This is a Sickness And I Blame All of You !!!

Evening,

So in another thread here I complain about my grades on a lot of 1978 OPC Baseball that just popped. Not very happy with the results of the recent Box Break or my picking ability, or inconsistent PSA grading, or probably combo of all three. Anyway, So this is a lesson, I bought Two of the Boxes in the most recent rip and ripped one Box with the intention of sitting on the other for a few years. So after not happy results, this just solidify's ones reasons to just sit on the second box! Right? Any rational, clear thinking, Non Addictive Personality type, would know exactly what needs to happen, Correct?

OK, so all those thoughts ran through my head for the first 2 minutes after I saw my grades and then the Little Voice Goes: "You have a Second Box !!!" No NO No!!!!!!

This is a desease/addiction you have all afflicted me with. 5-6 years ago I was merrily going along in my Collecting World and then saw this thread about Vintage Rips, my first foray was Football 1978-1986 or some such, before long the High was getting more and more expensive, before you knew it I had pulled Two, Not One, But Two 1978 Tony Dorsett Rookies from one pack, that Both came back MINT 9's. The Hook was set...I was addicted...Life as I knew it was over !!!!!

You are all to Blame and hope your all Proud of youselves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Neil,

    Don't blame me. I don't rip a thing except for the box from BBCE to get to what's inside. You really need to follow the unopened crowd on here and control the urge to rip. After medication and intense counseling I'm sure you will be able to not rip vintage packs anymore. image

    I actually got all the ripping out of my system as a kid so now I don't feel the urge. But I do like to torment. image

    Vintage rips are no longer part of my action.After opening about 3 boxes of 75 minis and getting all types of miscuts,white spots and off centering in the majority of each box it is time to quit the rip.I have had success with 78 topps boxes and vending.
