I'm going to be dating myself here .... but I remember a guy named "the baseball kid" aka mark murphy used to specialize in unopened material ... and his stuff was always genuine. But that was a decade ago....not sure if he's still in the biz.

I remember him too. Apparently he is still in business. If you go to www.bbckid.com it says copyright 2010 at the bottom.

Mark Murphy had his entire inventory either burned or water damaged several years back. I forget which one. But he lost his entire inventory. He had lots of old wax packs, including a few boxes of unopened 1952 Topps. I bought 1960's packs from him. They were always nice. I don't think he has any of those left after his incident

Mark is a very good guy to work with and he is very knowledgeable. I believe he has a little booklet on how to determine if a pack has been opened.

Yes, I thought of Mark too, but hadn't heard much about him. Yes, he has an unopened pack price guide/guidebook , which is probably for sale on his website.

Either way, there is nothing like the thrill of opening up a mid 70s pack, and pulling out a star all these years later. Hope you find what you are looking for.
