I'm assuming they are considered real if PSA is grading them. Have these been accepted by the sealed pack collectors as real for a while, or did these just start showing up recently?
These are well documented as original. This is actually the case of Topps recycling a design rather than old stock. If the op would flip the pack over and scan the back you will actual see an offer on the reverse the expires at the end of 1976. The 74 packs have a similar offer ending at the end of 1974. Different fonts and sizing are also used.
