A HUGE THANK YOU to an anonymous board member.

Recently BUNKER ran a group rip that I was not able to take part in. The other day I received a PM from him informing me that I should be on the lookout for a package from BBCE. He said a board member bought some packs and had them sent to me! Well, today I get a package that contained TWO 80/81 Basketball Wax and TWO 85/86 OPC Hockey wax packs.

I can't believe one of you guys bought these 4 packs for me! That was soooo generous of you. Believe me, one of these days when I get back on my feet (it may take another couple of years) I will be sure to pay it forward.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!

PS Now for the stoooooooooopid question: Should I rip all four packs? (That is a VERY stupid question to ask this group!) Did anyone start a thread for the RIP?
STAY HEALTHY!

    Sell them. image



    Just kidding. Very generous of whoever it was that sent them to you. image

    As far as what to do I've never had the opportunity to be in the position to make a decision on packs like those so I really can't say one way or the other but good luck if you decide to open them.

    I opened one of the Hockey Packs ... no hits and cards were not in very great shape. Still, it was fun to rip the pack and again I thank the very generous person who bought these packs for me. Tomorrow I'll open one of the basketball packs. Thanks again and I hope the person that bought these for me gets a MARIO and a BIRD!

    Thanks guys!

    Just ripped one of the basketball ... however, like the hockey ... no luck and nothing to show.

    I still have two left ... keeping my fingers crossed.

    I have a strong feeling that the very generous person who gave me these is going to get A BIRD in his packs!!!
