07/08 Topps RIP-CARD question

[No1RiceGuy]

What exactly are these things? If a person was to rip one, what are you looking for?

I pulled one the other day and curious to know what they are.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Mike

Hey Mike, I don't know much about Football and Baseball but they have rip cards in Basketball. For basketball you rip the back of the card to get a mini card inside. Generally the mini cards are worth much less then the card un-ripped. HOWEVER, there is a possibility of getting a rare auto inside. If you like gambling with odds worse then lotto tickets rip it.

LOL..... Thanks for the info. Not sure if Football or Baseball do these things, this was in a basketball box

Any idea the bv of thsi card? Before I rip it........

Majic Johnson, Chauncey Billups, Dwyane Wade Card # RIP-40

P.S. I'm a gambler.... probably rip-it (depending on the bv)

I would buy or trade you for it. I'm trying to complete the unripped set only have two out of the 40 though. BV is probably $40 for commons, but it's not listed, the Erving/James/Wilkins is 60 and the Johnson/Thomas/Stockton is 50. Good luck if you rip it. If not I would buy it...don't have a ton to trade as I just got started back into collectin.
