Default 1951 Topps Red Back Pack Opening

A couple of months ago I bought an unopened pack of 51 Topps. My son and I opened it up this afternoon, and here's a video.

Not the greatest results, but we had fun!

Mike--thanks for sharing. I just can not bring myself to open old packs. For me the mystery of what could be in there seems preferable to what likely is in there.

Are you and your son collecting the set ?

I can't tell if the Stephens has a a dingier back vs. the whiter back of the other card but if so it, it just confirms my thoughts of Topps reissung these in 1952 in these packs and co-mingling returns or unsold product with both Red Back press runs possible in the same pack.

Caramel in 1951 when issued as Baseball Candy. No confection at all for the Doubles rewrap/reissue on 1952 as Topps was trying to skirt Bowman's exclusive on cards with candy/gum in the packs.
