I just had to sit here and relive the glory…I am so glad you were rewarded with 6 Luke #1’s for cracking open that old treasure chest
I cannot believe you got 6 Luke #1’s in a box. Back in the late 90’s i purchased one unopened box each of series 1-4. Series 1 blue was $400, the rest were $300 each. a LOT of money for these at the time & i remember everyone thought i was absolutely insane for spending that much. they were not wrapped, just from a trusted hobby shop. What’s weird is that I only got 1 Luke, 1 Leia, 1 Ben, etc. i put them in a binder & there they sat until 2021. i sent in my favorite ten cards to PSA as a test run having never graded before and not really having a clue what i was doing. Luke came back 8.5, Leia 9, Vader 9 etc. most were 8’s, a couple 7’s. your cards in my opinion were undergraded. and now im questioning if my packs were searched having only gotten one luke.
It at least was called “off registered” when the printing didn’t line up. Back when these were printed, it was extremely rare to get something lined up correctly. I just found the channel so it’s fun watching the openings!
This “is” the video you’re looking for. This whole series has been awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jason! Haha! If only for quality audio editing 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. I WILL go back and fix this. I appreciate you watching!
Congrats on your return! All in all, you did very well and the fact that you pulled all of those makes it even sweeter. Thanks for the tour of your new construction. I can't wait to see another one, post completion. Very exciting!
Great content as always! May the Saga continue...
I appreciate the well wishes. I’m looking forward to the future too… much to be thankful for. Health, family, cinstruction, and some good ol fashioned money/time taking hobbies. Thanks Keith!
Thanks for all the videos of your journey. I’m torn on if they make me want to open packs or not open packs. Very bittersweet.
Ha!! I would understand either way! If you have expectations of 10’s, then let me be a sobering reality. If the notion of opening old packs seems fun, let me tell you it is! It doesn’t come cheap though 😳. I think I am now turning my sights on to completing sets with nice protected slabs of grades, eight or higher. So… still plenty of opening packs, I must do…. maybe at a slower rate though. At least until the con$t ruction is done 😬. Thanks William!
Not good stuff….this is great stuff!
I love your videos there so amazing and I'm glad to watch someone that has the same love for starwars like i do keep up the amazing videos mate
Amazing stuff! New sub here - I recently found my series 1 1977 complete set (along with the other series in-completes) from when I was 10 in 1977 and have been educating myself on grading, whether to submit etc along with collecting cards in general post 2020 "boom" -- thanks for doing this! Enjoy the new addition -- looks like it will be great! (minor MCM collector here -- eames, takeshi nii, knoll/steelcase) -- cheers!
I feel like a jerk for not having said thanks by now… but thanks for watching! I’m glad you found your old cards (5 months ago 😕). I still enjoy updating and bettering (probably not a word) my collection. I will be opening another box of Series 5 here in a week or so, so try to finish off the 330 full original series collection. Then it’s just a matter of getting the grades I want as the years roll on. 😬. Thanks again’
Nice addition to the home too man! Looking good brother!!
Thanks!! Very excited
Looks like the centering they hit you hard. Pretty neat the sequence on majority of the Luke's. Great video 1st time watching channel.
Over the weekend I found 2 series 1 packs at a local card show..bought them both and thought the packs looked resealed/funky…boy was I wrong! Pulled a realllllly nice Luke! It’s at psa now I should have it back in 7-10 days video to come!
Holy crap! Worth the gamble for sure, it turned out! We’re the prices of the packs outrageous? Or really cheap, which would make you even more Leary of it having been gone through? Congratulations! You gotta let me know what happens!
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 $90 each I’ll let you know for sure I opened the first pack and was just questioning the authenticity as the cards in it had really bad corners. Stopped the video opened the second pack and bam reaaaaaly nice Luke 😂
@@pocketsfullofwax4238 ha! So typical… awesome though! Nothing like pulling a Luke from a pack!! Not many can say they’ve done it!
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 glad I took a card from the fella he found 3 more series 1 sealed packs I’m getting from him tomorrow! I’d love to send you 1 to open on your channel!
The last one does have some marks on it and can see why. you will never get a mint condition of Number one of the series , 1977 star wars 1 Luke Skywalker - most used
card of the series , still they are all in that you showed in very good condition..
This was a good learning video no. doubt
Thanks! I agree with you… in hindsight sight, I’m pleased with how they came back. Everyone of course, has visions of grandeur… that maybe theirs will somehow come back a really high grade. But I get it now. Thanks for watching!
I would be tempted to resubmit those 6’s at the very least
Whoa ... That's kinda rough man .... 3 6's 3 7's no 8's .... Man!!! These were fresh out of the packs too .... Man, I feel for you man, Have a great day/weekend!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Yah… believe me I know…. weird to think that the grades could be this low for cards straight out of the box. I feel pretty confident I didn’t do any extra damage to them either…. I do think the standard is pretty high for these Luke’s. My chin is up though… The 76 other series, one cards are in the assembly process after passing grading right now… So we will see how those turn out. Big time. Fingers crossed, of course.
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 Good luck man, you deserve some 9's and 10's for sure brother! Thanks again for sharing!
They're held to the same standard as modern cards, which is why PSA grade harshly. Case fresh these were full of defects in comparison to today's cards. I guess it really highlights how incredibly difficult it is to pull a 10 in this set. Thanks again, really enjoyed the journey, thanks for sharing it with us and looking forward to more breaks. cheers!!
Thank you very much sir! And yah… it must be (held to the same standard as modern cards). This would answer why the grades are lower. Makes total sense. Have a great one, and thanks for watching 👍🏻
i dont even remember how many of those i had back then...i had thousands of Star Wars cards...oh well...
Looks like the new addition isn't "fully operational" but soon, will take over the galaxy! Great video, fun intro, always cool to hear your thoughts and all the ups and downs of doing this stuff! I really thought you'd pull one 8 from these, but they're very pretty looking either way! I agree with you that if these were 6 random cards of, oh let's say #36 "Blast of the laser rifle"!...you probably would've gotten a 8. I'm sure the graders that get to grade these things are true Star Wars fans and treat these babies with a higher scrutiny. It is kind of the holy grail of non-sports cards! Hey, at least they didn't notice any of your alterations this time!! 😆 Good luck with the house and I'm hoping you choose to make some more content when you have time! If I feel a disturbance...I'll know you're about to post!
Hahaha! Hil-frickin-arious! 🤣🤣. Yah what chumps they! Not one thing did they catch. I used some straight up Papermate whiteout on Luke stormtrooper outfit on one of the cards. I guess practice makes perfect.
I have my Series 4 return on stage 7 of the PSA lifecycle of grading. …and the 76 Series 1 cards are in assembly as we speak. Some stuff should be coming soonish. Thanks so much as always 💪🏼
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 Haaa!! Good stuff! It’ll be fun to see those returns. Seems like the series 1 is moving along nicely! My last 1977 sub took exactly 4 months!
What a fun experiment!
Thank you! It was!
Lol I guess wishful thinking on my 48 score and can’t wait to see your next adventure and can’t wait to see your card room
Aim high right!? 😬
Great to see them back. I was really hoping for at least one eight for you. But seven is still a great grade and nice cards!
Thank you thank you Martin! Me too… I have since, gone and purchased an 8 on eBay. I will sell a couple cards to recoup the damage. It would’ve been much more fun and meaningful to have pulled at myself… but this will have to do. 🤷🏻♂️😬
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 just crack all those cases open and resend them in. Keep doing it over and over until you reach a 41 points in total. That way you win and I win as well with my prediction! :)
@@MartinvanZ 🤔. I like it! …I’m’ll get to crackin’ then!
Where did you buy the clear plactic display boxes for the wax boxes in the background? Thanks.
Here is my video that I made on where to buy them. I still, totally recommend them. Worth the wait! Here’s the link to the video: ruclips.net/video/ulWbbR5pCew/видео.htmlsi=qhAHIvjP7Z6cogVf
Thank You.@@e-dubrippinstuff9820
Some tough grades on a few! Great opening graphics!
Thank you! Sorry for the Bonehead move on the audio for that minute and a half 🤦🏼♂️😖. I’m going to see if I can republish without it losing comments or anything. Still altogether fun. Gotta do it again… now that I felt the high of opening Series 1 😳😬
Thanks again for sharing all your openings and good luck on your addition and remodle. I can relate to the construction as I've done it for over 35 years. Its gonna be nice when finished.
You need to get some glass showcases for that mancave as everyone that comes to my home and enter what my daughters friends call the museum lol
I know! I will have a lot of fun trying to outfit it in the most visually appealing way. Definitely one of the big fun parts of this construction. Thanks Tony!
I have what other wish they had
Still not bad considering the centering issues...the last one I see as an 8...might send that back in and hope for a good grader
I actually might…. I have now accrued quite a few that I would like to crack and resend him. Would make for a fun video, I think.
Just subscribed as well
Your predictions are fine, PSA probably putting way less effort into looking at them than you did. If they spent more than 30 seconds looking at a card I would be shocked.
DENIED!!! That last card should have pulled an 8!
Agreed I call for a resubmit on that one totally an 8!
Me too! Was totally feeling it… even though I wasn’t saying it…. dayum 😕
Woo hoo. I won. Let me know how to get you my info. Also I changed my Handle from John boehm to JB trading cards. As a fyi. Not sure if I was first or second with my guess of 39. Either card is awesome. As this is my next set I am putting together. Already have series 1. 1-66. At a 8 or better.
Awesome John!! According to the data, it shows you were the first! You can pick which one you want. Just tell me an email address that I can contact you on, and I will get your address from there 👍🏻. I’ll be watching the comments pretty closely, so when I see your email address appear, I can jot it down and then erase your comment. I’m hoping that works at least.
Awesome about the timing of your Wonderbread set. This should work out well. Thanks John
Did you get my email?
@@JB_Trading_Cards no…. Where did you put it?
@@JB_Trading_Cards can you try again here?
@@JB_Trading_Cards still haven’t seen it ☹️
Very nice man! So close on my 40! Excited for you on that new addition looking pretty sweet so far! What’s the little area by the staircase going to be or how will that finish out? I am a general contractor so I enjoyed that little snippet on the end there!
Oh cool! General contractor huh?! Nice. Yah, that little area, is not set in stone, but is definitely a quirky little spot. Maybe from a spot for a classic standup arcade machine, a simple sitting spot with a chair (nice with all the windows), but ultimately might be the hallway to further built areas/rooms 😬. Who knows as of this moment. But! It is a game room/TV area, so a pinpall machine or arcade game might be fitting 🤞🏻. Thanks for asking!
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 of course very cool! Excited to see it finished and continue to watch your content!
Your Star Wars “Opening Crawl” with John Williams’s main theme music blaring to start this video was awesome! Man, you’re so creative! The Luke #1 flying overhead followed by the text describing your journey was perfect.
You ended up with some real nice 7’s and 6’s. I think your comment at 19:42 about PSA graders “holding a premium…on centering” is accurate. Seems that the current vintage PSA graders are fixating more on centering criteria rather than the surface, edges, and corner criteria.
Thanks for sharing your new home addition work that’s in progress. Look forward to seeing your new hobby storage/RUclips channel room!
Yay! I’m the co-winner. It’s cool that you turned this into a contest with nice PSA 9 Wonder Bread card prizes. Thank you! Didn’t expect this. Very generous of you to do this for your followers. Looking back on the previous video where we made our guesses, when clicking “Newest” comments, appears John made the first comment of any in that video, so he would get first choice.
Thank you for the compliments… although, I’m mortified about that minute and a half of double audio. How lazy/careless of me 🤦🏼♂️😖. I’m going to have to see about possibly re-publishing the video as long as it doesn’t hurt any sort of comments and data around the original version. Whatta dingdong.
I’m happy to send the card your way… I will email you after I hear from John, and which card he chooses. Another check in your column for “knowing your stuff”. Very impressive.
Thank you so much!
I tried to email. Let me know if you got it 👍🏻
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 yes, got it. Replied to you. Thanks
These are great vids, E-Dub. This grader was tough of these Lukes. Just an observation, but I think PSA (and all grading companies) grade key cards harsher. Possibly because they have more examples to compare against or possibly because they want to keep some degree of rarity of key cards. So, to get a high grade Luke RC, you really need to earn it. As opposed to a similar looking card of a lesser character or lesser scene. I'm curious if anyone here may think the same.
Yep yep and yep Derek… it will definitely make me appreciate my 10 more when I get it. Not that I wouldn’t have appreciated it this time. 😬. You’re totally right though.
Nice man, wow you got these back fast!!!! There is something going on with the voice man, sounds like two different recordings on the same video!!! Peace man!!
Thanks TuPack…. I am mortified that I had that minute and a half of messed up audio. I’m going to go ahead and see if I can re-publish it, and hopefully not lose any of the data and comments from you guys. I’ve never tried to do that before.
Yah! I tell you what… If you pay more than the bulk rate prices, the cards come back pretty darn quick.
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 Nice, don't worry about the audio man, things happen, great video regardless!!!! Peace brother!
Very cool with the first two 7s... the first and 3rd 6s were skewed and whatever the thinnest part of the border measures will probably determine the max grade they could give on those... I was happy to be wrong on the grades -congrats!... also, happy to trade you a few graded cards for one of the 7s if we can match up...
Well possibly! You don’t have any new labeled Series 1 PSA 8/9 of the following cards do you (19,23,27,53,54)?
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 I do but not duplicates of those #s to trade... I was just assuming that you would wait until all the rest of the 1st series cards you sent to PSA come back?
@@kenrogers1948 now yes! the LAST thing in the world I should do at this point, is assume I will get all 8’s and 9’s!! Ha! So yes… I’m sure we can match on something later 👍🏻👍🏻
Ever thought about sending a small sample to CGC and not because I usually bash PSA (I’m not a PSA hater btw!) but it would be interesting to see the grades, the better centred cards of course, but the blue label and clearer slab might look quality. I also believe they grade vintage less harsh than modern which doesn’t always seem the case with your reveals.
I never really have… I like to stay consistent with my collections. I guess I’m weird like that. I have no doubt you’re right… but since Instarted with PSA, I know me, and I’ll pretty always stick with what I started with. 🤷🏻♂️. Thanks for watching!
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 yeah totally get that 👍
Anyone else getting double audio, I can hear two different audio tracks on the vid, kinda confused.
Yes I get double audio also. I thought I was tripping lol
Yes! Ugh…. I’m mortified…. I’m hoping I can re-publish the video without losing all the comments and everything… What a dingdong I am. Thanks for mentioning it though!
I think it's only the first 10 minutes or so, those PSA grades were pretty mean, be great if they explained why it got the grade.
Show the stickers to that card deck & value
If the card was rated 9 or 10, does it sell relatively easily? How about a 6 or 7?
Um, that’s a YES! All the Luke #1’s sell quickly… and for decent return too. Absolutely
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 Where do you recommend selling them? Ebay?
I'm so mad. I just started looking at card values and I have this card and its the absolute worst one in my whole collection. some of my cards re MINT, this one has multiple creases.
I think you had an 8 in there. Too bad PSA has to be so stingy on key cards
First Commenter... what do I win?!?!
Aye Ken!! Thanks for being here! I’m mortified that the audio is jacked on thi at minute and half of the video 🤦🏼♂️. I’ll probably be saying this a million times on here…. I wonder if I can republish the video with the audio fixed… without it remove my all the data…. anyway. Thanks Ken! And “nothing”, you win “nothing” 😬😂
@@e-dubrippinstuff9820 Seem to be a fair number of vids on how to use RUclips Video Editor to avoid losing the likes, comments and views...
Good video, I think, but WHY are you talking over yourself?
