Does anyone collect Unopened?

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.

Carnac! That is an awesome display. Do you have one dedicated to baseball (I know this is a football thread, but had to ask)?

The sequencing thing was definitely not an aspect of collecting unopened I thought about when I started this thread - that's really interesting - having some kind of "x-ray vision" to know what's in the pack.... it must of felt good to be right and pull the Brown. I think I'd sell it even if only to prove to unnamed individuals the hobby can also make money

Since I got into unopened in the late 90's I think I have opened 5 1971 wax packs (8 cards, one game card and one poster) and a cello pack (23 cards).

From the wax packs I pulled these 2 cards;
