That's how I pulled my Jordan Rookie (From a pack in 1993), it's the best way to know it's 100% genuine

FB rating 3... Dunno if buyer will get burnt

That wont get busted unless the buyer is cashed up looking for a high grade Jordan but the risk is simply too high. GAI grade the condition of the wrapper and can in no way say that the cards are of grade 10 at all. Its simply speculation and guesswork about that. Keep it sealed I say as more and more get busted open.

I'd never buy a non graded pack of this anymore. I used to bust it but that was back in 87 ;-)

if the gradings of the packaging is simply guesswork then why is it you'd only buy graded packs of these?
*please excuse my ignorance* :roll:

I think the "guesswork" Chad was referring to was the condition of the cards contained with pack. The pack/wrapper is the only thing being graded...

 

[chadjaja]

All stars is spot on. That and they grade the wax seal for tampering etc. If its been resealed or thought to of have been then it does't get graded. You are buying the grade and piece of mind

i figured as much, but i thought i'd check with the experts

It cost me $70 dude....it was a BIG risk but I bought two and got a Jordan in one and a Olujawon in the other Also pulled a Jordan 92/93 Fleer Total D from the same shop but I sold that when the Jordan Cards hit their peak

I got it from a shop in Penrith......I can't remember the name (May have been Card Master ?) but they were located in a corner shop at the top end of the High Street Mall (near the traffic lights)........I used to have a bit of fun busting there back in the day I remember they were the guys who showed me the trick to pulling a 92/93 Fleer Total D insert so I tried it when they busted a new box two weeks later and I got one in each pack and the Jordan was in the second pack !

So you used to search packs Richo??

Looking at the sellers feedback, a DVD and a signed Eels jersey. And Now a GAI10 8687 Fleer pack? I dunno... id ask for more pics before bidding.

Umm......back in the day - Yeah sort of........remember the 92/93 Fleer Jumbo Box trick.....each insert was in the same spot. So if you found one two deep they would all be two deep ect ect

Apologies and sorry for anyone that bought packs from CardMaster back in the day and wondered why they never pulled anything good [-X

 

[Richo]

Dude.....lol it was only the 92/93 Fleer Jumbo boxes I got to search

And i am not even sure if they were called Card Masters

 

[Trey]

were they the packs that you could see through also?

 

[Richo]

No, a new box was busted and I was not allowed to search it, they let me pick the two packs I wanted though

I have NEVER got close to a pull like that again.......you could say it Jinxed me

 

[lockymac]

I think the pack searching Gods have given you bad karma Richo
I'm think that Richo needs to go on a 'My name is Earl' journey and find some 11 year old who did a paper round to save money to buy some packs from CardMaster and give him a Total D insert!

 

[Matt26]

Richo,
the shop was called the Card Shaq and now I know why I never pulled any decent cards there!

Was a great shop, a bit expensive (double beckett for singles) but worth a visit every week or so to pick up some fleer jumbo packs trying to get the Tower Of Power cards....

Cheers
