1964 Topps Giants

[TheNightmanCometh]

I’m having a convo with my Dad and we were both wondering if these cards came factory sealed. Thanks.

They initially came in packs, and then years later in envelopes of 25 for $1 at Dodger Stadium.

Thank you! I bought an Aaron that was packaged in a cellophane and it had me curious.

I've never seen or heard of a cello or rack pack for this set, but it's possible it was a repackage from vending, like the envelopes.

Ya, it was cello’d with cardboard inside, and my mind didn’t consider that they’d be packaged in Topps packaging. Just thought it wasn’t something that was considered back then, but I was very wrong. The only logical conclusion after that was that the seller did it.

and also I recall a massive hoard of them uncovered in the... 80's ? ??

I almost completed the set from those packs at Dodger Stadium...I think it was either 1971 or 72. Took me until the early 80's (remember, this was pre-internet) to find a local card shop that had the Mays and the Koufax (in vg condition but nowhere near as nice as the others). Found both later in NM at the National and upgraded. Still love that set.

One of my favorite sets.
