1988 Topps FB Jumbo boxes + new sales items added - see FIRST post

I decided I would just consolidate a few different sale things all in one post.

ITEM #1
Thanks to all the people who bought my 1988 Topps Football Jumbo boxes. I have ONE MORE BOX for sale. These boxes are huge, as they have 24 packs of 39 cards each + 1 glossy 1,000 yard insert.

That's 936 cards per box + 24 glossy inserts. This set is starting to get some play lately, with Chris Doleman making the HOF. His rookie is in there, plus other rookies, like Bo Jackson, Kevin Greene, Vinny Testaverde, Brian Bosworth, Jerome Brown, Cornelius Bennett, and more... Good chance of getting some PSA 10s in here, as these packs are looser than cellos, so the corners don't get crushed as easily.

Selling the last box for $20 + $11 shipping ( medium flat rate priority). Boxes are X-outs, but seem pretty clean and not searched.


ITEM#2
1984 Topps Baseball Sticker box case - this is a case of 24 of the long boxes that contain 35 stickers each, but more importantly, have two player cards on the back of each box. Players featured on the boxes include Ripken Boggs, Murray, Oliver, Carew, Hernandez, Yount, Cruz, Madlock, Singleton, Simmons, Trammell, Whitaker, McRae, Wilson, Ray, and more. These cards can be cut out. They are part of the PSA registry for these players, so a lot of player collectors will need these.

You get an unopened case of 24 boxes - there are 12 in the complete set, so you may get two complete sets in this case. I opened one case and did get two complete sets, but I can't guarantee they are all like that. So you get the 24 boxes (48 cards) plus 840 stickers!

2 cases available - $20 each + exact priority shipping (case weighs 5 lbs and will be double boxed).

    I wanted to provide a scan of the 4 Dolemans from my first box. Really nice cards, centering was the only issue with any of them.

    Thanks again,
    -Larry

    Got the cards. of course I could not hold back and ripped the whole thing last night. I got two Bo Jacksons. One creased in two spots. Second card from the bottom so I am sure it took a beating. The other one is O/C. The Doleman looks like a 10 to me. Two Testeverde's. One dung corners and the other is a solid 9. It was interesting see the snow flakes on so many cards this year. Totally forgot about that. I have some really nice HOF'ers with 50/50 but just a touch on a corner will hold me back from sending in. I will go through with a fine tooth comb and see if I will send anything in.

  • Got my 4 boxes! Promptly sent. Thanks Stan

    Im on a mission to build a perfectly centered gem mint Set. No not in slabs. The TPGers are way to soft on centering and card surface for my taste.

    To date I have ripped:

    10-12 wax Boxes
    8 cello Boxes
    4 Jumbo Boxes
    ( Also just bought a sealed case of cellos)

    I throw away all the cards with : wax Stains, bad corners, creases, bad centering, print or surface flaws.

    I have yet to start to assembled the set. I just rip them, sort them and remove the junk cards. While Ive pulled many nice Bo Jackson's and Vinny Rookies Ive become so critical of those cards that Ive not been able to accept one for my set yet. There's just gotta be one in this next case of cellos!

    While I have pulled nice cards from all these products some of the best ones came from those Wax box breaks. I pulled quite a few Bo Jacksons from the Jumbo boxes, but most were always located toward the bottom of the pack and vulerable due to the loose packaging.

    One card that I had trouble pulling from the wax and cellos was a centered Neil Anderson Rookie. I pulled several beauties from these jumbos as this card seemed to always be located toward the middle of the pack. Same with the Chris Doleman Rookies. Pulled some real nice ones as well.

    No luck on any Vinnys.

    Once I begin to assemble the set I would like to keep in touch with those of you who have ripped lots of these 88's In the event I can't find that last perfectly centered gem Mint Common!

    Glad everyone enjoyed their boxes - would love to hear of any jumbos with stars on top. Or if anyone gets any graded - how that turns out.
