Repacked Wax - Just The 70's Third Edition (Part 2)

 

Last post I showed you the first half of the box...if you have low expectations it wasn't too terrible. Very Swing and a Pop-Upish (no hits). Let's check out the second half of the box, shall we?

Pack 7


1979 Topps Graig Nettles
1977 Topps Bruce Dal Canton
1977 Topps Rennie Stennett
1974 Topps Bob Gallagher
1975 Topps Dick Pole
1978 Topps Tom Veryzer
1977 Topps Texas Rangers Team Card
1973 Topps Frank Robinson
1979 Topps Dell Alston

Either I misplaced a card or there were only 9 cards in this pack. The 1973 Frank Robinson is one of the better cards pulled.

Pack 8


1974 Topps Bud Harrelson
1977 Topps Mike Cubbage
1979 Kellogg's Mario Guerrero
1978 Topps Jerry Reuss
1976 Topps Richie Zisk
1971 Topps Gene Michael
1978 Topps Cecil Cooper
1979 Topps Checklist 243 - 363
1973 Topps Del Unser
1975 Topps Steve Arlin

Another Kellogg's card!

Pack 9


1977 Topps Rowland Office
1973 Topps Thurman Munson
1978 Topps John Scott
1979 Topps Jeff Newman
1970 Topps Richie Scheinblum
1979 Topps Ray Burris
1978 Yopps John Lowenstein
1974 Topps Steve Barber
1970 Topps Jim French 
1973 Topps Duane Sims

The 1973 Thurman Munson might be the best card pulled now.

Pack 10


1977 Topps Mark Belanger
1976 Topps Father & Son - Big Leaguers Roy Smalley/Roy Smalley, Jr.
1970 Topps Bobby Bonds
1978 Topps Nino Espinoza
1975 Topps Lee Richards
1974 Topps Sonny Jackson
1979 Milwaukee Brewers Prospects Kevin Bass/Eddie Romero/Ned Yost
1979 Topps New York Yankees Team Card
1978 Toronto Blue Jays Team Card
1976 Topps Dan Spillner

Nothing too exciting in that pack.

Pack 11


1973 Topps Bob Oliver
1975 Topps Bart Johnson
1979 Topps Mickey Lolich
1972 Topps Steve Luebber
1978 Topps Rusty Staub
1971 Topps Chicago Cubs Team Card
1976 Topps Bill Butler
1974 Topps Bob Tolan
1972 Topps Graig Nettles
1977 Topps Randy Hundley

Probably the 1971 Chicago Cubs team card is the best one here.

Pack 12


1976 Topps Andy Messersmith
1978 Topps Brent Strom
1977 Topps Rookies Bob Bailor/Kiko Garcia/Craig Reynolds/Alex Taveras
1974 Topps George Hendrick
1980 Kellogg's Mike Flanagan
1971 Topps Russ Snyder
1977 Topps Paul Hartzell
1974 Topps New York Yankees Team Card
1978 Topps Rance Mulliniks
1975 Topps 1963 Most Valuable Players Elston Howard/Sandy Koufax

The third Kellogg's card!


Here's the breakdown:

1970 Topps - 4 cards
1971 Topps - 8 cards
1972 Topps - 4 cards
1973 Topps - 9 cards
1974 Topps - 13 cards
1975 Topps - 11 cards
1976 Topps - 11 cards
1977 Topps - 19 cards
1978 Topps - 19 cards
1979 Kellogg's  - 2 cards
1979 Topps - 18 cards
1980 Kellogg's - 1 card

So it's a lot like the last box of this I bought...most of the cards were from the tail end of the decade. Most of the cards were in pretty decent condition with the standard types of wear. No PSA10s here nor was I expecting any. This box was probably a little bit better than the first one I bought although I still haven't hit any really big cards in any of these.

I enjoyed opening (oops. I mean ripping...gotta stay current with the sportscard jargon) this box and I hope you enjoyed finding out what was in one of them. Thanks for reading!

Repacked Wax - Just The 70's Third Edition (Part 1)


So....I tried it again. I love opening these kinds of boxes even though the return is (for me) never anywhere near what you pay for it. (Eventually I'm going to expect thank you's from the other people that buy these types of things for ensuring that there is at least 1 less dud box out there.) 

Occasionally I will post about the boxes of commons that I get for less than 10 bucks. So did I just buy a $143.99 box of commons? Let's find out!

Pack 1


1974 Topps Bob Miller
1977 Topps Tom Veryzer
1979 Kellogg's Ken Griffey
1978 Topps Don Kirkwood
1976 Topps Tito Fuentes
1971 Topps Paul Schaal
1979 Topps Jerry Augustine
1973 Topps Manny Sanguillen 
1978 Topps Bobby Bonds
1975 Topps Woodie Fryman

Cards are in decent shape (although the airbrushing job on the 1974 Bob Miller is terrible)...and a Kellogg's card right off the bat.

Pack 2


1978 Topps Jerry Morales 
1977 Topps Big League Brothers Paul Reuschel/Rick Reuschel 
1979 Topps Merv Rettenmund
1979 Topps Record Breaker Pete Rose
1976 Topps Gary Carter
1974 Topps Roy White
1971 Topps American League Home Run Leaders Frank Howard/Harmon Killebrew/Carl Yastrzemski 
1977 Topps Jim Slaton
1975 Topps Ted Kubiak
1976 Topps Juan Beniquez

A few decent ones here...Gary Carter 2nd year, 1971 AL Home Run Leaders, 1979 Pete Rose Record Breaker.

Pack 3


1978 Topps Doug Bird
1977 Topps Andres Mora
1979 Topps Dennis Eckersley
1979 Topps Steve Kemp
1976 Topps Bob Robertson
1974 Topps Tom Paciorek (I love hearing the YouTubers try to pronounce his last name)
1971 Topps Von Joshua
1977 Topps Nelson Briles
1975 Topps Rick Stelmaszek
1976 Topps Mark Belanger

Pack 4


1972 Topps Harry Walker
1973 Topps Dal Maxvill
1975 Topps Catfish Hunter
1979 Topps Butch Wynegar
1977 Topps Bill Plummer
1977 Topps Graig Nettles 
1979 Topps Mike Jorgenson 
1971 Topps Baltimore Orioles World Champions
1974 Topps Paul Splittorff
1978 Topps Adrian Devine

The 1975 Catfish Hunter was probably the best card out of that.

Pack 5



1978 Topps Jackson Todd
1976 Topps Bruce Kison
1975 Topps Gene Clines
1979 Topps Sal Bando
1977 Topps Stan Bahnsen
1971 Topps Alan Gallagher
1974 Topps Willie McCovey
1978 Topps Willie Hernandez
1977 Topps Len Randle
1973 Topps Mike Corkins

The 1974 Willie McCovey is easily the best card in that pack.

Pack 6


1978 Topps Milwaukee Brewers Team Card
1977 Topps Turn Back The Clock Ralph Kiner
1973 Topps Wes Parker
1978 Topps Charlie Hough
1974 Topps Steve Mingori
1970 Topps Aurelio Rodriguez 
1975 Topps Hank Aaron
1979 Topps Charlie Hough
1972 Topps Richie Scheinblum
1979 Topps Detroit Tigers Prospects Dave Stegman/Dave Tobik/Kip Young

The 1975 Hank Aaron has been the best pull so far.

So far pretty much what I expected. The next 6 packs coming up!

It's Not Always About The Hits IX

It snowed out pretty much all day yesterday. Not much accumulation but just messy roads. My wife took our "new to us" car out last night and reported back that it handles well in inclement weather. No snow today, just plenty of rain as it will be in the 50's. 

I just got back from having blood work done which is definitely one of my least favorite things to do. So after that "traumatic" experience, I can't think of anything better to do than sort through a box of "commons" that I got for 10 bucks. Even with all this inflation, you can still find cheap cards.

1996 - 97 Topps Finest Basketball - 85 cards.


2004 - 05 Fleer Hoops Basketball - 31 cards.


2020 Topps Heritage Baseball - 151 cards.


1994 - 95 Score Select Hockey - 62 cards.


1994 Topps Stadium Club Baseball - 17 cards.


A couple of older cards.


2019 Topps Allen & Ginter Baseball - 124 cards. There were only a few base cards as it was mostly insert cards and a few minis.


More assorted baseball cards. 


2019 Topps Heritage High Numbers Baseball - 59 cards.


1997 - 98 Skybox Ex 2001 - 4 cards. These cards are really cool.


1997 - 98 Bowman's Best Basketball - 85 cards.


1999 - 00 Bowman's Best Basketball - 32 cards.


1995 - 96 Upper Deck Basketball - 167 cards.


1998 - 99 Bowman's Best Basketball - 44 cards.


1997 - 98 Fleer Metal Basketball - 52 cards.


1995 - 96 Topps Finest Basketball - 9 cards.


1995 - 96 Skybox E-XL Basketball - 29 cards.


1995 - 96 Topps Gallery Basketball - 51 cards.


1999 - 2000 Skybox E - X Basketball - 41 cards.


1996 - 97 Pacific Power Basketball - 13 cards.


1995 - 96 Skybox Hoops Basketball - 34 cards.


1996 - 97 Score Board Rookies Basketball - 15 cards.


1997 - 98 Upper Deck Basketball - 21 cards.


2019 Topps Update Baseball - 59 cards.


2019 Panini Diamond Kings Baseball - 36 cards.


2019 Donruss Baseball - 10 cards.


2019 Topps Archives Baseball - 21 cards.

This batch also had plenty of basketball, but I wasn't collecting in the mid to late 90's so I don't have any of these. In my mind, we'll worth the 10 bucks.

See you next time!
