Not baseball but I opened 2 79 Topps hockey packs about 10 years ago...paid $20 each and got a Gretzky rookie and a Howe.A 1970 Topps basketball with a Maravich rookie showing through the back...kept closed and sold it.Baseball 1973 Topps ..a Palmer.Pack cost me $15 at the time.I think pre 1976 packs are priced such that unless you get the key card you will lose $$$.But is sure tempting to do.
I wish I had the spare money to relive my 2 favorite pack opening experiences...1971 with the tin coin..my 1st packs and 1975 ..the 1st year I actually collected /completed a set from packs.Memories of going through rack packs at the toy store trying to find those last evasive cards.Those days are gone but they were very cool.

What dealer these days has the best vintage selection of the pre 1976 packs? Reading the posts about the 1950's packs being opened was pretty cool.You guys must have been nervous as hell...like russian roullette.

Tho its only 23 years old now. I just got an 89 score FB pack. Itching, but waiting for my friend to get home from Maine. When I get my mini pack, hopefully in October, I'll post the photos and results here

A couple weeks ago at a show I picked up a '82 Donruss pack for $2 and got the Ripken rookie, pretty excited about that. I also remember pulling a '84Mattingly topps rookie out of a pack in the mid '90's and was jumping up and down.

With the newer, by comparison at least, stuff, its just the fun of opening and finding the name, eg. the Ripken in the Donruss.
I think the old pack openers, and I used to be one, are NUTS. If ANYONE opens something awesome, give us results and photos of what you pull

Not the oldest packed I've opened, but it had the best hit: I bought some '75 mini packs to have graded a year or so ago. My sister was over at my house with her kids and I walked into my office to find my 2-year-old nephew messing with one of the packs. He'd already peeled the back of the pack open, so I figured I might as well go ahead and open it, since there wasn't any use getting it graded. I'd bought 5 packs...the one he forced me to open had a nice Brett RC.
