Does GAI-5 69-70topps pack worth anything?

It is a 5. But it does has a Alcindor RC showing on the back. I am holding Trash or Gold??

    That trash needs to be disposed of properly. Please send to me for safe disposal :D

    Post the cert # and one of the experienced unopened guys can determine if it is from the more reputable grading periods.

    Solid gold. Does the cert number start with 100 or 101?

    Certainly the early very numbers had more reliable authentication, but the later numbers (102, 103) are not all bad. Just a higher likelihood. Would still prefer the early silver flips though.

    Agreed. I've got packs with 102 and 103 serials that are good- I crossed them from the first round of PSA pack holder when I got them. But there were some sketchy stuff like grocery cellos in that run.

    My pack has the 102 serial. Does PSA grade tall boy packs?

    Just checked PSA site, i know at one pt (a few yrs ago) they specifically said they don't grade tall boy 69-70T packs but I don't see such statement anymore. However, I have never seen any tall boy packs in a PSA holders neither.

    Unfortunately PSA does not grade them and BBCE does not authenticate them either so there are no options in the market today to confirm legitimacy.

    Cool pack though.

    Don't let anybody low-ball you. That's a legit 5-figure pack.

    I think so too. Call up REA and see if they are interested auctioning it off for you.

    So PSA refuses to grade these packs? Why?

    Pack is too tall for the pack holder.

    I would definitely contact a major auction house to sell unless you get your asking price privately.
