Got these yesterday from BBCE and ripped them last night. The '77 box was the best and I got 16 cards that I'll be submitting, a few stars and some low pop commons that have shots at 10's. I didn't get a Dawson, Murphy, or Sutter. The '80 box had terrible top to bottom centering on the whole. Is this common for the '80 set? I did get 2 Henderson's. The one with good centering has a small indentation. Any idea as to what it will grade? I was thinking 8. I only got 3 cards that have shots at 10 that I'll be subbing including the Reggie. I should be getting my 2 boxes of '78 Basketball sometime today.

    nice Carter, T. image

    hope you got some nice cards to play with......i bought two '77 vending boxes from Steve early last year, glad i did....the first box was loaded with off-centers, miscuts and sadness, but the 2nd one was filled with dynamite. image

    Way to pull two Hendersons from one vending box! I've opened two of these boxes and they had one in each box. The centering is par for the course with that set. Nice '77s too!

    Love those 77s. Are you planning to sell the remnants of your 77 box that are ungradeable?


    Thanks,

    sure, along with the Ryan I pulled B.Robinson, Rice, Jackson, Fingers, Gossage, Martinez RC, Eckersley, Hunter, Perez, Yount, Carlton, Stargell, McCovey, Sutton, Fidrych RC, Niekro, Palmer, Jenkins, and Seaver. Send me a pm and let me know what you were thinking. There are a lot of them that will pull 9's that I didn't even pull out to sub I'm sure.

    Evertime I see a Henderson rookie I think of back when I was a kid & we actually "flipped" & traded cards. I lost my Henderson rookie in a Flip & never say it again image

    Those days were great. We used to walk down to the local deli/bar with our allowance & buy as many cards as we could. I loved the 3 pack rack packs that you could see the cards in. We used to fight over those....Sit on the stoop behind the store & open them up. Great memories of a great childhood collecting. Only bad part is that the era that I collected was the ever popular & mass produced 80's thrugh 90's. I did build a nice Mattingly collection though.

    I really like reading all the posts & thinking back to those days, I have a 9 Year old son who is just starting to get into cards.
