this is the first I have heard that is any legitimacy to them. my understanding is they are put together long after the year of issue

I am not an expert in these items, i hope that it didn’t come across that I was. it sounds like you have more experience than I do. I am simply repeating the description that I have found from other listers of these items - again, I have no personal knowledge either way and have never even opened one of these up. To me this was going to be a fun experience to see what comes out.
After this comment, I did some further research and found this ... which seems to confirm Wid’s assertion that they were aftermarket products assembled in the 60s through the early 70s. What I find particularly fascinating was that Topps saw how successful these rack packs were - and it inspired them to create rack packs of their own. Here’s the link

If anyone would like to give up their slot due to the comments from Wid, please let me know and I will issue a prompt refund.
