picked up 5-10 of these back in the early 1980's at Brimfield, and being a teenager (= dumbass, in hindsight) I opened all
but one (1) of the packs, pulling a few Mantles and a few Carltons... MY question is: should I bust open my one (1) remaining pack - WS card showing on top - or: a). leave it sealed - make a few hundred bucks on an ungraded sealed pack b). make a few hundred bucks+ getting it graded/consigning or selling or c). WTF!!!??? open the pack and hope/pray for a home run (possibly a gorgeous high-grade freakin' Mantle or Carlton)??? curious for input. DS Last edited by FourStrikes; 09-16-2016 at 01:43 AM. |

To me, that is the conundrum / mystery / value of unopened material. Only you can answer that question! Good luck if you do open it.

I don't really know what the most sensible or profitable answer to your question is? I only know that I could not, in any form resist..... OPENING IT!

What is the current retail on a 1967 cello pack?

Agreed. With Mantle and Carlton the only real star power in the 2nd Series, that's a real gamble. Then again, if you hit, that gamble pays off.

Wouldn't the Seaver RC be the biggest pull out of that pack? I would get it graded and keep or sell it. Probably about a 95% chance the pack is worth much more unopened than its contents will be.
