I was looking at an old Excel file of stuff I sold on eBay in the early 2000's. A 1976 rack pack with Ryan and Palmer on top went for a whopping $10 back in 2000. Kinda wish I had this one back.

    Yes, those 70's unopened packs didn't take off at that time yet. Timing is everything I suppose. If we knew when to buy and when to sell, we'd all be rich. image

    I hear investing in 1978 and 1979 unopened baseball packs is the way to go. I'm up to 5 1979 cello boxes now. image

    << <i>Joking aside, the unopened '78 & '79 rack prices have gone up considerably in the last year or two ... glad I got to rip some of those to shreds before it happened as I'm not gonna be paying what they cost no more. >>



    I agree!!! I guess they've hit the point of diminishing returns. I think I'll be sitting on my stuff for some time.

    $10? Wow, that seems really low, even for 2000. I've been buying unopened on ebay since 2001 and even back then, I recall 76 racks going for around $90 each, and that was for a generic rack.

    I just checked the Excel file again and there was a comment in the cell that says "$99 sale, $89 cost". I guess I bought it and tried to flip it for a quick profit. The sale date was January, 2002.
