Anybody else working on the 07/08 Topps Rip Case cards (and minis)

[richard233]

Hi,
I've been working on RIP cards from 2007/08 Topps.
I'm collecting both the unopened cards as well as the Mini that are
found inside.

I'm wondering if anyone else is working on these sets. I'm interested
in buying/trading for these.

I really only need RIP cards 6,11,14,15,21,24,25,30,34,35 and 39
The minis I need are Clyde Drexler, David Robinson, Julius Erving, Larry Bird
and Pete Maravich.

I have many duplicates of the RIP cards and minis, including some red ink autos. I also know another collector who is working on the RIP cards so I
can put you in contact with him if he needs your dups. He's not working
on the minis though.

That's a great set to work on.

Good idea!

So, does this mean you are going to work on it? :-)

I looked at the current Beckett Basketball Guide.
They say the Mini Bird had dropped to $25.
Well, I'd love to get it at full guide. I have seen only one
on Ebay since the product came out and I have yet to see
a Maravich.

Anybody know anyone who has these for sale or otherwise?

Well, I've started working on this years set too.
Lots easier as I'm starting as they come out instead of after a few weeks.
I already have about 2/3 of the #'d 99 ones.
Which brings up a small complaint of sorts.
They are now making the rip cards in 99,25, and 10 varieties.
I will do the #'d 99, but the other 2 are not all that realistic to work on.
OK, maybe the 25 would be doable, but the demand on a few of the guys
for the one #'d to 10 should put it well out of reach of most people.

Well, almost done with both sets, but it's still darned hard to find a lot of the cards.

Thanks, but I have the Ming and I'm not working on the ripped cards themselves, just the unripped "common" version #'d to 99.
