PackGeek
Hey guys,
I'm new to the boards here - so I wanted to say hello. I'm also super excited you guys have a forum specifically for box/pack breaks. I love busting 70's and 80's wax. I just put together a website to share my pack break videos with other collectors. If you're interested at all it's: PackGeek.com I just tore into several '75 Topps mini packs, as well as some '84 Donruss and '89 Score Football. I love hunting for HOF rookie cards. Every pack of old wax is like a poor man's treasure hunt for me - hence the name "Pack Geek".
Anyhow, thanks for letting me share guys and good luck with all of your own rips.
Sincerely,
JeffLast edited by Big80s; 08-08-2010 at 12:14 PM.

Anybody else opening anything other than new stuff here? I'm about to bust some early 80's racks and hopefully some vending. Any takers?

Thanks for sharing guys!
Jax: How did the '81 Topps look? I love the Topps cards from that year - no big rookies, but tons of great HOF cards (and a Henderson 2nd year).
44: I remember when I was a little kid collecting - those '84 Donruss were THE packs to buy. They were way more expensive than the other packs from '84 and '85, but that Mattingly rookie was already iconic.

I started buying baseball cards (I don't know if I'd call it collecting because I was 7 and I played with them) in 1986. I quit in the early 1990's after things started to get a little ridiculous. I recently just picked collecting back up and I'm mostly focused on set building. I've been considering doing some vintage, but I just haven't figured out which product I want to start with.
Love the breaks... Just something special about pulling 20 or 30 year old cards out of packs.

DCart: I have a similar story. Started collecting/buying back in '85, stopped collecting around '92 and have just started getting back into it the last few years. There's definitely a part of my childhood attached to the hobby, and it almost therapeutic to see some of those old cards from my past again. Thanks for your reply!
