Trying to find information about these packs I bought at an auction. Any help would be appreciated.

    These were not produced by Topps. They are after-market packaging produced by an unrelated third party. They are similar to the christmas racks. T

    Thank you "MantleFan23" for the information you provided.

    Were these packs actually sold in stores by third-party marketers?
    If so, were they sold during the same year as the printing of the card, or years later?

    Do they have more (or any) value leaving them stapled together or pulling them apart as individual cards?

    Thank you for taking the time to bring some clarity to this for me. It is much appreciated!

    100% bogus aftermarket packs. Run away.

    Are the cards fake or just the packs?

    They have no value besides the cards themselves. Typically, the cards contained in these packs are in VG-EX condition. In the pictures you show, the condition is actually worse. I would never purchase anything like these packs or christmas rack packs. Like Tim had mentioned, Run Away

    Yes I agree with @MantleFan23 & @grote15 on the re-packaging and lesser grade condition cards inside of those packs..
    although, I kind of have a "thing" for unopened material like that... B)

    Geeze they could have at least stuffed the packs with EX grade cards. Some of those are poor or fair.

    I have purchased some of the Christmas racks for about 10 - 15 each and it was fun opening them. Cards were in NM condition, not bad, never really got a lot of stars though. But the packs you bought definitely do not look legit, heck there is a wax stain on one of the cards.

    Work hard and you will succeed!!

    Can’t wait for the new 1952 topps blasters to come out next year! Never ends
    Constant scam. Run away and learn from this.

    these attempts at "packs" keep getting worse. what the heck is this. print a wrapper or header scan and seal them up in a ziplock. the christmas packs and funco packs probably get away with it because they don't list topps on the headers or use topps designs, these are clear copyright infringement and fraud

    I picked this one up a few years back. With a genuine Mark Murphy rookie card on top in the correct cell it has to be real!! Santa wouldn't lie to me..... would he?
