Nagurski Card on Top of National Chicle Pack

[Steve_NY]

Yes, you heard right - I have just bought another National Chicle pack from 1935. This one I am almost certain has the Bronko Nagurski card on top. I studied all 36 cards and decided that the card could be either 34, 35 or 36.
But my conclusion is that based on what I see, it is Nagurski.

What would you do?

Grade the pack and leave it intact?

Open the pack and grade the card?

Just add it my inventory and showcase it as is.

I know there will be others who would say to “try and x-ray or CT scan it”. But in my opinion that is cheating and that’s not what our hobby is all about - except for those that see a way to make a quick buck.

There are also those that say it’s only a one card pack and you should be able to see the card through the wrapper, but that’s not always that easy / these are wrappers that are 90 years old - I can’t see the card through the majority of them even with a magnifying glass and good light.

But if you are an expert on packs and want to offer an opinion, I can send you a picture from my phone.

P.S. Could be one of the key finds in football card history - not likely another one will ever be found or exists in unopened pack form.
