I really love unopened packs- the graphics are typically really strong, they display really well, have the mystery of what is in there, and at least in my case the '70 thru '74 packs are really nostalgic. I'd love to see images of any that anyone has- here's a few of my favorites: |

Bob- I knew your resistance was weak! Was the Plak pack the one we called the truce on and you went for? It seemed like there was 3 or 4 that came up in a short period of time, and I figured I'd get the next one in a matter of months. Of course I haven't seen one since. |

I never really paid much mind to unopened packs. But you guys are changing my mind. I love the Williams' items. Bob, yours is from one of my favorite postwar sets. You're not tempted to look inside in search of #68? Anthony, I don't even want to know how they grade that authentic, but it sure caused me to stand up and take notice. |

How good are the grading services at detecting resealed packs? |

I don't have anything as nice/rare as Bob and Griffins but I do have a run of Topps wax, (full size) cello packs and rack packs from 1969 thru 1979, including most of the wax wrapper varations. Here is probably the cream of the crop |

I agree with Peter, John. Very nice rack pack! I like that GAI notes Clemente on front as if you might not have noticed. |

Here's a '60 rack pack from Mile High- the earliest one I've seen. You'd think for 20% juice they could get the photo in focus |

Mark Murphy's pack guide states the earliest rack pack he had seen was from 1960 but the image above obviously negates that. Still, the early racks consisted of 3 cello packs and the first true rack pack is from 1968. There were also some 3rd Party racks in the 1950's and Kevin Savage auctioned a bunch of those a few years ago. The earliest was (I think) from 1954. |

I wouldn't mind a rack pack with Colavito, Musial and Spahn on top. My G*d! Who's in back? Mantle, Mays and Koufax? |

GAI had a 3 year head start on pack grading. PSA just started last fall. |

PSA does not grade rack packs or oversized wax packs (think 69 and 70 basketball packs) yet, therefore all graded racks will be GAI |

Here's what I picked up at the National (thanks Keith!). Turns out you don't have to look at the back to discover that it's an OPC pack. |

The Red-White-Blue wrapper on the right represents the normal 5-cent Bowman pack available in 1949. |

Left wrapper lists cards, right lists 5 cards, so maybe a 1 cent pack. Or maybe it contained PCL cards. |

The very rare wrapper on the left was not a 1-cent wrapper for the regular 1949 issue. Both the penny and the nickel |

Need to get myself a 1969 Topps Pack at some point in this short stay on this earth. Closest I've come is a nice wrapper. |

Ted - do you have a scan of the 1 cent wrapper? I assume the only difference between the red/blue/white 5 cent and 1 cent would be the number of cards in the pack (and hence the writing on the front that states 5 cards). |

John- no idea on GAI these days. All except the Tatoo and Bell Brand pack were bought from Steve Hart though, and most were graded by PSA before I decided I really didn't like the holder. |

I got this pack as a gift several years ago. I wasnt sure why it had football on the front yet it had baseball cards on the back so I called topps years ago to help clarify this. |
