<< <i> As upsetting as fakes are, I do sometimes think it creates widespread panic that everything is fake (or a majority), which is not true. I totally agree we have to all be cautious and do our due diligence and expose people on these boards. Guess I'm just sayin' there is still plenty of legit stuff out there. . especially from 1975 to present. >>
Actually the most knowledgable unopened collectors here, and I believe Steve Hart as well, have said that the majority of 1970's era unopened on eBay is fake. Due to prices, I'd also think 1980 falls into that category as well. >>
Are you saying my 1981 Topps rack with Fernando, Gibson, Ryan on front and Reggie Raines and another Fernando on back isn't real? You guys are making me depressed. I guess my 82 rack with 6 Ripken rookies is fake too. That's it I'm out if this hobby.

Collecting: Any unopened Baseball cello and rack packs and boxes from the 1970's and early 1980s.
<< <i>Resealing has been going on since at least the early 80s, if not earlier, from a very reliable source. >>
It was with the advent of GAI pack slabbing that resealing really took on momentum as it provided a vehicle by which highly skilled resealers could see profits never before imagined. >>
I bought a 70 BB rack from a very well known seller in the early 90's Their was a Reggie Jackson showing and a Carlton on the back. Steve couldn't authenticate it. Re sealers have been around since the dawn.
Interested in 60's and 70's psa and raw star and hof cards
