So I gambled, bought an unopened 1985 Topps rack pack on eBay with the McGwire card showing on the back for $37. Luckily, of all the cards on top of it that were slightly off center, this one seemed mint. Carefully took it out of the pack and threw it in a card saver and sent it to PSA the next day. Just got the grading notification earlier. Not a bad gamble/luck I'd say! Gem Mint 10! I see them going for anywhere between $300-600 on eBay and some listed higher (one listed now for $899 with 13 watchers). What's the average going rate for one of these nowadays? Wondering if I should keep it and add to the collection or sell it and pick up some prime cards like Derek Jeter rookie cards (the 1994 SP foil) or a bunch of limited number 2015 Jeter refractors.
Also bought a 1984 Donruss rack pack and a 1984 Topps rack pack with the Mattingly rookie showing, but those didn't grade as high as I wanted.
1984 Donruss Darryl Strawberry RC - PSA 8
1984 Donruss Greg Gagne RC - PSA 9 OC (figures)
1984 Donruss Ron Darling RC no # on back - PSA 8
1984 Topps Don Mattingly RC - PSA 8 (very upset it wasn't a 9 or 10. Really thought I had it)
