Oldest packs you've opened?

[canjond]

While the experience is not my own, I do know an unopened Old Judge cigarette pack was opened at a show, yielding an OJ card which I believe PSA graded a 10. May Jay Miller can chime in?

I still have some unopened Topps 1980 Thirst Break gum packs I would be glad to send you if you want to try them. I think they started out orange. They are a little green now, but still very juicy. And when to goo is all removed ( licked clean ?) you get that great sports comic

Hey Al,

Thanks for the offer but I beat you to it. I bought a box and put together a set a few years ago (with some help from Dave), they are not distributed very well...at all. It was the mess from hell for about a week, everything was sticky. I popped one of those orange goo things in my mouth and chewed....almost lost it on that one.

For all cards...I opened a wax-paper pack set of 1936 Useful Birds of America. They didn't seem so useful but still have them.

I have opened several 1975 Topps mini packs, a 75 O pee chee pack and will probably do more in the future. Ideally I would like to sit down and open a whole box. I have pulled some HOF but they have all been off center which is very common for this set. At least it is 10 cards but more often then not I get 10 commons. Still since I am building the set it's ok.

Is this what you are referring to (2nd from top)? http://www.bmwcards.com/PSAbaseball.htm

1933 Sport Kings.

Helene Madison.

Ugh.

Oldest for me would be several 1951 Topps Red Back packs in the late 80's. They were so plentiful then I don't really count it.

That's it Daryl. I have never heard of another Old Judge pack being opened and/or yielding a card in recent times.

I opened a '61 Topps cello pack back in the late '80s. Recently I ripped two boxes of '75 minis.

but as the post indicates I confess to a 1933 Sport Kings opening frenzy back in the seventies...
