    I've never seen those either.
    Do you think it's homemade?

    Could be fake. Its strange that Ive never seen one before either and when one comes up it comes up with the two best rc's from the set.

    I have two 1980 OPC baseball racks which contains four individually wrapped wax packs in a mylar sleeve and a header card. Intersting that in the U.S. Topps made wax racks in 1980 with 3 packs but with OPC they included four wax packs for some reason..

    OPC always seemed to but less cards in each pack. Probably a way of evening out the # of cards with the American counterpart.

    I have never seen one before but seems real generic like almost a
    special you got at a Kmart a year or two later?

    yup, they exist. I remember them in 84...I grew up on the ny/canadian border.

    I still think it's a fake. "Rare" rack pack and just happens to have the 2 biggest rookies on top?

    It definitely seems suspicious...

    Ironmanfan, would love to see that Ripken pack!

    i'll try to remember to pull it out of storage this weekend and get a picture of it (i bought it at one of the old Fort Washington, PA shows in the early 1990's)

    Thanks for the scan. That's a nice Ripken item.
    Now I want an OPC Rack!

    Roger,
    There's a lot of stuff you don't know. Like how to hit pick 4s and sell logsplitters.

    Along the lines of 1984 Rack Packs, how common are these racks (Sugarless Gum)?:

    Awesome items Ironmanfan! I can't even imagine what all you have in your collection...

    wow...Topps was caring about children's health before the obesity epidemic. I've never heard of those before...crazy!
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    I would think that the '84T Sugarless Gum Racks were designed to sell at grocery stores to appeal to mothers (just a thought); I just haven't seen any before and was curious what others may know.....
