opening an unopened GAI graded 1952 Topps Baseball five cent wax pack.

I opened a lot of these packs in 1952. I was 5-years old or approaching 5 in Aug of 1952. I remember it like it was yesterday. Sitting on the steps outside the local neighborhood store ripping the wax wrappers and throwing them away and then jamming the cards into my pocket. You had to have been there for such a memory.

That is awesome. My dad was born in '44 and to this day, still calls cards 'Flips'. Said it was a game the kids played, flipping the cards on the ground or something!?! He grew up in St. Louis, MO, so not sure if kids did that all over, on top of putting them in wheel spokes, haha!

Guy shares a pack of 1952 Topps opening with the world and gets nothing but critics busting his chops. 1. THIS IS AN AMAZING VIDEO. He is doing something all collectors dream of. I for one appreciate him sharing. 2. This is obviously not a resealed pack. He got 3 good name stars of the era. No way you will find this quality in a reseal. 3. You people kill me complaining about him not talking. probably the same people who bitch on videos about people talking to much

Obviously not a reseal because of that quality? The "stars" he got are worth barely more than commons. There are a bunch of HOFers in the first series of '52 Topps. Plus, it's GAI, which means it was basically ungraded. Murphy left there soon after they started grading packs; there's even a video of someone opening up an old GAI graded pack and getting cards from a different year in it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/laqcgaeciLd2Zrc There is no way of really knowing if it was searched. It's great that he opened it obviously, but I can't imagine wagering thousands of dollars on just the hope that it somehow wasn't. Doubt the odds were anywhere near in his favor

I played softball back in the 70’s with a guy who had collected cards with his dad all of his life. His dad passed away in the late 60’s, and he and his mom kept the cards because it was a memory of them being together. My mom sold all of my cards at a garage sale, including a complete set of ‘65 Topps obtained by buying packs (traded 12 comic books to get Warren Spahn to complete the set). My friend decided to look back at the cards when collecting surged in popularity. He found 7 Mantle rookies… it was his dads favorite player so he didn’t sell at that time, against all the advice from team members! We said keep one, sell the rest. Haven’t seen him in 40 years!
