Default 1979 Topps Unopened Pack
I got it for Christmas.
What should I do with it?


Let's run the poll until 8 Eastern tonight.
I'll do what the polls says.

Open it for fun, or sell it. I see absolutely no point owning an unopened pack, myself.

Rip it!

As an aside, my wife and I binge-watched the entire run of Three's Company last winter. I found three packs of 1976 Topps Three's Company cards at the LCS for a couple bucks a pack and she loved them when she found them in her stocking! She ripped them and got a Chrissy rookie and a couple of Mr. Ropers!

She even took a crack at the gum, so when you break open the pack give that a shot as well!

Was the Chrissy RC a "scratch and sniff"? Still looking for one of those.

Keep it. Like wine, the gum improves with.age. Opening the pack is like uncorking a bottle of wine. Only savages chew anything after 1985.

I keep at least one unopened pack with each of my Topps sets. For me, it is part of the set. And I know that whatever is in those packs will never be as good as what I like to think is in those packs

I would probably open it. I know someone who opened a 1960 Topps pack around 10-12 years ago. I have the Art Ditmar card that was in the middle of the pack and it's gorgeous/perfect condition.

I voted "open it" since it's not my pack... I personally would not open it if it were mine.

Please remember to record a video...don't post the cards one at a time...unless you want to post three Ozzies and four Ryans.

Cheers,
Steve

Hey Steve, it is possible.
There are 12 cards in the pack, you know.

Although this isn't a 52 Topps, and I'm just having fun with it, I will do a video and throw it on You tube.
