Wayne Gretzky RC in this Pack of 1979-80 Topps Hockey?!?!

[@danielkriefall5881]

Great break, fun to watch ⌚️ thanks for sharing

[@DS-ly9il]

I strongly believe this pack was searched and then repacked. How do I know? Above the sticker you pulled 3 cards from sheet 2 and 2 cards from sheet 1. Below the sticker you pulled 4 cards from sheet 2 and 1 card from sheet 1. What’s the problem you ask? It’s my experience that sheet 1 and sheet 2 cards are not mixed above and below the sticker. In other words, the 5 cards above the sticker should be either all from sheet 1 or all from sheet 2. And that holds true for the 5 cards below the sticker, either all are from sheet 1 or all are from sheet 2. Further, both Ron Sedlbaur and Willie Huber are indicator cards for Wayne Gretzky, one of them Was above the sticker and one was below the sticker, again, unless a packing error occurred at the Topps factory, this wouldn’t happen. Also, if you got 2 Wayne Gretzky indicator cards in the same pack and didn’t pull Gretzy then this is a red flag as well.

Sadly that pack WAS resealed. The bottom left was WAY too stuck. True packs will have 2 wax lines in the middle for the rollers. And 99% of well stored legit packs will open with a nice "pop".

[@bmoshareholderappleshareho855]

None of those players were stars. But, this is not an accusation.

[@chicagorilla4983]

Usually the gum is plastered onto a card 🤔 I feel like this pack was searched. Thanks for the rip though buddy, enjoyed it regardless.

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

It could have been for sure. Hard to tell 100 percent though.

[@bouncerslabrealnature9143]

It's unfortunate that this is definitely a resealed pack... sorry 😞.

[@SirManfly]

I just watched a guy open up an entire box of the Gretzky OPC rookie packs and only got 1 Gretzky rookie in the very last pack !! 💸💸💸

[@thewaxpackdad]

Sorry for the whammy pack! I just opened a 75 topps baseball and got skunked! It's all about the journey and excitement opening the unknown. Thanks for sharing!

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

Oh man, that sucks to hear. Yeah, we all run into some stinkers along the way.

[@paullamb9366]

Cool break. I remember cracking a couple boxes of this as a kid. Hit a bunch of Gretzkys. We played all the games, topsies, flipsys etc. Who knew 40yrs later the worth. My brother found my stash I forgot about and sold them. He's been slowly making it up to me but no beater Gretzky yet 🙂

[@briankraus5052]

His name is pronounced Walt "Ka-Chuck"

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

Ahhhh, thanks Brian. I was totally lost on that one, lol. I also screwed up Ken Linseman's name (and that one I knew), but don't tell anyone!

[@dr.options]

Part of the process of opening the vintage packs is that you have to eat the gum....especially if you get a good hit in the pack!

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

Check out my 1981 Topps episode. I ate the gum there. Didn't feel too well afterwards, lol.

[@dr.options]

@@blastfromthepastvintagecards mad respect for the 1981 pack, but it's tradition to do it, despite the inevitable gastrointestinal distress. If it's a dud pack, then you don't have to chew the gum. Any good openings on the horizon?

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

@@dr.options Thanks, I will eat more gum in the future -- I promise!

[@WesAndSherrySportsCards]

Man, I was really hoping you would pull a Gretzky . Nice cards

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

Thanks!

[@Boston_MapleLeafs]

so the first card you flipped over was card #19 the one with wax on it. Gretzky is card #18 in that set. What are the chances omg as there is 264 cards in that set

[@waxpacks]

Well, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Good on you for trying! 👏

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

So true! Thanks Wax Packs.

[@ColoradoRockies1976]

Nobody with a single pack of 79-80 is not going to go through it and look for Gretzky’s rookie before re-sealing it and selling. I know I wouldn’t. Just the thought of hitting a PSA 10 is too tempting.

[@j.d3804]

Opportunity lost. So many interesting players you could learn about and teach some hockey history

[@RaySarasin]

worth watching thanks

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

Thanks Norseman!

[@lordstanleyjr2015]

Just buy a mid grade Gretzky at a card show.Saves you wasting your money on resealed packs.The Howe,Hull or Dryden’s last card might be worth $20.

[@dankelly5150]

Them's the breaks !! 🤑

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

Indeed Dan. Thanks for watching!

[@bmoshareholderappleshareho855]

Buying unopened hockey card packs is like buying lottery tickets. Here's a riddle for you. What does LOTTO stand for? Lose Often To terrible Odds.

[@catdaddy2643]

Give me two honks if you want Tyler to make it

[@m1sterhockey]

just so you know it is pronounced Ken Linzman not Ken Lines man His nickname was THE RAT!!! Thank you

[@steveh6976]

Wax sealed packs are so easily opened and resealed, I would never spend $100 on one.

[@bmoshareholderappleshareho855]

Maybe you buy $100 worth of lottery tickets. The stakes are much higher.

[@amattsorules]

better luck next time

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

Thanks Aaron and thanks for watching.

[@TuPackJimmy]

Wow, sorry! That pack was hard for me to watch, the dreaded 'commons' pack..... Oh well, another day, another TuPacks! (

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

Thanks TuPack -- nice hits on your 81s!

Why people don’t wear gloves is crazy.

What did he say he paid?

[@brianredban9393]

You have to go faster your videos drag on just show the cards

[@DarinsCards]

I completely disagree with you for a pack break of this magnitude.

Talk to much

Bad pack

[@blastfromthepastvintagecards]

Yeah, I wasn't thrilled about this one--especially for what I paid. But hey, thems the breaks.
