I will actually answer what the OP asked...

A while back, I had a sizable CC gift card to play around with, so I said 'what the hey' and actually bought a pair of 1972 'Holiday Packs.' I knew it was a bad move, but took the gamble anyway, because hope is a dangerous thing. I've been collecting 1972 high numbers in PSA 9 condition (as well as upgrading the centering of my non-graded sets), and the pair I bought had both the Joe Morgan and Steve Carlton Traded cards visible with nearly perfect centering. A high grade, properly centered Morgan is one of the toughest cards to find in the set. Wicked tough. The other cards shown were high numbers as well. After opening the packs (I believe I have a video of it?), I found the cards to be as advertised. Really, really nice shape, centering all over the place and no possibility of being 9's. Perfect for a binder set. The problem was on the inside of the packs, as I knew it would be. Beneath the marquees name high numbers were low number commons, the Sparky Lyles and Alex Johnsons of the world. In conclusion, for the amount I paid, it was a complete bust. Yup, it bears repeating. Hope is a dangerous thing.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
