Buzz 12 in 12: Busting 1978 Topps 'Three's Company' (Hour 6)

This entry was posted on January 24, 2019 by BlowoutBuzz.

Do you like Buzz Breaks? Today's your day then as we launch 12 in 12 -- a series of a dozen breaks of past wax boxes in a dozen hours. We'll post one every hour on the hour all day long today ... and this is Hour 6.

The packs: 1978 Topps Three's Company (three packs)
The cost: Varies when found -- get new non-sports cards here

What's inside this pack? Keep reading ...

Cards per pack: 6 (five stickers, one puzzle card -- all in gallery below)
Base set completion: 15 of 44 (34 percent)
Duplicates: 0

Inserts: 1
Puzzle (3) -- Chrissy Snow (Suzanne Somers) and complete puzzle card

Autographs/Memorabilia: Of course not.

What's Buzz-worthy: I ripped a single pack of these awhile back and decided I wanted to come knocking on the door one more time with the idea of maybe finding a high-grade card showing all three main characters to submit for grading. (Why? For fun, though 10s can sell well.) I'm not sure that happened here -- see the gallery for one definitely vintage corner cut -- but I didn't land a single duplicate. These aren't that rare in singles form and packs aren't that expensive -- less than $5 for three packs here though you can probably find the set for not much more than that -- so this was a low-risk rip to see if anything stood out for subjects in top condition. ... As said before, the tales of Jack Tripper, Janet Wood and Chrissy Snow remain ageless and this simple product is one that totally follows a super-simple template -- albeit one where the stickers are the cards and vice versa -- that works.

Product Grade: A
Lot Grade: A-
Fun Grade: A
