breaking a 1952 Topps baseball pack

I wonder how much the pack was worth un-opened ?

I saw that video posted somewhere the other day as well. That was a nut punch for the guy cracking it, assuming he paid decent money for it (which is almost guaranteed). Never been a fan of unopened wax for this exact reason, not to mention if a pack or box of stuff that old has somehow survived this long, why not recognize that in itself as a feat and save the thing despite what might be inside. The gambling pull is just too great for many.

Been burned enough with newer unopened as well, the stuff with the glossy/UV coatings. Some of that stuff sticks. It's just not worth it to me to save anything unopened unless I never plan to open (Garvey on top packs).

If it has water stains...then it came from one of the barge dumps, heh

Generation Landslide Alice Cooper​

Please clean your plate dear, the Lord above can see you
Don't you know people are starving in Korea?
Alcohol and razor blades and poisons and needles
Kindergarten people, they used 'em they need 'em
The over indulgent machines were their children
And there wasn't a way down on earth here to cool 'em
'Cause they look just like a human at Kresge's and Woolworth's
But decadent brains were at work to destroy
Brats in battalions were ruling the streets scene and
Generation landslide, close the gap between them
And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived those billion dollar babies
La la da da daa
