like I said, my brother went to school with Jim Anderson's brother Doug and Jim went to a few of my baseball practices when I was a kid. So that will be some stories for my son. Also, my father and I met Lee Lacy when I was a kid when he was on the Dodgers....good stuff I guess.

BPorter26 · January 20, 2009 12:01PM

Bman thanks for sharing. Those rips bring back memories as a kid for me. I remember picking up a box of 83 Topps for $10. Thanks again.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 1:34PM

<< Bman thanks for sharing. Those rips bring back memories as a kid for me. I remember picking up a box of 83 Topps for $10. Thanks again. >>

Very glad to share them. They bring back great memories for me too as that was towards the end of when I was collecting as a kid before I quit for many many years.

I believe I have a couple more 81 and 82 Fleer packs left.

Brian

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 11:41PM

It looks like I'm not doing well on this pack either.. Got a Goose, but it's way OC. The Krukow and Belanger look good. I don't think I've noticed it on my other fleer cards, but these have a rough cut, very similar to some of my OPC's.

bman90278 · January 20, 2009 11:53PM

Nothing great, but I have no problem adding another Mota card to my collection as he was a Dodgers great. The Ramsey and Alexander card look very good too.

That's funny. I wonder if he was a bill collector for loan sharks during those years? lol

Todays rips, the last of my packs (Now ripping 82 Fleer BB) Lots of scans!
