Wants to know if he should sell the pack or open it... graded pack

I'm sure what he should do is keep or sell the unopened pack. But I'm not sure I could resist the temptation. I think it would also depend on if you could figure out what series the pack is, and if the Mantle or Yaz rookie has a chance to be in the pack.

DO NOT OPEN. Cards inside are worth $12. Cards in pack are worth hundreds or thousands.

The gum could be lethal.:eek:

He wants to know if he should sell the graded pack or open it when i comes in. Possible Yaz or McCovey... Mantle etc...

I told him a gambling man opens it. Safe play is to sell the graded pack.

Fairly long odds. Not a gamble I'd take personally

1960 Pack
 

If it`s me, no way I`m going to open that pack. Is there also mention of some sort of drawing for a T 206 Cobb involved with these redemption cards ?

You could always press the front and back of the pack tight to see if you can make out the names on the top and bottom.

sell sell sell

+1

I think there is a lottery for the T206 Cobb for the people who get these type of finds. Not sure how many there are

I'd tell him to record opening it and post it here, but that's just me living through him cause I'd open it cause I'm a gambling man.

I'll try

I feel bad for him. Had much higher hopes & GAI?

GAI was pretty solid for pack grading... Looks like an older label also. I wouldn't worry.

Series one though.

He posted the pack on Ebay.
Hopefully he wins the Cobb lottery.

I am just really starting to venture into Vintage, and haven't even started to look at packs. Is it apparent if these packs were opened and resealed? I would imagine it is easy, and pretty easy to fool a company like GAI also.

I don't know the nuances of detection but I think GAI was the first of the TPG's to get into sealed packs and I remember their reputation being pretty good at the time.

Unless the money from the sale is going to better your quality of life, just open it. That way you won't be wondering what might have been inside.

It sold for $700.
