Does anyone collect Unopened?

Oh I've opened. At one point Ive had over 30 1970 and 1971 wax packs between the full boxes and ones I've picked up when I got into unopened collecting in the late 90's.

Would you like to see some results?

Definitely would like to see results. Do you think you'll open everything eventually or are there ones you won't ever touch?

Absolutely beautiful display!

Thanks Steve.

I probably won't be opening many more. Have multiple complete sets for 1970 and 1971 so don't really need any cards from those years.

Will slowly post some cards I have pulled from FB packs I have opened since the late 90's. My general motto is when Im lucky enough to obtain a lot of packs from same year series etc I open one for "research".

Sent a 1968 first series wax pack to PSA for grading years ago, came pack questionable so I opened. Pulled a PSA 9 on a Tommy McDonald card, 2 posters instead of one as advertised and this. Back edge has a small chunk missing or it would be mint:

Awesome Butkus - looking forward to seeing a few more.

thanks!

As most know, I've done a lot of research into sequencing. A friend of mine gets the credit for figuring it out for 1958 cellos. He allowed me to purchase a cello pack on ebay knowing this was likely to be pulled. The top card on the cello was miscut but the Brown was in the bottom sequence (58 cellos can have up to 4) so I was hoping for the best. Cant really complain about getting a pack fresh untouched Brown rookie for a couple of G spots.

i only have the 84 topps FB graded ..once i learned about the ins&outs from a board member and what to look for..i said heck with all that. I did however buy a 53 rack pack, got some good grades, for a set builder, but no lottery picks.
