busting open old packs

[ipitch]

If you've never opened old packs yourself, this is about the next best thing. This guy opens a 1968 pack, some 1971 packs, a bunch of 1986 Fleer basketball packs, some 1979 Topps hockey packs, and others. Very cool thread.

Fun thread actually- this guy must have tons of disposable income!

I remember buying '86 Fleer basketball packs for $.25 each after they were marked down for not selling. Ah, the good old days!

It might not be the most profitable thing to do, especially if you don't send cards in to be graded, but it sure is fun :)
