Perfect candidates to put in your bicycle spokes

[@RSTI191]

Clothes pins extra..

[@kimkrawczyk2199]

Cards facing wrong way that’s why there is no gum stain on back of card. Edges and corners of cards show some definite wear. Max Alvis card shows a comical amount of front wear and discoloration. I’ve been dealing in sports cards for almost 35 years. This is without doubt a resealed pack.

[@jonnydanger7181]

How much is Ricky Henderson rookie card worth mint I have two!

[@Jspnj85]

And all commons

[@imnotyourp]

LOL! DEF a resealed pack. I was expecting a Darryl Strawberry that was time warped back to "Original unsealed 65 pack"

[@jvanb231]

I was gonna say the 2nd to last card had all kinds of corner wear but the last card looked to have basically none... why would the card which is less protected have less damage? I have to agree.

[@ryansanders7157]

Only 5 cards per pack ?

[@gordonmorris957]

You got hosed bro. Definitely a repack and those corners. Yikes.

[@keithlenn9010]

Yep, my first thought - totally repackaged...

[@phillipabramoff7374]

Are those wax stains on the Max Alvis card? The fourth card in the pack would not get the wax effects. Yes, this was a repack.

[@rhp_6926]

As soon as I saw the glove, I knew it was a Doc Edwards card. Weird the stuff you remember after almost 60 years.

[@jonnydanger7181]

I have that kind of memory too 👍🤠

[@deserttrainguy3235]

Disaster of a pack...resealed and anything of value long gone. Thanks for the memories.

[@jimwampler4533]

After Vic Roznovsky retired, he became a home builder in Fresno California, we bought one of his houses it was a great house for the 18 years we live in it.

[@simon-nak8403]

Love these stories

[@danielbasso586]

Another sign of re-sealing, is how flattened the flaps were prior to opening. Someone took an iron to it.

[@VintageBaseballCardPacks]

Thanks for sharing. Although it looks like the pack was resealed, it was cool seeing a 1965 pack opening. Hope you didn’t pay too much for it.

[@17Helton]

That was a reseal for sure unfortunately. The Max Alvis had been around town for a couple of rides if you know what I mean. Also the card number(s) on the back were represented by at least 2 series. Topps released those in maybe 5 or 6 series back then. Typically the last series end up most valuable as there are Short Prints that are highly desirable.

[@gemint67]

Agreed. It was hard to tell in the video but it really looks like there's a wax stain on the front of the Alvis card.

[@joel5322]

You are correct. 100% resealed and they did a horrible job at that..

[@gordellis5849]

He shouldn't be putting his fingers any where near the corners!!!

[@ThisTheBreaks]

I would never trust that a 1965 pack has never been opened before. All the cards were facing the wrong way too.

[@888strummer]

This one was resealed because there were numbers from 2 different series, but there are a fair number of unopened packs still out there from 1965 and before

[@TINCI77]

i wouldn't trust any of these kind of packs . i dont care who authenticated it .

[@trueyankee4767]

100% resealed pack. A. The gum was broken B. One card had badly touched corners when others had little to none. C. There was no real wax stain on the card touching the gum which after so many decades would have been likely "glued" to it. I hope this was not expensive!

[@Notyouraveragewhiteguy]

The main problem I had was the gum. The was no residue or staining on the front or back card. No glue residue on the front, the back card was waay to clean for the gum being back there 99.9 percent of the time where the gum is the card is heavily stained. That card was clean

[@mikescorpio13]

Yeah, cause you're just a pro you know all about these packs don't you think of the arrogance in your comment knowing nothing just speaking out your ass. You might be right but you really don't have any idea you just talking out your ass

[@barrywainwright3391]

If he would have gotten a Mantle you wouldn't say all that even if it all still applied.

[@Famdoc1000]

All of the cards suffered from centering issues. And, at least one had touched corners. Probably a reseal.

[@bobh6634]

Was 11 than....Had all 5 of these guys at one time or another way back when. 5 cards and a stick of gum for a nickel. How many millions did I squander? The good players got put under the brim of your old floppy cloth/cardboard cap (cap/card sweated through) and thrown out when you went 0/3. The nobody's cards got clipped to the spokes of your bike, flipped, or used when playing colors. Life was simple back then..

[@samlipsit517]

I’m in my 60’s… I used to flip these cards in elementary school in the playground. You would flip until you matched a color , and take the pile.. Gambling at its best. Some days you would lose all your cards. When we had to many doubles, we would attach them to our spokes of our bikes with clothes pins 😂😂😂😂.. All the greats were just normal cards .. I have none saved, who knew !

[@dantierson405]

Doc Edwards was the manager of the Cleveland Indians he has manager cards from 1988 topps . I was born in January 1965 . Thanks, for sharing, Dan Tierson

[@Hattie1955]

Back then, cards were distributed in series. Looks like that pack had 3 from series 2 and 2 from series 3. I think that means they were opened and resealed.......

[@TrueREDSfan1]

Thanks for sharing, I'm 99.9% sure that pack was resealed. I wouldn't buy vintage packs through the mail unless it was BBCE and even then slight chance may be resealed.

[@bobbyburrellvhc2415]

100% for sure.

[@Notyouraveragewhiteguy]

I'm 100 percent positive that was resealed. The gum wasn't in the right. But that opened insanely clean. But the main problem I have is the gum leaves a residue on the cards. So that back card should've been stained it wasn't there was no residue from what I saw. Hopefully he didn't pay alot for it.

[@miket2419]

I was gonna say, that gum is a dead ringer. I would have put the pieces together, see if it made an actual stick

[@Ladshinxx]

I see 100 cards on Amazon for about 10 bucks, and every time I see an old vintage pack that was messed with, so I don't buy it.

[@bringbackthenordiques5990]

yep. especially cause BBCE used to sell like wall paper roll style wrappers.

[@ClementeCollector]

One of my favorite sets ever! Thanks for sharing!

[@jessekellerthecollectingne5058]

None of the names are big but it's still a cool pack to see get opened. I hope your channel grows.

[@MyMg23]

very funny line about the gum-you are a true original thinker.

[@waltercopus1485]

Those would look nice on my 1966 Schwin spokes. Well they use to.

[@joshmack8259]

Going off the card backs, there are cards from two different series in the packs (3rd & 4th Series).

[@BreakBoxBandit]

Love the 65 Topps design!!

[@johnpripusich2876]

Fun stuff! The good old days! 5 cents for five Topps cards plus gum. I like the way the pennant motif is echoed on the wrapper. Multiples of 5 (card numbers) are considered bigger stars. Multiples of 50 and 100...the biggest stars typically with Topps. I love that long-standing Topps tradition. Card #1 also usually elite. So, Max Alvis is biggest star in this pack.

[@K-xb2qz]

I bought a few vintage baseball packs. Nothing like that far back. I bought some 82 donruss baseball packs. It was only $5. I know those packs from the 60s and 70s cost hundreds of dollars. That's risky. People dont care aa long as they make money. I go down to the baseball shop every other Saturday or so and buy fresh packs from there. They dont sell super old packs but you can find 1985 on up baseball packs. I've bought 1987 Topps football packs. 1989 fleer basketball. It depends. Sometimes they get real unique stuff sometimes. So maybe they'll have some 87, 88 fleer basketball packs. Nice rip. Thanks for the video

Looks like, from the numbers, a couple different series are in that pack.

[@HeavyMetalOne64]

Not uncommon for Topps back in the 60’s....but the way he’s handling them though....

[@888strummer]

@@HeavyMetalOne64 Topps issued wax packs 1 series at a time; an obvious tip off this was resealed. And no wax stain on the card or gum stain on the last were tip offs it was resealed. Still fun though watching

[@randyussery1738]

The numbers of the cards indicate more than one series. The originals came packed within just one series that was distributed at the time.

[@franklegere6939]

Max Alvis was a two-time All-Star. So not a TOTAL loss😊

[@mikemartin7985]

Doc Edwards was the manager of the Maine Guides the Triple A team of the Cleveland Indians in the mid 80's. He also at some point managed the Indians in the late 80's. Remember getting his autograph when I went to Guides games in OOB, Maine.

[@PetesKorner]

I bought these packs back then and I'm pretty sure you got more than five cards in a pack!

[@DeanReszel-jr1ws]

Only 5 cards were in a pack in 1965

[@cowhand6112]

Doc Edwards, Hal Woodeshick and Max Alvis. Most fans would have known them. Lewis and Roznovsky probably cup of coffee guys that only Mets and Cubs fan knew. IMO #1 Doc #2 Max #3 Woodeshick #4/5 Lewis/Roznovsky

[@drieaz]

before you opened it; it had been opened up more times than jenna jameson's snatch

[@davidthecardcollector]

I would think there would be a gum stain on the last one. 1965 till now you would have to assume they were not stored in ideal conditions the whole time. Kind of odd the gum was busted up in so many pieces also.

[@Notyouraveragewhiteguy]

It was definitely resealed. The cards were facing the wrong way. There should've been residue from the glue on the 1st card and the back card should've been stained from the gum. Plus the way the gum was all broken up like that there also shouldve been surface scratches all over the last card

[@timfurnier7061]

Now you have everything you need to make your bike sound super cool when you ride it. Just get some clothes pins, and attach the cards to the frame so the spokes with hit them!

[@felixmadison5736]

I remember those cards. I was 16 years-old in 1965. You got a bunch of crappy players in that pack. LOL!!

[@ObsessedCollector]

Resealed for sure. 2 diff series, Gum was way too small for 1965, corners on a few cards were dinged, no wax stain on top card and bottom card had no gum stain. ALSO the cards had DIFFERENT centering issues. ALL 5 cards should have the same centering issues, not one shift left, one shift right, etc.

[@kenanderson4982]

Yea that pack was opened already

[@Will87735]

Love to see the baseball rips man!

[@soxbearshwks8988]

as kids 50s-60s we bought Topps bubble gum cards for the gum, i can't even imagine how many of those cards that went through my hands are worth today...oh well😒

[@arthurmabeejr8752]

I recognized Johnny Lewis, he played for the NY Mets during that time. He was very popular at that time, became an all-star player in or around 1967.

[@frankbaumann1084]

Woodeshick, Alvis, and Edwards were issued in Series 3 packs; Lewis & Roznovsky were issued in Series 4 packs. An obviously resealed pack.

[@ronalddeis381]

I was a Kansas City A's fan in the 60s, so yes Doc Edwards!

[@johnsweet8508]

Have put together an almost complete 1965 Set. Great representation of top players in the HOF in there. Also, rookie cards for Joe Morgan, Catfish Hunter, Steve Carlton, and Tony Perez .

[@nickmorgan8434]

Wasn't the Catfish Hunter rookie teamed on the same card as Willie McAvoy I used to have that Rookie card in the early 90s I traded it for a 86 Canseco rr donrus

[@timdiaz1447]

Classic resealed pack.

[@corywilson7354]

Definitely a reseal some of the edges had fading and one of the cards didn't the one cards corners were jacked up

[@frankspicci9994]

Hate to break it to you man but this was Def Re-sealed. (3) cards are from Series 3 and (2) are from Series 4. Not to mention the gum looks like it is from at least (2) different pieces of gum and it should have been much Larger. Also, the 4th card looks like there is Wax on it which should only be on the 1st card near the Pack Seal. On a Positive Note, That's one less Re-sealed pack in the world. I'm glad you didn't Rip the Wrapper. That's the Coolest thing in the Video for Sure!!

[@alexvigil29]

Something seems off on the pack , but yeah those old packs seemed to have a mammoth piece of gum in them , in the 80s when I started collecting it seemed to shift to a smaller rectangular piece of gum Instead of the big Square piece older packs had , also why does this guy not know the stars or rookies of that year when he’s opening a pack that is worth so much , just seemed not right , looks like a scam and you are correct guy got hosed

[@robertgregory7101]

I watched because I was born in 1965, do wish I saved all the baseball cards I bought in the 70s

[@kurts6741]

I've heard of all of them. Max Alvis and Hal Woodeshick are the best players of the bunch. 1965, 5 cents for 5 cards and stale gum. Often some gum residue would get on the cards.

[@bubbag1989]

Look at the corners on some of the cards, I would say this was resealed

[@christophertimmermans7788]

The gum looks like it was from 1965 ha

[@joeford9865]

I was thinking the same thing

[@christophertimmermans7788]

@@joeford9865 I bought some packs of 2020 topps chrome recently that were definitely a reseal. I had over 20 packs, no parallels, all base, and 3-9 duplicates of the same players. There was no sign of tampering with the pack. I think they counterfeited the wrappers themselves so those were new.

[@MikesRetroTradingCards]

And no gum stain on the bottom card, no wax residue on the top card.

I know nothing about baseball, this somehow popped up in my suggested videos. But whoever Hal Woodeshick is, he legit looks 65 years old....lol.

[@PerformanceArt19]

the fact that it's so perfect is a.dead give away it's re sealed

[@jamesharrison9856]

Believe it is resealed. The clear plastic notwithstanding-that could have been put on there by a collector-no collector would have sold the pack unopened. Only someone who had ensured there were no keeper cards. And second, the gum was broken-probably intentionally so the buyer would notice that If it were all reassembled it would not be a complete sheet which used to cover the cards. These along with the other points mentioned would give me pause. But the end result was the same. I started collecting in the 1950’s and it was seldom that I got any cards of good players. Why? Because most were not known to be good until years after their cards came out. Usually it was like any teams roster, you got a rookie card of somebody never tone seen again, a card from some guy in his third or fourth year batting .250, and maybe sometimes you’d get a guy on the rise and who was clearly above average-a Mantle or a Mays. BTW, I used to be rich…and then lost my cards in a move to a new city in 1959. But I was 10 years old and could get some playing cards to put in my bicycle spokes. My point is, baseball cards are valuable only for the interest and joy of the collector.

[@theycallmehoipilloi5495]

5 packs for a quarter. Thanks Dad! Doc Edwards. Didn't even have to see the name. How many Doc Edwards cards did I get that year? Lol! Max Alvis was actually pretty good. That pack was definitely resealed.

[@larry45044]

nice i thought i would at least know one??- what year was it when the mets team was all yellow back ground?? anyone remember?

[@BrooklynAvenue]

Resealed pack with a bunch of worthless scrubs, some cards even appear to have wear. "Sealed packs" are scams, always have been. I can recall challenging someone at at BB card show back in the 80s on this, he then dove into the bottom of the box, opened a pack and then showed me a Mattingly. I said "You just proved you're a scammer! How else did you know where a Mattingly was right off the bat?"

[@frogalleyracing457]

Odd that there wasn't any glue on the 1st card, and the discolored gum would have transferred to the back card, in an original sealed pack.

[@JAMwithGeo]

Hal Woodstock was on the 1967 World Series St. Louis Cardinals that beat the Red Sox.
