Perhaps a fun related question...
What would be the oldest pack you would dare open if you had it in your hands today???
vs. decide that you just can't do it, and that you must hold or re-sell as unopened?? I am going to on record and say that I would probably have trouble opening any big-rookie year, like 1965, 1957, and 1955, or 1954. So...I will say 1956.

Ols Packs
I could not bring myself to open or sell any of my older packs. My wife can decide after I am dead. ( as long as she does not sell them to a guy with crisp $ 100 bills) But, if I were going to open one, it would be 1952, since although expensive, it would be easier to replace

1970. Of course I was 5 at the time. I don't recall what I got.

Back in the middle/late 80s, I opened a59 cello, which had a GORGEOUS Dead centered Banks, some 1960 cellos, when they were cheap. 1963 Cello from Mr Mint, that had a Clemente, and I recall a 65 cello w a Koufax and Maris BOTH in it. Wish I still had those.

Opening several cases of 1985 Topps back in 1998 hoping to pull a PSA 10 Mark McGwire rookie (back when they were selling for about $5k) is actually what got me into vintage cards. My first experience with cards was going to the drug store as a kid buying 1985 Topps wax packs. The rush of nostalgia from opening those 1985 cases got me interested vintage Topps cards which led me to my first vintage purchase, an EX 1952 Topps Willie Mays. Ever since then, I've been hooked on '50s Topps cards.

I've been thinking about opening a '62 pack recently...
I have 5 or 6 slabbed 1962 Topps Baseball Packs and I've been considering maybe cracking one at Christmas...
Not this one as I'll leave the Mantle/Mays card be. 1962TOPPSpackMantleMays.jpg But maybe this puppy. Series 1... 1962TOPPSseries1GAI7.jpg

The earliest packs I remember opening was the 1965 baseball . I remember all the Batman sets. I remember 66 , 67 68 and the really cool Expos in the 69 sets. We had tons of cards , for the bikes and making large houses of cards.
Even though this wasn't exactly opening something , but when we moved out to the country in 1969 , we found a bunch of Goudeys in the garage attic. We had the coolest bike cards around . Oh the pain , to look back at being young and dumb. My mom got angry one day and threw them all away one day.---  Mothers , you got to love them.
