1952 Christmas Rack Pack with Mantle

[Republicaninmass]

I got smoked an a 56 rack a while back before there was more info in them. It had an Aparicio RC on top that graded a 7. The rest were ex commons.

I bought a 58, haven't opened it. The cards showing are all real, and look pretty good as far as corners go. But have typical centering issues. There is a high number on the back, so it's not entirely junk.

Looking at the ones on Ebay, there's a few different types of packaging. I'd expect worse stuff from some of them, although I'd have to really study them to figure out which are fakes of the old repacks.

I have been told the answer lies in the staples

So, just to be sure, all the cards were authentic though, right?

Yes all were authentic.

I have a 1961 one. I assume it's fake because when I purchased it - the guy "threw one in for free". (Total move to get a sucker to keep coming back I decided).

I sold the one I bought (broken even) and have the other one still.

Can't decide whether to open it or just sell it for whatever I can get on Ebay and take a profit .

So the analysis is opening it worth $75-100 on the off chance it is "real" (at least came from the 1960s/early 1970s)? Never been able to convince myself to open or sell it - so it just sits in a box!

Cheers,
Patrick

Like any "unopened pack" whatever is in it could never be as good as what you hope might be in it

I hate unopened stuff, I just have to rip it open to see what is in there.

I only have 1 unopened item. A 1986 Topps rack pack with the Roger Clemens Blue Streak error showing in the center. It is killing me not to rip it open because I know that elusive Terry Puhl Blue Streak error is in there.
