Is it worth opening the pack?

I opened six packs last night.

Actually from what I hear, depending on where you live, $45 for a pack of cigarettes is about right.

I opened six packs too

there are at least 3 "T" series that could be found in these clam shell packs. I would say there's about zero chance your pack holds a T51 card but would prefer to see the factory designation and the reverse of the pack before swearing my life away. Regardless - if I thought it was real - and if I didn't have two of the same and from the same source at your pricepoint - I wouldn't open it....... It's all about the sizzle - and not so much the steak. It's still a neat associated pack and the condition is very nice. I collect unopened cigarette packs and tins just because they are less likely to be found that way. With a clean T51 or folded postcard and an open pack with some rank old smokes the BEST outcome - and NOTHING the likely outcome - you pays your money and you takes your chances..........

Frank - were the Murad packs you opened the style shown above or this style?

I agree....check-out the Factory designation on the pack....if there is any possibility of a College card within this pack, it should read......
"Factory #7, 3rd Dist., N.Y."


Here's my type card (#105)

Liek everyone else, I think the only thing you could find in it are the T51 murads. There are a few with baseball, football and basketball scenes ... but even those rarely sell for more than $20 (Michigan FB, Penn state baseball, Harvard football, NW basketball?, maybe a few others). And with 150 different cards in the set ... and say under 20 decent cards ... it has to be more valuable unopened.

Just imagine that it contains a Juanita College card inside. You probaly wouldn't crack it open for that!

Cheers,
Patrick
