Opinions on this 1965 Topps Football unopened pack. Thanks!

1. Legit unopened?
2. Could it contain a Namath? Is it the right series wrapper?

    can't say pictures are out of focus especially the back of the pack. that in itself scares me. JMHO

    Just didn't have that "usual suspects" scammer look to it.

    He's got three other unopened packs up for auction. One a cello with Gifford on tiop - I know some here have warned about raw cellos with a star on top.

    no thanks...that is a pretty rare pack and anyone selling a legit one is gonna take a bit more time in its presentation

    Yes, and very poorly at that...corner folds are wrong and the seal does not look at all original.

    << <i>no thanks...that is a pretty rare pack and anyone selling a legit one is gonna take a bit more time in its presentation >>



    He did know enough to state "This contains the oversized cards which were only issued for one year, and a magic rub-off insert. Could contain a Joe Nameth rookie card"...so he certainly did some research on the pack.

    I'll admit, the possibility of a "babe in the woods" seller intrigued me and for the "right price" I was gonna take a shot at it...but perhaps not now after reading the replies. Considering the replies here, I now believe he likely intentionally misspelled Namath's name to give that "babe in the woods" impression.

    It's over $300 already.

    Yes, and very poorly at that...corner fold are wrong and the lighting and look of the scan reminds me of other resealed auctions I've seen before.. >>



    That's what almost fooled me I guess...I figured a scammer would have resealed the packs better, as funny as that sounds. LOL

    Thanks guys! - You saved me money...again! image

    EDIT: The 1963 pack is the one which isn't sealed that well - the one flap is loose.

    One thing is, how often do you see empty wrappers of 65 Topps football? Not very often. And in good condition.

    I'd rather see the pack in person.

    Just curious .......... what is the wrapper alone worth?

    Has to be well over a hundred bucks , doesn't it?
