I have to confess that if I saw them at goodwill for a few bucks I'd buy everyone they had. Maybe a losing lottery ticket but who knows.
Other than second and third and fourth hand knowledge, has anyone every bought one and taken it apart? After 500 posts on the subject over the years I still don't know if anyone knows a. are they all 100% counterfeit cards b. are they just repacked real cards and essentially fake retro items but in crappy shape c. or some mixture of fakes (rarer) and real (cheapos) Maybe I've missed it but I still have never seen that simple question definitively answered.

I bought a 58, haven't opened it. The cards showing are all real, and look pretty good as far as corners go. But have typical centering issues. There is a high number on the back, so it's not entirely junk.
Looking at the ones on Ebay, there's a few different types of packaging. I'd expect worse stuff from some of them, although I'd have to really study them to figure out which are fakes of the old repacks. |

I have been told the answer lies in the staples

So, just to be sure, all the cards were authentic though, right?

I have a 1961 one. I assume it's fake because when I purchased it - the guy "threw one in for free". (Total move to get a sucker to keep coming back I decided).
I sold the one I bought (broken even) and have the other one still. Can't decide whether to open it or just sell it for whatever I can get on Ebay and take a profit . So the analysis is opening it worth $75-100 on the off chance it is "real" (at least came from the 1960s/early 1970s)? Never been able to convince myself to open or sell it - so it just sits in a box! Cheers, Patrick

CW-- no red dots on the 67 Mantle.
We needed a sample of the staples to carbon date it Ben --- pretty sure the Puhl is there, better open it He should not have made so many cuts, makes it harder to reseal Last edited by ALR-bishop; 10-25-2017 at 08:47 PM. |
