For what it’s worth, it’s a credit to you that you’re being honest about making an expensive mistake here. I hope you land at least one high grade here, like an 8, and recoup more than expected.
Thx for watching and will do!!! I've got these cards going to PSA (reluctantly) and I have several more pretty cool unveilings in the near future. Cheers!
Man alive, that was a lot of money. Let me know if you ever want the same experience for a whole lot less with West Corp Fun packs...and I can get you guaranteed stars included.
#500 Subscriber Here! Congratulations on a great milestone! I just got 250 myself! Great rip/ it’s not everyday that you see ‘54 cards opened up - even if they are repacks- thanks for sharing and Good Collecting 👍❤️
Greengrass was originally scouted and signed by the Yankees before being traded to the Reds when he was in the minors, so TECHNICALLY, you did pull a Yankee.👍Trying to ease your pain a bit.
When you said $1100 my stomach dropped. In the shape they are all in (between 3 - 6 PSA), you're looking at $10 - $20 per card resale value. The company who puts these phony packs together should be ashamed, and banned from Ebay immediately.
I have to say I agree 99% with ya! My stomach did get uneasy after I did the full opening and I candidly regretted spending that amount on those cards. I tried to remove emotion and just accepted the results. No sense to look back, only forward. Hopefully my videos help some others. I don't like burning money, but I do feel blessed that this 'mistake' won't impact me. Others maybe it would hurt more, so I'm glad I can share. I will send to PSA....I agree the grades will be 3-6's. Keep watching and let's see what they come back with! Cheers
There’s no way I’d bother grading any of those with PSA and expect anything higher than 3/4 in return..maybe SGC would be better in this case and less of a fee. Regardless these can all be found in a two dollar bin at a card show!! Ditch the gloves at those clumsy white ones!! Thanks for providing this video to show the masses just how unscrupulous people cheat others!! Congratulations on 500 subs!!
Thx for the support and I do feel like I'm helping our sports card community by posting these videos and hopefully helping educate others so they don't follow the same pathway of buying these packs. Cheers
You know what - some of those look 7 or 8 I’ve opened these over the years, and gotten psa 8s on some. In 8s, they are 3-figure cards or more It’s fun to get old cards in high grade , even commons.
Fingers crossed!!! I've got the cards loaded up on the PSA website and just have to pack and send their way. As soon as I get them back, I will share the blind reveal! I would be pumped up if I get anything 7 or above. 🐝
Nice video. My main issue with these rak packs is that they are so old and have been handled hundreds of times over the years. The edges of the surface cards take a lot of wear, even though they are still in the plastic rak pack.
Thx for the input. I'm going to do a little research on Mel so I can be better informed - that's why I like learning about some of the greats (and not-so-'greats').
I'm 496 my friend, congrats on your growth! I watched your first opening on the tv as it was recommended to me (That's always nice to know imo that TH-cam is recommending one's videos) ..I was wondering if you would rip again, you asked in that video I think if you should do it again, I was thinking yes, for our entertainment, but honestly no for the return, but it was quite entertaining and cool, unique, never seen this before, so all around I think if you share it, it's worth it, it bought you subs!!
😀 No worries and happy to share these videos. Yep, I would stay away. I'll post the PSA reveal once received. In the interim, I have some good openings that will take place. Cheers🐝
Totally agree!!! This one was not as fun as the 1952 opening. I think my 1972 Topps BBCE unopened box has been the most fun so far! Thx for watching! 🐝
If anything, these holiday repack videos have totally turned me off to such a product. My local shop has these commons for a few bucks each. P. T. Barnum was right, good grief!
You are perfectly fine to not use gloves, if you like to, the Blue or black latex shop gloves are better to handle cards. I have never used them, just wash your hands after you eat some pizza and handle cards. Keep up the videos!
Thx for the advice and support. I should pull out some of those old latex gloves I have in the back of the drawer. I had a box from the old covid days (I used them when I play in the casino (slots). 🙂
@@BeeKeeperSportsCards-sr2mz Much better then the white ones, but again I just wash hands and been grading a very long time. Nothing wrong with either route.
Thx for the comment. I think you are correct. The gloves this time were more awkward and clumsy and I didn't feel too comfortable with them on. I don't seem to have that problem on some of the newer cards - but either way, your advice is appreciated! Cheers
🙄 cmon bro, you must hate money. You can buy real packs that actually have a real chance for cards for what you paid for the xmas rack packs. Like you said go buy all the 4$ commons from these years and save 1100 dollars.
Man, while I appreciate the entertainment you are having 💩 luck. I was thinking of getting some 1965 Christmas packs. Think I’ll follow your advice and not do it.
Thx for watching. Yep, 100% don't do it and I'm glad I can help. I would go to a sports card show and get a vintage year you like, player and/or team. Buy it raw, enjoy and send it to PSA. That 'expense' would be more wise and you end up with a card you like and treasure. Good luck!
Brand new sub today love the oldies ❤

Cool stuff bud. 👍 Have a good week!
Very cool of you to open this for all of us! Keep the videos coming!

So you don't think they're actually authentic and produced in 1954 as is advertised?

3 Red Sox on the front is just screaming scam right away
You know what - some of those look 7 or 8

Are they actually that old or did someone just get some old looking Santa Clause cardboard packaging and correlate them recently?
Ive had my own xmas pack misadventures. But i enjoyed the rip and cant wait for the trolls to come out😅
Fun rip keep em coming!
Thanks for sharing... Mel Parnell was the best player I think

Well, I subbed. Thanks for confirming my desire to stay away from these. Sorry it happened to you.
😀 No worries and happy to share these videos. Yep, I would stay away. I'll post the PSA reveal once received. In the interim, I have some good openings that will take place. Cheers🐝
Wow.
😀 I gather that "wow' was more in disbelief that I bought/opened this item rather than 'wow', a great 12 cards - I tend to agree!!!
@@BeeKeeperSportsCards-sr2mz wow that was expensive. But no more then a PRIZM hobby box.
I know the fun and excitement to open these, but you will not get anywhere near the money you spend
Totally agree!!! This one was not as fun as the 1952 opening. I think my 1972 Topps BBCE unopened box has been the most fun so far! Thx for watching! 🐝
Common knowledge the ‘Christmas Packs’ are modern repacks, essentially fakes.
Totally agree. My 'guess' is early 1980's......but who really knows. Cheers
Has this been conclusively proven?
Scammers that resealed these I would open a dispute for refund. Glad I use paypal they can step in too.
I think you're right. I suspect my purchase was 'buyer beware', so it ultimately falls on me. I'm glad to share these videos with all! 🐝
lot of red sox

Why are you wearing gloves??
He likes to wear them when he rips, it makes him more comfortable
The gloves are not tight and you do more damage to the edges and corners mishandling them
