Obviously there is a market for unopened sports cards and that adds a premium to what may actually be inside the packs. I have bought a few of the newer packs that contains 70s cards that I am fairly certain were made in the last couple of years. I have never paid more than what I felt was fair as a novelty pack with my favorite player on top.
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.
