  • Got mine today and already ripped.

    I was missing my 2 packs of 79 Topps football. Sent Steve an email.

    Anyway, 95 Bowmans Best my best card was a well centered Griffey.

    1986 Topps were a bust for me. Centering was nice but a lot of snow and fisheyes. Did get a submittable Payton RB.

    1978 and 79 OPC are horrific. All OC or miscut. I did get a pack with Dale Murphy clearly showing on back so I saved that one.
    Best card was a Ryan and it was on back with lots of wax:

    image


    1988 Fleer Basketball were weird. Centering all over the place and I had one pack with 4 All Star cards in it. Thankfully one was Jordan but OC L/R.

    These are the 2 best I got. The Miller definitely looks 10ish to me.

    image


    The 1981 Topps football are just as clean and well centered as the last box we busted. I pulled about 15 submittable cards.

    Then there was this guy. He's not tilty just a little curled and I scanned with the lid up:

    I got completely effed... my UPS guy came and went. Nothing. Now I have to wait until MONDAY, which is an incredibly busy day for me. I don't get it... unless he waited until Wednesday to ship it, the package should have arrived today. Super Super Suck Day! :

    Nice montana!.. how many packs did you buy? I should have bought more 81 rather spreading it out and getting a pack of 84 and 86. I really want to upgrade my psa 6 montana. then again.. i should just buy one rather than spending more on wax where i just wiff.. i should get my packs today.. only bought 3.. i'll post with any hits

    But I had four of the 1985 Topps Vending Baseball on my order, so mine is likely coming UPS. Has anyone who ordered the vending boxes received theirs?
  • That Montana is very nice.....I haven't received anything yet as I also ordered a couple 85 vending.

    I bought 3 packs of 2001 Bowman and 3 packs of 2001 Topps....Here is what I got, which I don't think is much to begin with...

    image

    image

    Are any of the above cards worth the trouble of getting them slabbed?


    Then I got this one:

    image

    and this one:

    image

    Again...what do you think? Anything worth sending in?
  • The Rollins has a touch of white on the top left...the Ichiro/Pujols looks to be at least a PSA 9. There does look to be an edge issue on the left border keeping it from a 10 holder. This is all based on the front scan only.
  • BigRedMachineBigRedMachine Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭
    Okay.

    I'm home. Got my beer. Ballgame on. I'll do my small rip. Then I can live through the rest of you next week when yours arrives.

    I bought 2 packs of topps traded, 78 opc, 84 donruss baseball & 84 topps, 85 topps, and 86 topps football.

    I'll be opening both packs of topps traded, and one pack of the each. The other pack will be added to my unopened pack collection that now may be worth $100. image

    For TTGAS, here I go, scans to follow.

  • BigRedMachineBigRedMachine Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭
    First pack of topps traded.

    Not the Pujols I wanted, but could've been worse.

    Gold rookie #'d 2001 of Jake Peavy.

    image
  • BigRedMachineBigRedMachine Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭
    Pack #2 of topps traded yielded absolutely nothing, it was the dreaded manager pack. 4 of them!!

    You get no scans of those.

    And I see by my previous scan I have one dirty scanner!!
  • BigRedMachineBigRedMachine Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭
    The 78 OPCs are in pretty poor shape. One card was creased, everything off center.

    image
  • BigRedMachineBigRedMachine Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭
    No Mattingly in my '84 donruss pack, but this card looks pretty minty:

    image
  • BigRedMachineBigRedMachine Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭
    My best card in '85 football was a sticker. Ugh. Not much star power for me.

    image

    Hard to believe this stuff is 25 years old now.

    Oh, and any 1985 topps graded a PSA 10 should be worth One Million Dollars. Period. Borders and corners of mine are PSA 7 range at best.
  • Very nice hit on the Peavy Gold and the Donruss Ripken, let's ee them 86's!
  • BigRedMachineBigRedMachine Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭
    Everytime I place an order from BBCE, I seem to buy an 86 pack, and never hit a Young or Rice.

    A little star power in this pack.

    image

    But like was said before, most cards had print dots and snowing....badly. I was slow rolling my cards and wasn't sure I wanted to hit a Rice if it was covered with what looks like dust....except it won't wipe off.

    I hope those of you lucky enough to hit the Rice's in the box don't have that problem. The Marino I pulled doesn't.

    One pack left....84 topps.

    My 85 had a Marino sticker. My 86 had a Marino. What's the chances the '84 will?

    My luck??? 1 in 347,321.
  • BigRedMachineBigRedMachine Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭
    Most of the cards in the pack look like the Esiason. It's snowing in every pic. LoL
  • BigRedMachineBigRedMachine Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭
    84 football pack yielded on off center Montana, nothing else.

    Most of the other cards in the pack were centered a little better.

    It's hard not to open the other "half" of my order, but since I have no luck, I think I'll add them to my modest unopened collection.

    Good luck to the rest of you.

    I'm ready for next months rip!! Thanks again Bunker.

    I opened my '01 Bowman with nothing worth scanning. I opened my '01 Topps and got something decent, but I'll have to post a pic after my daughter goes to bed.
  • OAKESY25OAKESY25 Posts: 4,726 ✭✭✭

    In the event anyone has their PIAW, I have contacted Steve a few times, and missed him, and will pay him soon via PP or other.
    Just in the event someone wants to purchase any of my liabilities by the Caesar methods!

    First pack of '88 Fleer basketball had a Jordan sticker on the pack- terribly off center, and so much wax on the pack it looked like it was used to hold someone's candle. Oh well, I'll put it up on the 'bay raw
  • I talked to Steve this morning - paid. Sorry for taking so long.
  • 2 packs of 1984 Topps FB -- Names of note: Bradshaw (2), Randy White (2), Dwight Stephenson (2), Mark Duper (2), Ozzie Newsome, Herm Edwards...Notice a pattern, here? Corners were all very sharp. The Bradshaws are probably the worst of all cards in the packs as far as centering goes.

    Did a little better in my 2 packs of 1986 Topps FB -- Dan Marino that looks really good; Dolphins Team Leaders that looks pretty good; Boomer Esiason that looks exactly like the one already posted with the dust and a couple fisheyes to boot; Steve Young with about 8 fisheyes and a little corner wear. Also got a Freddie Joe Nunn and a couple Saints that I have tons of, but being an Ole Miss and Saints collector, it's nice to get those in 24 year old packs. Also got a real nice looking Craig James that I should send to Mike Leach.

    Got mine today. Nothing to worth posting. (4) 1984 Topps FB packs yielded a Payton, Payton RB and Franco. All three O/C. (2) packs of 1975 Topps minis yielded a Winfield O/C.

    Anyone with 1985 Topps Vending receive theirs yet? Mine wasn't shipped until Thursday night, and it's scheduled to arrive on Monday. The anticipation is killing me! lol
  • PROMETHIUS88PROMETHIUS88 Posts: 2,957 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Got my 10 packs of 1978 OPC and 5 packs of 2001 Topps Traded. Have one pack with Jim Palmer on back that I saved. The rest of the packs were like everyone elses... horrible oc. Decent star power, couple of Rose, Bench, Jackson, Dawson, couple of Ryans, but no regular of him. 2001 Topps traded... not really sure what I was looking for. Got one gold, several chrome, a Fernando Tatis chrome refractor and this one... not sure what's on the top in the scan, but it is not on the card.

    This was one of the few centered cards out of 4 packs of 79 OPC:

    Here's the best of the rest. The Payton is probably the nicest.

  • That Ryan looks outstanding! Looks 10ish to me!
  • initialDinitialD Posts: 1,624 ✭✭✭
    Busted my 5 packs of 79 OPC and 4 packs of 78 OPC

    The 78's were an utter waste, all diamond OC miscuts, only notable was YAZ

    The 79's were very nice, woulda gone for more now knowing. Although no star power some sharp commons

    This was the only notable from the 79's, check out that fuzz image

    I forgot to post scans before I boxed my worthwhile stuff up and put it in a box for the March special. I'll patiently await my 5 PSA 10 Jordan Stickers....

    I'd be interested in anyone's raw commons from the 1975 mini's... even if they are oc - I'm building a set with freshly openned mini's.
