Topps Vintage Cards in 2006 Rack Packs

[free rvd]

I was wondering if people could post what kind of vintage Topps cards they've pulled from the 2006 Topps Rack Packs. Any sport is fine with me.

I was just curious if this gimmick by them is actually something worthwhile. I don't have any vintage cards, so this sounds cool to me. If they actually put somewhat decent vintage cards in them, I might pick up a few baseball and football rack pack boxes.

the cards are always mint but I've gotten some of the lamest stuff 81 topps football commons.

On the baseball end of things I've noticed rack packs containing cards circa '87-'91, which tells me that you probably have to get pretty lucky to pull something truly exciting.

The best thing I "pulled" was an 89 topps Deion Sanders RC - lol

As far as baseball i've got minor stars ranging from 1978 or 1979 to early 90's. For football I just got some 1986 Cardinals.

I got 1979 - 1988 Topps in baseball, nothing really special. I also got a 1989 Topps Traded Deion Sanders RC from football along with some random cards from 1976 - 1982. I only bought 1 or rack packs of basketball and got 81-82 Topps from and I think a 90-91 Patrick Ewing All-Star card.

Last year in football I got a Chris Carter rookie and a few commons from the 70's. But I found out that if you buy more than 1 rack pack from the same box you have a good chance of getting doubles/triples/etc.

In one rack pack I got the same common Vikings player from 1978 3 times.

I bought a box of 2006 Topps baseball rack packs and got these (mostly commons):

1977 (2 x Buck Martinez #46)
1983 (3)
1984 (8)
1985 (7)
1987 (4, including Don Mattingly #500)
1988 (7, including HOFer Eddie Murray #495)
1989 (15, including a Andre Dawson Record Breakers #4)
1990 (10)

Yikes, these sound pretty bad. I guess I won't be getting a box. Has Topps mentioned anything about pulling a big time card like a '52 Mantle or have they just kept quiet and are doing this to unload millions of commons laying around their warehouse?

I don't remember seeing anything listed with possible pulls or anything like that. There are only 3 "vintage" cards per rack pack with the rest of the 2006 cards (18 I think).
