Ok, I'm sure this might have been discussed before - but when I first got back into collecting, I bought a few of these. Now, I think I was just a sucker. Does anyone have any opinion or know if this is just a total ripoff?

I think at that exact point he realized he got snookered, although he didn't want to admit it.
One error in judgment he made in his "evaluation" was the rusty staples - they are quite easy to fake.
The Christmas packs are vintage. They are aftermarket repackaging of 1-12 years old cards. they are from the mid1960s and contain cards from 1952 to about 1963.
Sold in toy stores even up to the 1970s.
Buy them for the cards, not that fact they are unopened, .....they are not a Topps product even though the cards are.

I was thinking about it for around $100. Even then, knew I would likely get screwed. $300 is unimagineable to me, I could go get 12 commons slabbed PSA 7 and still have $100 left over. And looking at the visible cards, they are absolutely not 7's. The only hope here is that you pull a star out of the middle, but since these are re-packaged, I'd guess those are some long odds.
Just me, or is this a crazy price?
