Re: I love the 1980s! The ultimate unopened rip quest to build Topps, Fleer, Donruss PSA 10 sets...
Awesome results on that 84 rack box! Mattingly showing rack is icing on the cake. When I get around to busting out boxes to rip it’s always with friends who collected during the 80s. And we tend to focus more on the Stars then on the condition. Pulling the big rookie of our favorite players / cards still has some of the… -

This was the sweet-spot of my childhood collecting. I was born in 1974 and had a handful of cards in my collection from 78 and 79 but had more from 80 and 81. 1982 is where I really hit my swing and 82-89 or so was peak pack busting for me. 82-83-84 Topps sets will always get me excited. I just love those cards. The 82 In… -

This is my favorite thread along with Mr Peanut's insanely awesome 83 masterpiece. Thanks letting everyone enjoy in your adventure. The 87 Fleer and Donruss hit home. They were $1 and $3 each per pack when I started seriously collecting in 87. And it took effort to actually locate them at the time. This forum got me back… -

Hey Kris. Here is where this effort stood as of this past February 24th, which was the 1-year anniversary of when I started this project. The first number is the cards I have for each set, and the percentage in parenthesis is the “hit rate” of my contenders out of all the boxes I have opened from that year. I have… -

Wow...28,000+ views and 900+ comments along the way! It is hard to believe that I started this 1980s ripping journey to build PSA 10 sets exactly one year ago. What a fun project! I have been blessed to open pack after pack, box after box, reliving my childhood and looking for cardboard perfection. Along the way, I have…
