Unopened Graded One Cent Football Pack Question

Does knowing the player (non star) of a one cent graded vintage pack hurt the value of the pack?

Am I wrong thinking that if you know there is no potential star in the pack, that it is worth less?
I think its not different than 2000 sp authentic.
1250 Brady rookies inserted.
Between psa sgc and beckett....over 1250 have been graded.
Some have been cracked and crossovers but still the odds are almost zero of pulling a brady from the boxes...yet the boxes still have value.
I think your pack still has value as an unopened pack regardless of who is inside.

I understand that but if the player inside is listed on the flip to me it takes the mystery of maybe it is Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr etc.
i would think any card inside a penny wax is messed up from the gum, wax seal, corner damage from being the only card inside.
Yes.
However not so much for "true" unopened collectors. It has seemed pretty obvious to me that a LOT of unopened product gets prices WAY higher than makes sense if you look at it as potential value of individual cards.
This is very interesting. Are the cards numbered? Just how many more are graded than claimed issued?
I don't know anything about sp, but it would seem they might not have been honest about production?
It's fairly easy to tell what card is showing through the wrapper so the element of mystery is pretty much a non factor with 1c packs and the card is likely not going to be in higher grade condition anyway. The value of these packs is tied to their scarcity as unopened packs and is similar to the dynamic of a pack with a star or key rookie showing...you can easily find a higher grade card of that star card at any time but finding that card visible on top of an unopened pack from the factory is what makes it truly rare and therefore valuable.

But what if it is not a star?
BTW, Happy New Year My friends!
I would say that a common card is worth less than a star card if that is your question. But again value is tied primarily to scarcity in unopened form not the value of the single card within.
