1967. I was 7 years old and that was the first year I started buying my own cards. Loved the autographs, and the little cartoons above the stats. To me, that is THE year of baseball cards!
me too i have ful set now most came from me keeping from back then i was lucky i got heavy buying them middle serioes on and went super heavy last series .. i got lucky
@@LinkRocks Yeah, agree. Adults were never meant to meddle in this. They ruined it for the kids. I collected from age 10 to 12, then moved on to better things and gave them to a younger kid. That's how it was supposed to be.
My all-time favorite set. The 7th Series was never released on the West Coast, so I ended up paying an outrageous five dollars to get the complete series via mail order. Imagine that! Rod Carew rookie, Tom Seaver rookie, Brooks Robinson, Maury Wills, Jim Bunning. But in 1967, for a twelve year old kid, five bucks was a small fortune!
People pay a ton to try to relive their childhood. But you can't. What's sad is that adults turning a kid's hobby into a business took away this childhood experience from the kids of today.
The term wax back comes from the cards being sealed and leaving wax on the back of the bottom card. I have never seen and cards sealed upside down with the pack sealed on the card face.
Then, there's the whole matter of trust. If someone's father bought a sealed BOX back in 1967 for their child, somehow forgot it, stored in an attic or basement, and it was found 50 years later, who would believe the box hadn't been opened, searched and resealed 🤔. Ditto the packs 🤔
I always was a football fan, so topps football cards were boss. The green backs are the same as 1969 topps but they stuck that darn bubble that destroyed the top card and you couldn't even eat it back then much less years later,lol. Very cool thanks!
I agree. That pack had been opened before. The back of the cards, the overall look of the cards says this is certainly a resealed pack. So many red flags.
It's a 50-50 gamble that the pack was previously tampered with. I would rather pull out my teeth then open a pre-1979 pack. But you go ahead, it is entertaining and I thank you!
this pack has been opened. check out the back of that last card. the corners has wear that is consistent to have been handled alot. plus the green color back differs from the other cards. two different tone green?.....i don''t think so.
The last card is the one most exposed to the elements and also the one with the least protection to the corners so it makes sense that that one looks the way it does.
obvious the pack was resealed... look at the color on the back on the last card... a lot darker and bad corners.... plus the pack itself looks tampered with
I first started collecting in 1967.August.Ed Bresoud of the Mets was the First Card I saw when O opened the pack.I had all that he showed so this may have been my first pack also.
Ok this proves you can't trust grading. The last card in this pack was indeed faded around the edge on the back. Ive never seen a faded card come out of vintage wax unless it was opened.
I think the creases on the back of the pack underneath the folds can not occur unless opened before and repackage. it's something i would of noticed before even buying the pack. freeze @:15 have a look for yourself.
might be a reopen but still takes me back to 9 years old cool to see those cards remember every player he had- doe anyone remember when topps put a scratch off game in there? might have been 68 or 69??
@@Benjib19 - I mean you don't think it's suspect when the front of a pack says it has gum inside and there's no gum? That means it's been opened, searched, cards replaced and re-sealed. A re-seal will open way easier than the original sealing.
@@Benjib19 - My question is why would it bother you so much? You should want people who buy vintage wax to be informed on what to look for if something's been tampered with. Unless you sell bogus packs and don't want your bottom line effected?
You can tell this was resealed pack..too many red flags, the one I noticed the last card had a yellow amber color to it, while the other card had a more vivid green check out the video again
A local shop, now long closed, used to open and reseal wax packs. I suspected something was up when all the cards were in sequential order and the one card missing was the one with some slight value.
Not necessarily. I have a 68 cello pack that has been PSA holdered where the cards are face up from the seal. Topps even issued cards upside down sometimes and facing from the wrong side of the pack through the 80s.
Don’t believe the hype those wax packs are open up prior before they are sent in the mail to retail buyers there is resealed with a warm iron and you can’t tell the difference
I opened hundreds of these packs as a nine year old in 67 and there are two things I'd like to mention. I remember the gum being at the top of the cards, exactly where the gum was in this, but the cards were facing the other way. Meaning, when he opened the pack, it should have been the back of the cards he saw first. Second, the gum was oblong and powdery. It could be age that caused the powder to disappear. I remember the powder being all over the top card. Another thing: what are the chances of getting two Mets cards in a row? Can someone do the math on that?
It is not surprising at all. There were only 20 teams then. You would have had the same question if it had been any of the teams. So it is 4 chances at a 1 in 20 event.
Bob Koca: The formula for finding the probability of two independent events happening in a row is to multiply the two. So to answer my own question it's 1 in 4000. Possible but highly unlikely. It's actually lower because there were other cards in the series like rookies cards and series check lists as well as other miscellaneous cards. I remember the series well. It was my first collection and I had about 500 of the cards. I went on to collect the entire series of cards for the next four or five years.
I made a mistake. 20x20=400, not 4000. So you have 4 chances, at 1 in 400 odds, to get two cards in a row from the same team. Unusual but not that unusual.
"Mostly" commons? Name me one semi-star out of those five nobodies. This is why it's always best to leave unopened packs unopened. Even if you pull a star/rookie, the price you pay for the pack will always be greater than whatever you'd get for the individual cards. It's like how a car depreciates drastically the minute you drive it off a lot.
1:22 opening starts, you're welcome.

I was born in 67 hard to believe only 5 cards per pack.

Thank you so much for sharing! First 67 I've seen opened!
the old cards look so much better than modern cards
That's why I love Topps Heritage.

I really enjoy these videos but man it's tough to see a pack of that magnitude get reduced to about $1.00 worth of "commons."
Yea me too…..but that’s the risk.

Bill hepler like “bro u rly opened that pack” lol
For a collector you sure are reckless with those scissors
Derpfeed yes
xause its a resealed pack. there never was a mantle
Exciting video, thanks for posting.
The term wax back comes from the cards being sealed and leaving wax on the back of the bottom card. I have never seen and cards sealed upside down with the pack sealed on the card face.
Wow, no gum stain on the back card despite nearly 50 years in the pack.
ugh...not good
No one would gamble on selling a pack like that without opening then resealing...
Not everyone is a piece of crap
Then, there's the whole matter of trust. If someone's father bought a sealed BOX back in 1967 for their child, somehow forgot it, stored in an attic or basement, and it was found 50 years later, who would believe the box hadn't been opened, searched and resealed 🤔. Ditto the packs 🤔
2 mets in the same pack ? can't remember that ever happening to me.. Gum ?
Nice love the wax packs I break too
I love the channel man keep rocking

The red flag on being opened prior....should have been the case it was in. ALWAYS SEARCHED PACKS
They will not grade reselaed packs they test for it come on get the facts .
So there it is everyone we opened our 1967 wax pack......for at least the second time.
Nobody in their right mind would sell a pack like that if they didnt already know what was inside. It could be worth a ton.
Vintage cards are the best!
Your channel sucks shit.
Resealed pack

Agree..no gum
From $300 to $10 really quick.
Cool, but that pack was opened before.

Corners look pretty beat for a pack fresh sealed pack...
the sixties were "MY" days!
never heard of a single one of these players, lol
Not even Horace Clarke ? He was a regular for years on the Yankess with over a 1000 hits.
This was as exciting as I thought it would be ......
Totally resealed. The green on the back of each card looks faded.
Thanks for sharing the video.
this pack has been opened. check out the back of that last card. the corners has wear that is consistent to have been handled alot. plus the green color back differs from the other cards. two different tone green?.....i don''t think so.
I was thinking the same thing. The backs don't look right to me at all.
I also agree. I dont trust any packs unless they have been graded by PSA (as long as Steve from BBCE is doing them)
I agree golf, to me was the way the pack opened up just too easy, and the last card did not belong with that pack.
The last card is the one most exposed to the elements and also the one with the least protection to the corners so it makes sense that that one looks the way it does.
its dingy dirty. can u explain the two different shades of green?
nice break!
obvious the pack was resealed... look at the color on the back on the last card... a lot darker and bad corners.... plus the pack itself looks tampered with
WOWWWWWWW A REAL TEAM OF HALL OF FAMERS THERE......... NNNNNOTTTT!
Looks suspicious to me
Dude, your hands are as big as catchers mitts. Those cards look like minis.
Nice break

There’s wax packs are opened and resealed with a warm iron and you can’t tell. Got to be a fool to buy wax packs through the mail or anywhere
That's what I just said, you get from ebay your an idiot

No gum. That pack had been opened before.
frstbse1 at 1:21 look carefully at the pack you can see the gum
I disagree. No gum.
frstbse1 Use your eyes bro. Not saying this video is real, but there is definitely gum.
It's in the pack still frstbse...you can see it
Yep - okay, that brown slab. I'm still suspicious though.
Ed Bressoud gets a moment of fame. I must have gotten his card hundreds of times as a kid and I was disappointed every single time.
You guys blind totally see the bulge in the wrapper also when he puts the pack down you can see the gum!
You're stoned, man. There was no gum.
I see it
chuck briggs it’s there
I saw the gum. I’d rather chew that gum than watch the Mets that year...
Except the gum is sideways. The gum stick always went in straight up and down. Scammed.
Love seeing those old cards. I agree with others that it's not original. Last card back is a bit discolored.
Eddie Bressoud !!!! Wow! Fabulous player.
Yer killin’ me Smalls....
I hadn't realized that Andre the Giant had collected baseball cards
Right away I can tell it was resealed
That pack looked to me like it was resealed as he opened it? Gai was notorious for not being fussy back in the day.
Still nice looking cards
Horace Clarke one of my all-time fave players. I can still do his bow-legged batting stance.
He died in 2020
so how much did you lose out on doing that?
might be a reopen but still takes me back to 9 years old cool to see those cards remember every player he had- doe anyone remember when topps put a scratch off game in there? might have been 68 or 69??
Topps made cards with questions and scratch-off answers in 1964.
He got it graded to be opened
Looks like a bust...$300 down the drain.
Video easily made that back.

Ouch… that pack appears opened/resealed (GAI is not reputable with such things).
Anyway, ‘67 packs are tough - enjoyed the short vid!
There was gum in the pack if u look closely for all thise who said there wasnt
That pack sealed was way more valuable than the common players he got out of it. Plus it should have had a rock hard piece of bubble gum.
youd have to get a mantle, mays, aaron or something like that to make it worth it. bad move on his part.
Pack had gum in it, its called gambling
Horace Clark was the only player I knew. He was actually a pretty good second baseman. Still not worth opening the pack though.
Von Noosh not wrapped in paper it's just brown now
No it wasnt. It was worthless prior to opening because of the holder it was in....always searched packs from that grader.............ALWAYS
I got a full 1967 set from when I was a kid.
Yeah sure. That last card was stained on the back but no others. It was opened before.
Eddie Bressoud ....... played golf with him many times at Castlewood in Pleasanton, Calif. Still alive and kicking ............ great guy.

If one of the backs of the cards is darker than the others then the pack has been resealed.
