The last original real unopened 1968 packs I ever saw were bought by Mr Mint Al Rosen who bought two boxes from a lady who owned a candy store in Mississippi. She would put the extra boxes in the attic after each season. She sold all her extra boxes to Rosen when she closed the candy store and retired. In that overflow of boxes were two 1968 boxes. I watched him open those boxes and he found two Ryan’s and 4 Bench rookies. I bought a Ryan and 2 Bench cards. The one Ryan he kept was perfect centered and it was PSA graded 10.
@@danevertt3210 hey I'm not the one who overpaid for a bunch of searched cardboard bucko. That attitude is what gets you a bag of chips and not much else.
Anyone else CRINGE when he RIPPED the 68 wrapper?? That wrapper was actually worth DOUBLE what all the cards from both packs were combined. I always carefully open vintage to save the wrappers =)
My first year collecting as well but managed to hang onto them. No slabbing or sleeves back then but the held up pretty well in a Converse Sneaker box until I learned how to take better care of them.
Sadly a lot of vintage packs have been searched over the years. Even the "junk wax" era packs were searched back in the day by people thinking certain cards would increase in value. I'd only buy from reputable sellers and packs that have been certified not to have been searched. That lessens your chances of getting ripped off. It sucks that greed bled into the hobby.
Woody Fryman lived about ten minutes from me when he was alive. I had a few of his cards. He lived in Ewing Ky. A town of about 400 people. He was a farmer after baseball.
As I recall most old packs that were legitimate had stains on the back of the card that was in contact with the gum. Cards that do NOT have this residue but are in contact with the gum are probably NOT the original card inserted into this pack from the factory.
The rojas damage looks like it was caused by the gum to me. A stick of gum has moisture in it no matter what..that's why the sticks dry out and break over time. The card absorbs the moisture from the gum. Not always, but it definitely happens. Certain years are notorious for dark rectangles on the back of cards where the gum was touching.
I actually bought 1968 packs for 5 cents back in the spring of 1968 Willie Mays was the big card that people wanted back then in the first series. Little did I know in my 9 year old hands I was holding a pack of baseball cards that would go for $500 dollars 50 years later.
1976 has the Eckersley, Randolph and Guidry rookies, Brett and Yount's second year cards and Aaron's last card. The 660 card set came in one series. Later on in the year, 44 traded cards were added throughout packs.
Earl Williams and Larry Lintz almost look like a "Make Your Own Topps Card" & Joe Verbanic and Gary Bell look like "College Yearbook Photos Card". I would also refuse to allow the Gary Sutherland photo BUNTING on any card of my likeness. GREAT VIDEO!
1976 was an off year for Rookie Cards. Dennis Eckersly and Willie Randolph are the best. 1968 had the Nolan Ryan and Lou Pinella Rookie Cards, as well as some interesting error cards. i just discovered your videos. Love to watch you opening old packs. I was a huge collector in the 1980s. Spent all my paper route money on baseball cards. I also have a holy grail story of finding a Redwing boot box full of cards at a flea market for $20 which contained almost month condition cards including stars and rookies from late 50s to '74. Among the great finds in that box were two Mike Schmidt rookies (one of which was sadly a bad cut) and a Nolan Ryan rookie. At one time i had every complete Topps set form 79-87 as well as most Fleer and Donrus sets 81-87. Unfortunately sold off most of my stars, rookies, and sets trying to survive college. But, I still have about 35,000 commons from the 1950s through the late 80s.
start again ive been collecting since 75 my favorites are the 71s black set and I found a box of cards for 20 dollars and only had 10 bucks I was able to get half of them about 350 cards 2 were a 59 mantle and a 66. I have found all mantles except the 52 . I still collect mostly the 50s now
i can tell just by the way these packs opened they were altered. as well as not having any sort of wax or gum residue. my question is, without having opened them, how did PSA spot it? the wax did look perfect so maybe they were repos
My first major collection was the 1976 set. The '68 Cookie Rojas card has wax staining on the back. Looks like the wax was forced into the card stock when it was resealed
Kit Young had unopened boxes back to 1972 at one time. 1971 or before boxes or packs are likely resealed as it’s 99% unlikely that they are original unopened.
Both those packs were resealed.When you look at the back of the packs you should see marks from roller wheels, straight lines going across the pack on the back. What i noticed was that the packs you have were flat sealed no roller lines. You got duped. If you know who you got them from you should get your money back. If that happened to me, that would be grounds for a nose bleed. They don't expect people to know how these packs are sealed.
Found the reseal comment! Like clockwork on every pack opening there is always one (sometimes more) the person was stupid for buying the pack because of an obvious searched and resealed.
but you can't know who resealed them when. Might have been five buyers ago. I remember as a kid I traded a bunch of good cards to a dealer at a flea market for some older pack. Got ripped off. Unfortunately, the hobby is 90% a ripoff
Such a shame to even think that people would even alter packs like that. We sell only graded, unsearched and sealed packs! Nice knowing you are able to open packs that are secure!
@@mikeplate For sure! For our site, we only sell cards/shares in graded, unsearched, and sealed packs! They can be more money, but it is worth knowing that you are dealing with pack fresh cards that haven't touched the air in years! Here is a link to our website: www.justripit.com Let me know what you think! :)
Reading a lot of the comments they are pretty much dead on. The chance of packs not searched are resealed, unless authenticated or if you owned them to begin with, are 50-50 at best. If that's the case, a person might as well just by the wrapper as it's cool and worth something.
Mike, around the 4:12 mark of your video, when you look at the top edge of the pack, it seems the wax is jutting out to the side on the left, whereas the other corner looks tight and tucked. I'm no pack expert, but that struck me as fishy and perhaps a sign it had been resealed. Also, most of the wax packs I've seen opened from 40-50 years ago usually pop open easily, but both gave you a little bit of a battle. Shame the Rojas has wax, gum and water damage, but still fun to open older packs. I have a stack of unopened 1978 packs that I love because of the pack graphic of the catcher. Happy collecting!
Seriously. Would love to hear from a PSA expert on how they identify resealed packs. Although that’s probably super confidential to them, as it would give tips to the ones doing it, in how to better improve their skills.
Wax packs from that era were sealed with rollers that left identifiable marks that are obvious under high intensity lighting and magnification. Packs that are resealed with irons or other other heating devices destroy the roller marks. They can tell if the original wax seal has been tampered with.
The good old days of honesty are long gone. People would screw you out of a penny all day long. Where ever there is money.. there is a thief. Very Sad!
Enjoyed watching you open these despite them being "altered." That stain you are looking at on Rojas is from the gum. Pretty common for packs that have been sitting for that long. What did you end up doing with the wrappers and the cards?
I bought on Ebay a 1977 Topps pack about a year ago. $44.00! I got it, opened it, and clearly it was opened and resealed by the seller. I was pretty upset. The cards were common players but 1, Rick Miller, Red Sox, was really bad. Creases and dents all over. The seller refunded me and let me keep them. Buyer beware!
Frank Delcastillo yup. Lots of people like to comment that in situations like that “we got screwed” I figure we know what we’re buying into it’s a shot to see if something worthwhile pans out. No risk no reward.
I haven’t posted much at all; but I have spent the last couple years buying over 100 packs from 1975 to 1959 I’m going to start opening. Thanks for sticking around!!
1968 Topps baseball 1st series. If you still have the '76 Luzinski I'm interested trying to put a high grade Phillies set together also who has a CENTERED 1976 Topps baseball #373, Johnny Briggs a most elusive card for some reason YES I'm a collector of commons, I finally found a gorgeous snow free 1957 Topps baseball #310 Max Surkont from the tough 4th Series.
Check it out, I need a second opinion. I have a box of 90 fleer (I know.. Worthless) With that said would you open them knowing the best card in the set is worth 10 bucks or wait another 30 years and hope everyone threw the garbage 90 fleer sets away? Anyone?
Open them and be done with it or sell the unopened box now and take what you can get. When the world ends there will still be cards from the 90s . There were so many made they could survive anything. Lol
@@arthurdietrich5182 I did. Right after I wrote this actually.. The cards were pretty nice from a non monetary kind of angle. There are a few that are worth a few bucks and I pulled most of them and in surprisingly good shape, nice cuts, a few error cards, etc. It was worth the fun of opening them anyway. Even though 95 percent were worthless.
I'd be interested in buying the Phillies cards, the 68 pack should basically almost fall open. At least they left a decent Rick Dempsey in the 76 pk, also the centering on the 76 cards u have is awesome! All the 76 pks I've ever opened were extremely worse than those
Repacking packs was big in the 80's on the wax packs, then the 89 upperdeck with the low numbers, shame people gotta scam someone on things like this. Would have been awesome to pull something with more then the packaging out
....Better pro tip.... Skip this video all together.Time wasted that will be missed later. This was like being at a funeral , with just you and dead guy. R I P. Please. !!!
If you don’t know anything about the 1976 Topps set,then you haven’t been collecting long or don’t know much about collecting..if you did,you would know that you have a couple of cards in that pack that would probably grade mint 9 or even better.Which is tuff as shit to find in those cards..
I'm pretty sure I have that Rennie Stennett card. The Paul Blair one as well. I used to ride to a store called Stop n Go in Akron, Ohio (Ellet) when I was 8, 9, 10 yrs old and get packs of cards. This is pretty cool.
Isaac Smith I’m aware of the reason why they might provide that designation but tough to understand why. The seals were tight and rolls were consistent, no additional adhesive for reseal...tough to know why they gave it that review....
I started buying baseball cards in 1959 at age 6 and I knew that the pack was bogus because every pack I ever opened, the back of the cards would always face the sealed side of the pack. I can't believe the thugs and thieves that have infested what was once was so innocent and fun. Welcome to the world circa 2021.
I am currently building a 1968 set, and I got completely duped on a Ryan rookie. Never again will I make a high dollar card purchase on line EVER again. Not a chance ❗️
You just cracked open two real packs in this video. They all have perfect corner and the gum matches. The damage to the Cookie Rojas card by the gum matches up. How did PSA render them altered?
There should have been a noticeable wax stain on the front of the Earl Williams card and a gum stain on the Stennett card. Also, the pack suddenly became hard to open halfway through.
You struck out Brotha. No good cards in those packs. I think there is packs of 1952 Topps out there that are being hidden from everyones eyes so they cannot be seen.
Hell, even if it was altered its still a decent pack ...Luziniski,, No neck williams, Rennie Stennett 7 for 7 , ...this reminded me that i actually liked the 76 set....
DJQuikSilva appreciate the opinion. Besides 1st series Adam Bomb you won’t find any meaningfully and ‘all of them’ over $1,000. The last PSA 10 GP I bought was $235.
Hey bro, I'll gladly take those cards if you are serious about sending them out. I just subscribed to your channel.. Whoops, I misread the year thinking you had just opened these. My fault.
Not once of those cats who rifles through packs of unopened cards looking for one(s) that will put my kids through college, buy me a million dollar home & take me around the world, twice. 🙄 That said, it does suck when the best player card in a particular pack is unfortunately the one with the most severe damage. And in this case that being the 68’ ‘Cookie’ Rojas card. Nonetheless, I very much enjoyed watching this & only wish you would upload more video’s, my friend. Cheers!!!
Tee Dee I never really thought about opening more. I have lots of vintage packs normally I just grade them with PSA. I guess I could start opening more and posting them. Thanks for the feedback!

Pretty sure that's a pop 1 too. 1968 Ryan/Koosman RC has always been my grail card. Someday I will get a PSA Authentic or a PSA 1.
Just for a follow up the one he sold me graded PSA 9. The centering was 58/42 and perfect otherwise.
The first pack was resealed with glue. The second was resealed with an iron
Good call. That sucks.
I have a crap ton of unopened packs of various years that I fear, have probably already been opened
@@danevertt3210 I hope you like low grade commons because yer fixing to get a whole lot of them with THAT attitude

Anyone else CRINGE when he RIPPED the 68 wrapper?? That wrapper was actually worth DOUBLE what all the cards from both packs were combined. I always carefully open vintage to save the wrappers =)
Yeah , they need the wrappers to make up some more fake packs
Dude, it is SO EASY for someone to restick and glue those. That is what they are likely telling you, it was at one point opened.
The 68 pack has been ironed on
1968 was the first year I collect baseball cards and I have no idea where all those cards went! The cards may be gone but the memories still remain.
My first year collecting as well but managed to hang onto them. No slabbing or sleeves back then but the held up pretty well in a Converse Sneaker box until I learned how to take better care of them.

Facts. I buy old packs at the baseball shop mostly and marcari sometimes but those old packs do leave stains on the cards.
The wax will leave a residue besides the gum. Both of these packs have been searched and rewrapped.
The rojas damage looks like it was caused by the gum to me. A stick of gum has moisture in it no matter what..that's why the sticks dry out and break over time. The card absorbs the moisture from the gum. Not always, but it definitely happens. Certain years are notorious for dark rectangles on the back of cards where the gum was touching.
Yep. I got a randy Johnson rookie card with a gum stain...lol
I'm not saying that wasn't re-sealed but the Rojas definitely looked like gum damage. It also wasn't on the correct side of this pack to be heat/wax.

The 76 pack has been opened. The gum is broken and it was hard to open pack.
Tough packs. Greg Luzinski not bad. Luzinski's nick-name was "The Bull"🐃
By the way, from 1974 on, there was no different series.

Thanks for opening the packs for us all to see.
Thanks Max, I have a bunch of other packs I might start opening on a regular basis. We’ll see!
Beautiful cards! Love that Luzinski and the Gary Bell!
1968 1st series. 5 cards for a nickel was standard for a few years.
while opening your 76 pack you said you don't even know what series these are they didn't have
Was thinking the same thing. Series stopped in 73.

Topps released every card at once starting in 1974.

@@jace15076 The corner folds looked pretty suspect to me as well, from what I could see.
Older packs are very IFFY I suspect a great majority of "Unopened" pack sellers open these switch out the good cards and reseal. IMO a waste of money.
Estate sales etc. That's how I got some old packs and pulled my 1954 Bowman Mickey Mantle card.
Mini old packs sell for $5,000 or more
Could be stained from the gum after 50 years
I always assume all single packs are searched or the box they came out of has been searched.
The good old days of honesty are long gone. People would screw you out of a penny all day long. Where ever there is money.. there is a thief.

Altered is because it’s fake or resealed.
Isaac Smith I’m aware of the reason why they might provide that designation but tough to understand why. The seals were tight and rolls were consistent, no additional adhesive for reseal...tough to know why they gave it that review....
1976, George Brett, Mike Schmidt, Nolan Ryan; BTW the last Topps set issued in 'series' was in 1973.
Joseph Amendolare thanks for the feedback on that; I wasn’t sure which year they transitioned from series to full set runs.
Good Video !! Sorry for the bad luck !
Both are resealed packs.
Both packs searched. A fool and his money…well, you know the rest
It also looked like the cards in the 1968 pack were facing the wrong direction.
I started buying baseball cards in 1959 at age 6 and I knew that the pack was bogus because every pack I ever opened, the back of the cards would always face the sealed side of the pack.

Altered means opened and resealed, you got hustled
They were marked altered? so he knows that.
that was brutal
And you did fine my bro.... Though let me tell you that one could only wish those were vintage Garbage Pail Kids packs !!!
It's from the gum
That's what I thought right away, but maybe burn bubbles from excessive heat, eh?
Any 68 card ill take
I am currently building a 1968 set, and I got completely duped on a Ryan rookie. Never again will I make a high dollar card purchase on line EVER again. Not a chance ❗️
You just cracked open two real packs in this video. They all have perfect corner and the gum matches. The damage to the Cookie Rojas card by the gum matches up. How did PSA render them altered?
There should have been a noticeable wax stain on the front of the Earl Williams card and a gum stain on the Stennett card. Also, the pack suddenly became hard to open halfway through.
68 has Nolan Ryan and Johnny Bench rookie cards
Also has mantle 68 the last year he actually played a full season. The 69 mantles were tribute cards with his final stats.
hoping for more videos of your collection. Thanks.
There were no series in 1976
You struck out Brotha. No good cards in those packs. I think there is packs of 1952 Topps out there that are being hidden from everyones eyes so they cannot be seen.
What????
I'm sure they are there are collectors that are sitting on that stuff
What did this cost you???
I have a bunch of packs between 1980-1987 that I want to send in
It’s gum residue on the back of the card that you first checked
Anytime I've cracked an old pack there's always one card that's jacked from the gum,always.To not have this,This to me makes me think something fishy.
You ripped the '68T wrapper!! Be carefully!!
Not a single semi star is odd...I'd bet they were opened at one point
"I don't even know what series this is" --I don't believe that was a thing with baseball cards until the 90's
Actually, baseball cards were usually issued in different series up until the early 1970s.
“You just got garbage lol”
I hate it when I see people pay there hard earned money for this trash that has already been opened in the past.
Hell, even if it was altered its still a decent pack ...Luziniski,, No neck williams, Rennie Stennett 7 for 7 , ...this reminded me that i actually liked the 76 set....
That’s from the moister in the gum bleeding into the card
PSA is doing their job...The glue on that 1st pack,and a piece of gum that is missing pieces in the 2nd pack 😂😂
Rick Dempsey & greg luzinski👍👍👍👍
Was searched all dayyyyy longgggg!!!
Both were tampered with
Only 5 cards? Crazy.
I am trying to collect the 1976 topps set.
Not sure why you would want that trash
My seven year old actually posted it, so you’d have to ask him.
@@eljoe1235 nice looking set. Kid is smart
That set is very affordable, Complete that darn thing. What are you waiting for.😊
Yea its the gum being ironed on a card lol funny seeing people guess its just the gum
When I opened my pack of cards, the gum was stuck to the back of the rookie Ricky Henderson.
You actually would have been better off with Vintage Garbage Pail Kids...PSA 10’s of any of them sell over $1,000.00
DJQuikSilva appreciate the opinion. Besides 1st series Adam Bomb you won’t find any meaningfully and ‘all of them’ over $1,000. The last PSA 10 GP I bought was $235.
PSA could be wrong..They are very inconsistent in the grading..
Hey bro, I'll gladly take those cards if you are serious about sending them out. I just subscribed to your channel.. Whoops, I misread the year thinking you had just opened these. My fault.
Tough luck
1968 design is sublime. The Cookie Rojas is probably the highest valuation card of the five.
Thanks for the clip ⚾
Not once of those cats who rifles through packs of unopened cards looking for one(s) that will put my kids through college, buy me a million dollar home & take me around the world, twice. 🙄 That said, it does suck when the best player card in a particular pack is unfortunately the one with the most severe damage. And in this case that being the 68’ ‘Cookie’ Rojas card. Nonetheless, I very much enjoyed watching this & only wish you would upload more video’s, my friend. Cheers!!!
Tee Dee I never really thought about opening more. I have lots of vintage packs normally I just grade them with PSA. I guess I could start opening more and posting them. Thanks for the feedback!
I got to rip both years back then..😊
Why is there only 5 cards in the pack?
I thought there was at least 10 cards per pack from what I recall.
@@kleffner123456 Wax packs contained 5 cards until 1970.
Definitely appears to be resealed. Nice cards for 76. The 68 packs came with only 5 cards plus the stick of gum. Thanks for sharing!
What makes you say they were resealed??
Do you still have the Luzenski?
i have the 1968 Topps complete set .
I’m clenching just watching those packs stuffed into the wrap. I can imagine the corners of the cards being bent.
That's how they do them on all of the parks done by machine
lmao psa could just open the pack for themselves take the good stuff then be like "ya altered"
That is from the gum that is so old.
