BBCE 1980's Group Rip Pack Runs... lets see your hits!

I just realized... Did BBCE throw in the OPC and Leaf packs?

Good catch, they did. The Pro Set packs of football were throw ins as well. Awesome service.

Well not just that. That service also made a sale, as I'll be placing an order for some 87 and 88 OPC later this week.

It's refreshing to see places that get business right.

Cool! Thanks, BBCE! I got 2 1988 OPC packs and thought that was just a mistake and that 1 of each 1986-1988 was included as part of the rip.

Gum came off the back of my 1987 Pete Rose perfectly after a day in the freezer, by the way.

Hey Don, that Ripken RC is unbelievable!!!

Nice pulls with a Moon to boot

mtcards · May 21, 2009 1:26AM

Shows you how much I am paying attention to what I am buying. I saw "RIP" and bought one of each. I thought the OPC was included in the rip. Thats pretty cool.

EAsports · May 21, 2009 11:57AM

I'd love to see (or hear) what everyone else pulled from their packs.... Hope we can revive it and get some more breaks!

Here's the Ripken that I pulled. Do you think the centering will preclude it from being a 10? (Dirt is either on toploader or scanner!)

daddymc · May 21, 2009 12:02PM

Thanks Bill, I was really happy with the centering on both, especially the Ripken. I may try and sub them on the group sub if I can find time to put something together this weekend.

Yeah, I think the slight tilt will probably keep it out of a 10 holder.

animist · May 21, 2009 12:58PM

I ripped 2 of the baseball runs and one of the football.

I don't submit a lot of 1980s, so I would appreciate opinions if any of these are gradable (I know most are not).

Here are the 81-84 baseball highlights. More to come...

The Palmers were in the same pack

The Bench's were in the same pack...next to each other

animist · May 21, 2009 1:07PM

Here are the 85s:

Mintacular · May 21, 2009 1:09PM

Nothing for me, but darn fun. $40 more than worth it--reminded me how I got addicted to baseball collecting. In the future, this cannot be as fun as there is no such thing as off-centering, wax stains, etc...

animist · May 21, 2009 1:15PM

Here are some 86s:

animist · May 21, 2009 1:19PM

Best of the rest of the baseball...yep, got a Ripken FF. The Griffey Jr. is centered, but has a bad upper right corner.

skilow · May 21, 2009 1:19PM

Anyone pull an Al Pedrique of the Pirates from 1988 that is gradable?

EAsports · May 21, 2009 10:24PM

So you got a Ripken AND Griffey RC? Wow!

lsutigers1973 · May 21, 2009 10:29PM

I got mine yesterday. I figured there would be at least one Ripken FF card from this box. I got a Randy Johnson w/ full Marlboro ad in my one pack.

The 1983 Donruss box we got was searched. I had 3 cards in my one pack with wax stains on the back.

My best hits were from a few 1983 Fleer grocery racks I added. Got Boggs, Sandberg and Ripken from one pack.

Statman · May 21, 2009 10:50PM

The title of this thread is "Lets see your hits" - you'll notice there are no scans in my message. No hits to show!

I did two of the baseball runs, and while it was still a good deal for the money, I struck out big time. Almost NO star power at all. I got a couple of Ripkens, but all were o/c. Only notable rookie I got was an 84 Topps Strawberry - not even that notable. My Fleer cards were pretty well-centered, but Donruss was awful. Topps was Topps - hit and miss.

There should be plenty of great stuff out there still - because I didn't get any of it. But it was fun to see some cards I have not seen for a long time.

I'd love to do a rack-pack run or something like that next time. Racks just seem to yield so much better condition cards. not the grocery acks, but just regular racks.

Thanks for putting this together - it was still a blast to open.

Mintacular · May 21, 2009 11:13PM

I second that--no hits but unbelievably fun...

minnesotahusker · May 21, 2009 11:36PM

Love the picture on that 1982 Donruss Dave Parker!! Someone got in his kitchen.

Aric · May 22, 2009 1:24AM

Wow, an FF and a Griffey RC. That would have made my day right there. Imagine pulling those back in the day. I received my packs yesterday. Did one football and one baseball. Its going to be a slow rip for me as I have to maximize the entertainment value on these. I ripped the 89 baseball last night and got zero star power. I added a 1980 football rack but they sent me a 1980 baseball wax instead. I think I'm going to take it as a sign and keep the baseball pack. Hopefully its got a Henderson.

animist · May 22, 2009 4:09AM

Would the Griffey Jr. even get a PSA 8 with that upper right corner?

scashaggy · May 22, 2009 10:43AM

Received my packs yesterday. Didn't get anything huge but a fun rip none the less. I will scan some of my better cards.

The year was 1989, Nintendo ruled video games, and Score released their first set of football cards. Another newcomer, Pro Set hit the market with their craptacular cards. At least it's not as bad as the following years.

scashaggy · May 22, 2009 10:56AM

1987 and 1988. A nice crop of HOF's here. Who knew that, that guy Young from the terrible Bucks would be a future HOF? Nah, it will never happen.

scashaggy · May 22, 2009 11:06AM

Some more nice HOF's. Oh yea, and a Monk RC.

scashaggy · May 22, 2009 11:14AM

The Elway and Montana came back-to-back, nice pack. I was really hoping for an Elway or Marino RC out of the '84 packs but no luck. I did get some guy named Eric something though.

jswieton · May 22, 2009 11:20AM

Nice rip!! The Art Monk looks good.

scashaggy · May 22, 2009 11:21AM

Growing up in Miami, I saw a lot of Dolphins games and even went to some. So while cards of the 'Marks Brothers' may not be highly desired, I was happy to pull them. I also pulled several nice stickers out of the packs.

scashaggy · May 22, 2009 11:33AM

What do you think of the Monk, will it grade well?

Sportsamerica · May 22, 2009 11:36AM

<< What do you think of the Monk, will it grade well?

I would say 8/9 due to r/l centering.

SidePocket · May 22, 2009 5:21PM

The best of my FB rip - opened one pack from each year and saved one -

jayhawke · May 22, 2009 10:25PM

That '86 Rice looks great. Is there a light touch on the top right? Probably a 9.

Bunker · May 22, 2009 11:16PM

I received my packs and ripped them all, but found nothing worth scanning. It was fun though and I would do it again in a minute.

daddymc · May 23, 2009 12:31AM

Nice '86 Rice and '85 Marino.

scashaggy · May 23, 2009 3:42AM

Nice Rice.

scashaggy · May 23, 2009 8:32AM

As I went through the cards again, I see that I didn't scan this one. Shame on me. Too bad it's OC.

mike92694 · May 23, 2009 9:28AM

i got nothing of interest from this group run, but it was very fun, and i want to thank BBCE also for the two extra Pro-Set packs.

leathtech · May 23, 2009 11:38AM

Here is my favorite card I pulled from the football rip... as soon as I pulled it I new it would make a great TTM - Sent it out on Tuesday and got it back today! Jim is a great TTM'er!

Sportsamerica · May 23, 2009 12:46PM

Ripped my baseball and football.. Nothing worth scanning, no stars in Football at all.. In Baseball I got 81 henderson 99/1 centering right to left and a 81 Ryan (80/20) centering..

scashaggy · May 23, 2009 12:58PM

Nice McMahon, I'm going to send several out myself after the holiday.

daddymc · May 23, 2009 1:33PM

Wow, quick turnaround on the McMahon TTM!

Nice Singletary RC too.

DoctorK · May 23, 2009 11:31PM

Nothing much to speak of with my baseball packs. The highlight was an o/c '83 donruss Ripken.

Aric · May 24, 2009 1:43PM

I finished the baseball rip tonight. No big rookies to speak of, a few hall of famers. A lot of fun though, brought back a lot of memories. Mostly memories of me pulling commons. lol

Aric · May 25, 2009 1:14AM

I believe only 10 people have reported in so far on the baseball rips and 7 on the football rips. I'm going to rip my football run today. Here's whats been reported so far:

Baseball:
82 Donruss Ripken x2
83 Fleer Boggs
84 Donruss Mattingly
85 Topps Clemens
89 Upper Deck Griffey
89 Upper Deck Rick Mahler 82 Topps chase card
89 Fleer Ripken FF

Football:
81 Topps Monk
82 Topps Lawrence Taylor
85 Topps Moon
85 Topps Marino x2
86 Topps Rice
89 Score Aikman

digdug · May 25, 2009 1:32AM

jfkheat got a barry sanders score rookie.

I will probably open mine tonight if i get home in time

1960toppsguy · May 25, 2009 1:41AM

ok

scashaggy · May 25, 2009 1:51AM

Also an '81 Winslow, an '84 Dickerson, and an '83 Singletary.

EAsports · May 25, 2009 11:27AM

And an 87 Donruss Kruk.

Big money.

1989FleerBillRipkencollector · May 26, 2009 12:19AM

<< Is it possible to reseal/counterfeit the Upper Deck foil packs?
Could it be possible that the UD factory had an old topps card laying around and just happen to slip into the production line?

One of the most bizarre instances i've seen. >>

I dont think counterfeitting would be the way. Resealing has to be it. I never thought modern foil could be resealed but it can. Nothing seems to be 100% safe anymore. You need a degree in scamming before you can wisely collect nowdays.

But if you have the technology to reseal foil packs why would you throw an 82 Topps card in there. I mean why put anything in there at all. It could simply be a pack missing a card. It just doesn't make any sense. Its like a bad conspiracy orchestrated my Rick Mahler, himself.
