I’ve written a few times before (post #1, post #2) about my baseball card habit. I’ve picked up a number of cards since those posts but most recently, yellowsub and I bought four graded vintage packs. I know that you’re not supposed to open them but we bought them to open them, not to preserve value. The packs we bought were: 1968 Topps GAI 7, 1969 Topps GAI 9.5, 1973 Topps PSA 8, 1973 Topps PSA 9. All of them are pictured below. I also took a picture of some of the cooler cards that I found. In addition to the good ones I found, yellowsub found some really good ones too (1969 Clemente among them).

- 1960s Packs
-
- 1973 Packs
-
- 1973 Vida Blue and 1968 Roger Maris
-
- 1973 Carlton/Tiant
We also took video of the pack breaks so I may edit that down and put it up on YouTube if there’s any interest.
Definitely stick a vid up, only pack breaks on YouTube are modern, though there are a few vintage ones like these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp7wtk1eKZo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcKbQwhYZQg there’s actually a fair amount of them on YouTube now that I look. You should go to the show in Valley Forge (well I guess King of Prussia now) this weekend. Think I’m gonna go at least once.
