Man that would be fun though! Talk about an adrenaline rush...

If I owned a complete Leaf set, I can't think of a cooler way to complete it than with an unopened pack to go with it. But 50k is obscene.

this. But agree the price is obscene, especially for a pack that is essentially open already. Obviously 2 guys disagree.

I collect packs and other collateral pieces- they go along with a complete set. Uncut sheets, packs, tobacco tins, salesman samples, whatever.
No more tempting to open a pack than cut up a sheet.

No doubt. I think we all remember opening packs as a kid. I love opening older packs and boxes. A while back a friend and I went in on an 83 Topps box and split the backs. He got the better end finding a Gwynn and Sandberg. I did hit a Boggs and Ripken.

I'm guessing that whoever bought that pack plans on keeping it unopened in their amazing collection of unopened packs.

To continue with the surprising prices of unopened packs, the current Memory Lane auction has a 1948 Bowman Basketball pack at $35,000 with nearly 3 days left http://memorylaneinc.com/site/bids/b...e?itemid=42937
