Group Rip - 1980-81 Topps Basketball box (Box Sold)

mmync · December 4, 2009 2:52PM

If anyone is interested in a group rip, I have an unopened wax box of 1980-81 Topps Basketball.

This box contains 36 unopened wax packs.

Steve Hart from bbcexchange personally inspected this box, and then he shrink wrapped the box and put his sticker on it, so you know that you will be getting some really nice clean stuff.

Price is $30.00 per pack + $5 shipping.

(If you buy 1 pack shipping is $5.00, if you buy all 36 packs, shipping is still only $5.00.

Just let me know how many packs you want.

I would love to see someone pull a PSA 10 Bird/Magic rookie card

OK, I'll ask the question - Does BBCE still have the box to do the shipping?

jeffcbay · December 4, 2009 3:11PM

That's a two-letter answer... starts with an "N" and ends with an "O".

jeffcbay · December 4, 2009 3:13PM

So if I buy say... 8 packs. That's $40 for shipping?

I was just thinking the same thing.

bobbyw8469 · December 4, 2009 3:23PM

If only Bill was awake right now... lol.

KOBEcollector · December 4, 2009 3:27PM

Im interested in all the packs ... Just lmk if you can give me a break on the $ 180 shipping charge

jeffcbay · December 4, 2009 3:36PM

Don't worry... I'm sure mmync is TRUSTWORTHY

Bigjohn69 · December 4, 2009 3:36PM

It may have went over a little better if he said 35.00 a pack with free shipping,, lol,, heh?,,,bj

Here, I'll post a pic of myself too so he doesn't feel like I'm singling him out.

No, if you only buy 1 pack then shipping is $5.00. If you buy all 36 packs, then shipping is still only $5.00.

That is not what you state. You state $5.00 per pack (no matter how many packs you get)...

Good morning Jeff!

I believe this board has seen this trick before and it didn't turn out too good last time.

jeffcbay · December 4, 2009 11:37PM

I believe his name was Gary, but I could be wrong.

how about you send the box back to Steve and allow him to ship everything out and reinspect all the packs... if you do that I'm in for 2!

then I would be in for 2 as well

mlbfan2 · December 5, 2009 2:55AM

Looks like this might be a solo rip.

mmync · December 5, 2009 3:12AM

I just got this box back from Steve a couple of days ago, so there is no way I am going to ask him to re-inspect and re-shrink wrap the box. He has already done enough favors for me. You guys are more then welcome to contact him and ask him about the box. If you guys would like, I can leave the box shrink wrapped, and once the box is sold out, I will ship it out free of charge to somebody that is involved in the rip, and then they can remove the shrink wrap and send everyone there individual packs. Another option is for someone to just buy the box from me for $1080, and then I will ship it out to you free of charge. If it makes you guys feel any better, here is an email that Steve sent me a couple of days ago. It clearly shows why Steve is the classiest and most trusted person in the business, and why I try to send him as much business as possible. Let me make it perfectly clear, I have no interest in competing with Steve, and I encourage everyone to spend as much money as they can at www.bbcexchange.com

Mike,
There is no need for you to return the favor! I love this hobby and business and am glad to do things for people that could use the help or advise. How about I let you know what the shipping cost is on returning your 80/81 basketball box and you paypal me the shipping fees? I wrapped it up and put our company sticker on the bottom. Thanks! Steve

I just got this box back from Steve a couple of days ago, so there is no way I am going to ask him to re-inspect and re-shrink wrap the box.

So you had a box of 80/81 Topps basketball that you purchased and you sent it to Steve to have him validate that the box and packs were legit (perhaps with the intention of selling). Steve did this either as a favor or in due diligence before purchasing and now you are trying to sell the box at the same price that BBCE does ($1200 - 10% = $1080).

While I have no qualms that the box is legit your reputation makes a group rip unsellable. If I hadn't just purchased an 80/81 box I would have been willing to pay in the ~$875 range for the box. Knowing full well that the exact same box would be sold by BBCE for $1080 but your previous transgressions on this board have to be factored in which in my mind would be -20% or so.

Best of luck with whatever you end up doing.

DrJ · December 5, 2009 8:21AM

Put me down for 2.

VitoCo1972 · December 5, 2009 8:30AM

Robb said, "transgressions" LOL!!!

Allen · December 5, 2009 9:24AM

Guess what he sent me..... Nothing.

DrJ · December 5, 2009 11:39AM

Should I send my money to you or your card collection assistant?

mmync · December 5, 2009 12:03PM

The box has been sold.

goraiders · December 5, 2009 12:14PM

I'll take 4

DrJ · December 5, 2009 12:34PM

<< The box has been sold. >>

I hope you refund my noney. I already sent your assistant the funds for my 2 packs.

Liar

Ironmanfan · December 5, 2009 2:10PM

<< The box has been sold. >>

did you throw in the forged 500 Home Run Hitters print with it?

Allen · December 5, 2009 3:51PM

So I guess with your $1080 you can send me my Ted Williams Pack.

lsutigers1973 · December 17, 2009 3:09AM

<< So I guess with your $1080 you can send me my Ted Williams Pack. >>

So, who bought it and did you send Allen his TW pack yet?

initialD · December 17, 2009 3:40AM

I'll take 2 packs only if there's an extra Jordan in each
