When a lemon becomes lemonade.....Pirates Pack

Posted By: Phil B

Leon- the likely truth (which I'm guessing you already know) is that the pack has more value being auctioned as an unopened pack then it will have should you crack it. Pre-war sealed packs consistently seem to sell for far more than the card(s) that could possibly be discovered inside. Your posts also seem to hint that it is possible that there is a piece of plain cardboard inside (maybe to help keep the cigarettes crush proof)?

That being said I will confess that I have purchased graded sealed packs in the past (50s-70s) and I open 'em every time! Have never had a single great pull and have often questioned the legitimacy of the "sealed" packs. But it doesn't take away the thrill!

If the money truly doesn't matter- go for the thrill. But if the money matters even just a little - consign it.
