Pack Break -- 1978 Topps

bziddy · 08-30-2008, 09:23 PM

LCS had 1978 Topps Wax...

#290 Willie Horton
#362 Dave May
#653 Ron Hodges
#414 Darold Knowles
#657 Bombo Rivera
#584 John Hale
#478 Jerry Remy
#391 Larry Haney
#571 Buck Martinez
#327 Rick Langford
#248 Frank White
#590 Bobby Murcer
#13 Art Howe

----
Now, the Art Howe card looks like it got chewed on when whatever machine was doing the packing did so back in '78. Do you think if I contact Topps about it they'll send me a replacement?

it would be interesting to see the type of response you would get.

It'd be worth it just for the letter you'd get back.

I can see it now... a guy going to the vault searching through stacks of 78 Topps looking for the pristine Howes they've kept for 30 years. Please, please, please post the response you get.

Tell them in your letter you would take an Eddie Murray or Paul Molitor if their supplies of Art Howe are depleted.

It would be a gag letter. It isn't any less reasonable than the nonsense we deal with on eBay. Friggin Brent got a negative because Brady Quinn wasn't included on a checklist.

I would love to see the reaction to this from Topps.

You should say the gum was stale too and you'd like a new stick of bazooka as well.
