bziddy · September 25, 2009 7:19AM

Had mine delivered to work -- it's at our main shipping and receiving processing area, which means it probably won't be in my mailbox here until Monday. Hope someone posts some stuff so I can live vicariously through them.

IJustLoveCards · September 25, 2009 10:35AM

I ripped a series 4 pack..here are the results...

Not to great:

OAKESY25 · September 25, 2009 10:44AM

pretty nicely centered on a few of those at least.. may bode well for some stars if you hit any

nam812 · September 25, 2009 10:46AM

Better things are coming, I can feel it.

IJustLoveCards · September 25, 2009 10:48AM

ripping a 75 pack next....

IJustLoveCards · September 25, 2009 10:57AM

Ok, I had a few extra packs of 1975 topps baseball as they didnt sell out...

I opened one of them..here are the results..

yankeeno7 · September 25, 2009 10:59AM

ohhhhh a Jim Sundberg rookie!

onefasttalon · September 25, 2009 11:29AM

I picked up (2) '75 Topps packs.... and am in the process of ripping now.

The first pack.... nothing too overwhelming, but... pretty cards!

gemint · September 25, 2009 11:51AM

Got my two '73 packs today. I usually don't open vintage wax, so I haven't decided if I'll open one. The other pack I definitely am not opening. It has Roberto Clemente on the back and Pete Rose on the front! Thanks Felicia!

onefasttalon · September 25, 2009 11:51AM

Pack #2... a little better as far as being closer to mint.... but again, no real star power.

I did get one card that looks like a solid 9.... but does have a little tilt.

Still very happy about getting a chance to rip a couple '75 packs!

OAKESY25 · September 25, 2009 11:56AM

It has Roberto Clemente on the back and Pete Rose on the front!

holy shnikies

daddymc · September 25, 2009 12:07PM

I decided to rip one of my '76 packs. The other is destined for a slab someday as I have decided to try and build a collection of unopened material. My '74s will probably get slabbed as well. Here are the results of the pack I did rip. No star power, but still fun to rip regardless.

IJustLoveCards · September 25, 2009 12:14PM

<< Got my two '73 packs today. I usually don't open vintage wax, so I haven't decided if I'll open one. The other pack I definitely am not opening. It has Roberto Clemente on the back and Pete Rose on the front! Thanks Felicia!

>>

You are welcome..I pulled each pack as the orders came in, It was totally random..I think you made some money on that one, not really sure...

Hummm....ok maybe a little....

Now I will say this, since you scored the big pack, I would keep it, get it grded and labeled, and open the other, thats just the right thing to do..I mean that pack you are keeping with clemente and rose is worth a bunch of money.

Its not like you lose by openeing the other...

I'd say that's the keeper. Now let's get to rippin' the other one. RIP RIP RIP

yankeesman · September 25, 2009 1:07PM

First, let me again say thanks a ton to Felicia for the packs. The 75s are particularly stunning! Very nice. Here's the goods:

And I present to you possibly the worst centered Jim Ed Rice 1976 Topps card of all time!

I have another pack of each year that eventually temptation will force me to open. Good luck with yours!

Treetop · September 26, 2009 12:58AM

Good morning all. Here's the cards. Nice to get the aaron. A few 8's, but nothing to rock the grading world.

mcadams · September 26, 2009 1:12AM

Nice cards, thanks to everyone for posting scans. I guess Aaron is always a nice pull, but that pose makes me wonder what Topps was thinking. I can imagine a few photographers (who probably weren't baseball fans) were sitting around and one says "Hey, for the Aaron card, we really need to capture his.........fielding prowess" C'mon Topps, show the sluggers slugging.

-Michael

itzagoner · September 26, 2009 1:31AM

kinda dig the action photos, everyone knows Hank could hit it out.

but that '73 Epstein is cool.

thunderdan · September 26, 2009 2:17AM

Lynn McGlothen=David Ortiz (pre juice)

2cardguys · September 26, 2009 2:59AM

OK Sorry I couldn't get this done last night....and this afternoon I'm leaving for the Yankee Game so I'll probably only be able to upload the 1975 Topps. I opened 2 out of 3 1975 Topps and 1 each of 1973 and 1974. The 1975 Topps are the best so far and I love the cards. Not alot of well centered star power, but some decent cards of stars and some real nice other cards... so here we go: (In no particular order)....

OAKESY25 · September 26, 2009 3:01AM

your packs are centered very very well.. nice going

IJustLoveCards · September 26, 2009 3:34AM

That hernandez rc is smoking!!!

itzagoner · September 26, 2009 3:52AM

so was Keith.

Bosox1976 · September 26, 2009 5:09AM

Heh heh. Don't make Keith the butt of any smoking jokes please.

itzagoner · September 26, 2009 5:19AM

"You know I am only teasing. I love you Keith — always have."

daddymc · September 26, 2009 5:48AM

I agree, that Keith Hernandez RC looks great. Nice pull.

thunderdan · September 26, 2009 7:11AM

<< so was Keith. >>

I would help Keith move his furniture any day of the week.

justmichael · September 26, 2009 7:13AM

Are the bottom 2 corners on the Hernandez rounded or is it just the scan?
Mike

gonzer · September 26, 2009 8:18AM

Anyone notice that 99% of the signatures are clear and legible? When did ballplayers become graduates of pharmacy school with their chicken-scratch auto's they pass on to today's fans?

initialD · September 26, 2009 8:33AM

Got my packs today, one of each year 73-76

Thanks Felicia!

Was guna possibly save and grade them but they didn't seem nice enough to grade

Just busted them all and got absolute squat

Not even guna bother to fire up the scanner as none are worthy

Dam you evil wax!!!!!

2cardguys · September 26, 2009 2:34PM

<< Are the bottom 2 corners on the Hernandez rounded or is it just the scan?
Mike >>

Luckily it's just the scan... just double checked...

initialD · September 28, 2009 12:37PM

Didn't anyone else get sucked into busting theirs?

Are there any noteworthy cards?

C'mon guys there were plenty of sales

bziddy · September 28, 2009 1:29PM

Mine are still floating around my company's shipping and receiving process -- I'm expecting them tomorrow or the next day (they are onsite now). I will be ripping (unless I see something special thru the wrapper).

SDSportsFan · September 28, 2009 2:03PM

<< Anyone notice that 99% of the signatures are clear and legible? When did ballplayers become graduates of pharmacy school with their chicken-scratch auto's they pass on to today's fans? >>

I think it was a bit after the internet and email really started spreading. Since people no longer have to hand-write anything, schools have stopped teaching handwriting/penmanship

.

Same thing nowadays with spelling. Go to CNN.com sometime and read some of their stories. Spelling errors abound. People have become so used to instant-messaging and
now Twitter, with all their abbreviations and spelling shortcuts (i.e., "b4" for "before"), that young people today don't even know how to spell simple words

.

OK, sorry 'bout the rant...you are now free to go back to your regular programming

gonzer · September 28, 2009 9:50PM

Steve, rant away! The electronic age's ushered in a whole (+ another half) generation who have butchered the English language. It's beyond me how an autograph that resembles a road-kill earthworm can be designated "Authentic" and sell for big bucks. Authentic what? I'm pretty sure that Willie Mays started the trend due to the barrage of requests and the lack of time to meaningfully sign.

2cardguys · September 29, 2009 1:53AM

OK...I've posted my 75 Topps but haven't had the time to post the 73 and 74 Topps yet... so in no particulaar order here are the 1973 Topps. I ripped both packs that I purchased....

2cardguys · September 29, 2009 2:10AM

and the last of them for me.... the 1974 Topps I again bought and ripped two packs...

bziddy · September 29, 2009 4:44AM

How many cards are there supposed to be per '74 pack? I'm ripping right now -- scans soon.

2cardguys · September 29, 2009 4:47AM

I think it was 8... good luck!

bziddy · September 29, 2009 5:00AM

The '74 pack only had 6 cards -- good to see Topps QC was firmly in place 35 years back. No star power, but some nice examples in the bunch.

justmichael · September 29, 2009 7:12AM

All I can say is wow?!?I know some of you feel the same way.

IJustLoveCards · September 29, 2009 8:39AM

bziddy I will send you another 74 pack since that one was short a couple of cards..I had it happen to me many times with the 74's.

Thanks,

Felicia

edmundfitzgerald · September 29, 2009 9:16AM

These results are depressing.

fattymacs · October 1, 2009 2:02AM

I'm sending the 73 pack for grading, I already have a graded 76 pack so I ripped it.

Sorry for the delay, here is what I got:
