I don't buy unopened packs unless they feature my player on them and that would only take me back to the 70s. I have never wanted, nor purchased one of the older packs that may have actually been made in the 50s or 60s, but I don't think I could put too much money into one knowing that nobody seems to know much about them at all. There are hobby historians and old publications and yet these packs still seem to be a mystery? Seems reasonable that they were made much later, perhaps the 70s, 80s or even the 90s.

I never really dug into them looking for info, but seeing as they are not discussed here, that I have seen, I figured they were just another fake/scam that someone was using in order to sell some used cards?
The sellers description in the above ad sounds believable but like you, I always thought they were manufactured after the fact, not during production, and by someone with scamming/deceit in mind.
