    The Pack or the holder ?

    The holder looks normal to me, Thats the way Gai seals thier stuff.

    Seems to good to be true don't it? This set has been popular for a very long time how could any leave a pack of 1952 unopened knowing what could be inside.

    That pack gave me bad flashbacks - about 10 yrs ago Mark Murphy had this find from a little ole lady from Pasedena - the packs were in fantastic shape and were selling in the 1700$ range - that was a lot of money to me - but now it's a bargain and it woulda been nice to have!

    The 1700$ fish that got away.

    I've seen this pack up for auction before I think, but I'd be reluctant to bid the big bucks on it because of the grade and because it looks a little rough around the edges. I'd pass and wait for the PSA version, personally.

    Why wait for PSA. Rutter is/was better than Steve Hart, he told me so on these very boards.

    Don't worry about the wrinkled wrapper. The pack is almost 55 years old. It's bound to develop a few wrinkles at that age. image

    Well, they aren't in every vintage pack collection but they are probably the most available 5c Topps pack from the 50s. I wonder how many of them are legit but there have been a few finds including the Mark Murphy one highlighted above. I also tried to broker a deal a few years back for a sealed brick of packs. The deal didn't materialize because the owner wasn't ready to sell. I'm sure those packs are still locked away.
