Out of curiosity, you mention 6 cards visible and the pack you have has 5 commons visible. What is the other card visible? Or am I reading your post wrong? Either way, still in ... just curious. Thanks.

a random 1953 card in this rack pack. 12 spots, i assume scott randomizes an order and whatever slot you get, you get that card. basically a lottery-ish event, $75 for a chance at either a common card or something better.

Christmas packs were created from 1952 through around 1980 or so. Each year excess inventory was sold off and repackaged by resellers who are not affiliated with Topps. The cards are always genuine but had usually been lightly handled. Sometimes resellers would pull out specific players other times they wouldn’t —- you can’t really tell by the pack what was done. There are always 12 cards to a repackaged Christmas pack - six are visible and six are hidden. You are buying a number 1 through 12. The number will represent your position on the Christmas pack - which may be a card we already know or perhaps a hidden one. At the break I line up your number with the pack position and whatever card that is - I pull package and send out. I hope this clarifies things.

Here’s a link to a sample Christmas pack...it is NOT this pack
