If you're wondering about the "overstamp," it is factory info only. Now, if only I could find a reliable TPG to certify and slab this baby:

That is just amazing! Is there way to tell if a card is in there?

Over the years, some have suggested that an xray or MRI might reveal the contents of these packs--I'm not really sure about that. There is, of course, another method to "find out if a card is in there," but that of course is NOT going to happen. Thank you all for the positive comments, both here and via pm's.

Michael-

Beautiful pack. Save your money on the x-ray; it doesn't work!

First ever vintage card purchase. Not prewar...unless you count Vietnam.

Thanks Dan. Now I'm looking at 1955 Topps Robinsons. Would love a 52 obviously. I can feel the sickness rising.

Thought about doing a Jackie Robinson master set but a) probably can't afford it and b) I don't know what the hell a master set is. Thought about trading some Jackie Robinson photos for cards, but figured that takes a unique collector crossover.

Patiently waited and got my Pete Alexander. Though it's a Tom Barker version rather than a National Game, but no matter. I like the Barker backs better so it was a win to grab this. Edit to say I can't believe he was only 26 in this picture. He looks like he is 50.
