Unopened Question - Do These 1983 Topps Packs Look OK?

I have a bunch of loose 1983 Topps packs that I set aside to rip many years ago. Now I’m going through them to see if they are truly factory sealed. The roller marks look good, but the back wrap/folds seem to vary a bit here and there from pack to pack. I am considering busting open one of my BBCE boxes to confirm this variation is typical.

Do you guys think I have any reason to be concerned?

Thanks,
John

    Shoot the side view of the bottom row...the top row looks good to me.

    John,

    The corner folds look legit and the back folds are consistent with Topps fold specs. Assuming the roller lines line up, those are legit. Nice packs!

    Packs look legit. I don’t think they’d grade well but good packs to rip as legit packs.

    even the coloring and wrapper centering looks consistent from all being from the same box. i vote good.

    Thanks guys. There’s about 40 packs but the coloring is off between wrappers on some for sure. I will prob rip some of them. Will post results when I do.

  • No, don't rip! At $20-$25 a pack, hold them, maybe send off the top 3-4 for grading.
