Nah, I just find it entertaining how gullible some people are.

Yes, '81 Donruss did have horrible collation. I don't recall that it was 75% one player horrible, though.

The Clemente pulled from the pack graded a PSA 6.

Well, that is better than the 7 (PD) it SHOULD have gotten.

Amazing! People can draw their own conclusions about the guy and believe what they want to.

Anybody know him on a personal level? I'd like to send him an '88 Topps wax pack and see if he can pull a '52 Mantle for me :rolleyes:
Pulling a large quantity of a particular 1981 Donruss card actually is not that unusual. The collation from that brand & year was very poor. Some packs would have 2 or even 3 of the same card/player.

bobbyw8469 12-04-2015 08:46 PM
Has the guy ever lost on a pack, or does he strike gold on every single break?

begsu1013 12-09-2015 06:56 PM
just stating facts from the ripper:

apparently the pack fresh 6 has been sold and to another board member to help pay for med school bills. just stating what was posted.


who sells a clemente rc they just ripped outta a 60 year old pack...especially one w/ that centering?

Again why mention the reason for selling......if they need to sell in a day or so or have a specific timeframe they HAVE to sell it..maybe it would make sense..but spare me the reasons whether real or fake

I know I always gamble when money is tight. It's a winning combination on how to be even more broke.

You missed his thread where he bought one of those X-mas stocking with an unopened 52 pack, never took possession after authenticity called into question, and had Leland's resell it.

Doubt he would have pulled a Mantle out of that one, but you never know

begsu1013 12-10-2015 09:46 AM
ted,

i do remember that one! supposedly found in an ol pharmacy/general goods store with a letter signed by the old store owner or something...

was that the same guy?

i'm the eternal optimist and would root for anyone opening a 55 pack to pull 2 mays and a clemente, but if he's done it several times before (gretzky, etc) why would he not video the thing?
