Got the grade back for the Jordan rookie

NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1986 FLEER 57 MICHAEL JORDAN
Date Received: 2/20/2009

Figured it was an 8 or 9 so within expectations. I will be opening the 98 Contenders fb box and 2004 Heritage this week.
Will be buying some more unopened come March 1st not sure yet what it will be.

The 70/71 poster was Oscar Robertson.

jswieton · February 25, 2009 9:31AM

I thought you had a good chance at a 9.

fergie23 · March 1, 2009 7:26AM

Time to open a couple boxes and packs. Going to start with a 1998 Playoff Contenders football box. The big hits are Peyton Manning auto rookie, Randy Moss auto rookie and Hines Ward auto rookie. I purchased the box for $184.50 off Ebay.

Allen · March 1, 2009 7:29AM

ALways wanted to open 98 Contenders, but I heard auto rookies run like 1-2 per case.

fergie23 · March 1, 2009 7:52AM

Well didn't hit a big rookie but it was a fun rip. The cards are definitely not in mint condition because the packs can move around too much in the box. I am not sure what the auto rate is but I did get a Curtis Enis auto (he was the 5th pick in the 98 draft). I'll probably buy another box sometime this year and see if the autos come one per box.

I think you did great to hit an auto. Here was my thread from a while back.

fergie23 · March 1, 2009 7:59AM

Next up is a 2004 Topps Heritage box. I purchased this box off ebay for $99.90.
Could someone PM me the SP list for 2004 Heritage?

The non SP commons for this rip are available to the first person that PMs me and asks for them.

EAsports · March 1, 2009 8:03AM

Me! Me! Pick Me!

parkerj · March 1, 2009 8:09AM

Check the weblink in my sig...there is an xls spreadsheet that has all the lists for all years.

fergie23 · March 1, 2009 8:17AM

Thanks for the list.
No ink but still fun to open. The Pedro is numbered 045/555, Reyes 1493/1955, A-Fraud 0840/1955 and Myers 1178/1955.

fergie23 · March 1, 2009 8:33AM

The 2004 Heritage commons have been claimed.

Lastly a 1979 Topps hockey pack. Sadly no Gretzky yet again. Pack was $54 from BBCE. I only have one pack left of 79 hockey, guess I will have to add some more to my next BBCE purchase. Sooner or later I am going to hit a Gretzky.

As for next rips I have a box of 89 Score football on the way. That is a fun box to open with tons of HOFers. Sadly most of the cards don't even go for grading fees in PSA 9. I am headed off to Hawaii in a couple days but I will rip one of the 2001 Topps Heritage boxes before I leave.

Rooting for a big snowstorm in Northern Virginia so I don't have to go into the office on Monday.

Ahmanfan · March 1, 2009 9:02AM

Fergie: cool moss leather rookie card. PM me with a price if it's not going into your collection.

MeteoriteGuy · March 1, 2009 9:07AM

Great Contender box. Nice Young card....which I happen to be missing.

Bosox1976 · March 1, 2009 10:34AM

Good stuff as always Fergie.

fergie23 · March 4, 2009 4:23AM

Just ordered some new stuff from BBCE to go with the 3 packs of 1986-87 Fleer basketball I purchased as part of the 86 Fleer bskt group box rip.

(3) 1990/91 Upper Deck Hockey Unopened Low Series Foil Box
(3) 1976/77 OPC Hockey Unopened Wax Pack
(1) 1986 Topps Football Unopened Wax Box
(5) 1978/79 OPC Hockey Unopened Wax Pack
(5) 1979/80 Topps Hockey Unopened Wax Pack
(5) 1977/78 Topps Basketball Unopened Wax Pack
(2) 1991 Stadium Club Football Unopened Wax Box

Going for PSA 9 worthy IGOR LARIONOV and VIACHESLAV FETISOV RCs in the 90/91 UD hockey; PSA 9 worthy BRYAN TROTTIER RCs in the 76 OPC; the typical stars from 1986 football; PSA 9 worthy MIKE BOSSY and BERNIE FEDERKO from the 78 OPC; Gretzky from the 79 hockey; PSA 9 of Dantley from the 77 basketball (already have a Parish PSA 9); and of course Brett Farve's from the 91 stadium club.

Should be delivered before I head off to Hawaii on Saturday so will probably open one pack of 86 Fleer before leaving.

Thanks for the great busts and sharing.

PLMK, if you are willing to trade off the Justin Leonard shirt card. I really like the colors.

Always a great thread

79 Hockey has sucked for me too, just don't give up

Nice additional purchases too!

I wana see the 86 Football Rip

jswieton · March 4, 2009 10:22AM

May I ask what is special about IGOR LARIONOV and VIACHESLAV FETISOV 90 UD? I have opened a ton of that stuff over the past couple of months and probably have a mint one sitting in a box right now. Are they low pop, what is special about those?

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 12:46AM

Received my order from BBCE. Had it overnighted since I leave for vacation tomorrow.
LARIONOV and FETISOV rookies are in 1990/91. I don't think there is any sort of premium for either of the cards but I need them in PSA 9 for my Hockey HOF RCs collection and the boxes are cheap so why not pull one and self-submit?

jeffcbay · March 6, 2009 12:48AM

HEY!! What do I see in the bottom left??

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 12:51AM

Ok gonna do a box of 2001 Topps Heritage along with random packs from my just received BBCE order. Purchased the box of Heritage from DACW for $293. Overpaid but sometimes that is the nature of the beast.

jeffcbay · March 6, 2009 12:55AM

Dibs on Ripken SP!!

GOOD LUCK!!

TNP777 · March 6, 2009 1:01AM

Looking forward to the '01 Heritage box. Only one card I'd really love to find - the Mays/Williams dual Time Capsule Korean War relic.

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 1:17AM

Sadly no ink in the 2001 heritage box. I did get 3 chromes: Maddux 380/552, Vaughn 369/552, Hudson 366/552.
I think I will open a box of 2008 Playoff Contenders football next.

jeffcbay · March 6, 2009 1:18AM

How'd you do on SPs?

1980scollector · March 6, 2009 1:22AM

this is awesome to follow- he is going to pull a Gretzky this go around

DoctorK · March 6, 2009 1:36AM

I look forward to checking this thread daily. Great stuff, Robb.

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 1:48AM

Nothing special in the 2008 Contenders box which I purchased from my local card shop for $124.99.
Next up some packs : 76 OPC hockey, 77 Topps basketball, 78 OPC hockey, 79 Topps hockey

parkerj · March 6, 2009 2:18AM

3 chromes in one 2001 heritage box is a really great rip.

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 2:26AM

1976 OPC hockey pack no star power. Purchased the pack for $35 from BBCE.

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 2:27AM

1977 Topps basketball two HOFers but the centering in the pack was all over the place. Purchased the pack from BBCE for $15.

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 2:28AM

1978 OPC hockey pack. Decent centering but no stars. Puchased the pack from BBCE for $18.

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 2:34AM

1979 Topps hockey pack will open the last remaining pack I had prior to my latest BBCE purchase. Pack cost $54.
I will also open one of the 79 packs I received this morning.

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 2:47AM

Ok I am going to open 1979 Topps hockey packs until I pull a Gretzky or run out of packs. After this last pack four are left.

Robb

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 2:58AM

No Gretzky but the corners in these packs are pretty sharp, whoever owned this box/packs prior to BBCE did a good job of storing it.
Some HOFers and I almost did a flip when I say the Wayne Cashman, I was looking at the cards from the back and thought I had finally hit my Wayne Gretzky. Alas it was not to be.

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 3:03AM

The quest continues. Two down two to go.

fergie23 · March 6, 2009 3:12AM

The Great One!! Card was 2nd from the top. I also included the card prior to the Gretzky and after the Gretzky!
Super cool and I have one pack left to open when I get back from Hawaii! Now let's see if I can pull a Jordan rookie, that would be quite the doubleheader.
