I was 0/2 on jeter from 93 sp. did pull a manny Ramirez foil EC but that was a little late.

Got my packs in today. Nothing great, but it was fun. Got nothing in my GOTG packs, nothing in my SP legendary pack, nothing in my pinnacle of note, no Jeter in my SP, no Griffey in my UD and a Casey Fossum auto hat out of the piece of game pack. Not going to scan any of it but again, thank you for putting this together and it was a blast. Especially the 93 SP pack which didn't have anything but the RC that was in the pack was in GREAT shape, so, if it would have been a Jeter I would have been pumped .

Would feel a little guilty posting this is my wife hadn't just asked for a divorce, can't have everything I guess. Was one of the happiest moments opening a pack though, despite a little issue with the bottom right corner, 93 SP Jeter, yes. Damon too, and a Gooden in the '85 Donruss. Nothing from the '82 Donruss but a couple of nice materials in the leaf, including Adam Dunn rookie material. I'm one lucky SOB, when it comes to prospecting anyway.


Wow, it's pretty cool even looking at the pic, thanks Bill!!!!!!

Dammit! The Red Sox fan pulls it!! Congrats (even with that little ding it's still in nice shape)

Still haven't received my box at the PO, may have gotten there today, but have to wait until Monday...

 

[Bill Menard]

Damn, nice DJ! Congrats, Thom. Great looking card overall. I think I'm going to just buy one to have.

Great hit! Sounds like you could really use it too. Distraction is awesome, while you're distracted, haha. Congrats man!

Looking for Albert Belle! PM me!

Didn't hit the Jeter in my 2 SP packs. Didn't hit anything in the 85 Topps Rack, 89 Upper Deck pack, or the three Donruss 82 packs.

I opened those last night, and saved the 78 Topps Rack -- contemplating even saving it for a long time. 78 is the year I was born and I have the set minus a few cards but I always thought it'd be cool to open a pack from the year. Got the itch to bust it this afternoon and didn't hit anything much in the first two segments of the rack pack. Then, in the third pack, this was the third-to-last card:



Boom! It's very sharp with the exception of the centering. It's an upgrade over my current copy, too. It was actually the one card I wanted to pull and I'm amazed it happened!

 

[Bill Menard]

Wow! Awesome Murray RC. Damn nice pull. I am wondering where the Griffeys are at this point. Must be in Trauty's packs!

 

[Erich]

I had a blast opening these old packs. I did not get anything earth shattering but is was still fun.

82 Topps Rack- Nadda
93 SP- Nadda
97 Totally Certified- Biggio /1999
01 SP Legendary Cuts- Nadda
01 GOTG- Bunning Auto
01 Leaf Certified- Phil Niekro Jersey /245
01 Leaf Limited- David Williams Auto /1000
03 Piece of the Game- Jay Gibboms Jersey Auto, Vernon Wells Jersey and the Box Topper was Rafael Palmeiro Jersey.

Nobody pull a Jr. from the '89 UD yet? Didn't we split up two boxes of this stuff? I only have two packs and honestly kept my sealed this time since I pulled the Jr. last time, so I am really pulling for someone to knock out a Jr. or two... if not, I guess I'll break my two but was just hoping another member would kill it other than me again

 

[Todd44]

Thanks, definitely one of the coolest pulls I've had in a while.

I'd like to grade it, but upon further inspection, the vertical edges are a little rough, like the blade used to cut it weren't super sharp. Horizontal edges are fine, very smooth. It's hard to see in the photo I took with my phone. Anyone have any idea how that might impact the grade?

Wow! Awesome Murray RC. Damn nice pull. I am wondering where the Griffeys are at this point. Must be in Trauty's packs!

 

[Bill Menard]

It would probably grade out a 7 with edge and centering issues that you describe. It definitely has better eye appeal than that though.

 

[trauty]

23 packs of 1989 Upper Deck. Not so hot. No Griffeys.

 

[trauty]

2- 1984 Topps Rack Packs, 5- 1990 Leaf Series 2 packs, 7- 1982 Donruss packs, 3- 1983 Donruss packs, 2- 1986 Donruss racks.

 

[trauty]

6 -1985 Topps rack packs (I also received a pack with Mark McGwire on top that I didn't open but the other 6 were absolutely horrible), 6-1985 Donruss, 11-1987 Fleer Rack packs (unfortunately all three of these have dings on either a corner or the side of the card)

 

[trauty]

9 - 1997 Pinnacle Totally Certified (ouch, and no stars from the red base cards either). 2 packs 2001 Leaf Limited -- nothing worth scanning.

I still have 2 1982 Topps rack packs and 4 packs of 2001 Fleer Greats of the Game that I'll open tomorrow. Yikes

 

[Bill Menard]

Where are the GOTG Autos???!!!

Where are the GOTG Autos???!!!

I posted one

 

[Bill Menard]

I think they are 1:6 and we've seen Bunning and Cey. So I guess I'm wondering where the other two are.

Oh - I see Andy still has some packs that he will open tomorrow. Good luck man! I hope you have them both.

I posted one
