Maybe there's been a poll of this question before but whatwith the guys opening their '80s baseball and football packs I thought it would be an ample time to ask again.

at opening packs
Is like a first date with a virgin...
Everything is fresh...
Everthing is new...
There's anticipation and anxiety in the air...
Wild and obscene thoughts race thru one's mind...
You touch and there's electricity, raw emotion, unbridled excitement...
That vintage pack should stay virgin.

I couldn't afford to do it but I applaud the rippers!!!
However, for the investor minds out there - I think there's way more value in the pack unopened and entombed in a PSA holder.

I leave them closed until they taunt me to no end. Then I open them. I can usually hold out a few seconds.

If you had a choice, would you rather pull a T206 Wagner or get mad cow disease?

Honus Wagner had mad cow disease? If he worked for sgc or sent his cards there he wouldnt have gotten it or better yet he would have been cured.

As far as opening a tobacco pack from 1909 goes, good luck! I'd like to have an unopened one, but there's a lot of homework to be done before cracking one, or you might end up with a flower card or something instead of a baseball card. Plus, it's probably stained something fierce.
Hey, that makes me think -- has anyone ever opened an unopened pack of Sweet Caporal 1909's and smoked one? There was a thread a while back about chewing gum from old packs -- I want to see video of someone smoking tobacco packaged in 1909...

And as long as we're lighting 'em up, I wouldn't mind trying one too...
That old gum thread I mentioned nearly tempted me to open a pack of 1954 Bowman football to try the gum. Well, plus, I'd just like to open something from the 50's.
