I would say they were not resealed because how the pack opened cleanly. If someone re-glued them there would be a tear or multiply tears in the wax paper. I would say to you that you got an unsearched pack, it was not unusual for some cards to be reversed in the 1970-1974 topps cards, in fact I opened many that were reversed and sometimes 2 cards would be upside down. Wow!!! What a treat to get taken back to a 1973 wax Topps baseball card opening, thank you sir!

If it had been searched, I doubt the Dave (Davey) Johnson would be there. A PSA 9 goes for about $200.

I agree with others here, every packfrom the 70s has been searched. Steam and an iron can work magic. Don't get suckered out of your money. And yes even hobby boxes are searched.

5th series high numbers

dude.....how many of these came back 10's? the centering on front looks incredible.

One thing I like to do is to smell the pack. Unopened packs should smell like wax or like a box of crayons. While not 100% foolproof, I did “catch” a pack of 1974 Topps baseball that was resealed with glue by smelling the back. P.S. that pack you showed us looked 99.99% legit. Thanks for sharing!

Every card had Bob or Beene, except the Dave Johnson. and all centered? Looks like a reseal.

Always cool to open 70s wax!!!

Wow! Those cards are clean! Beautiful cards.

My favorite year just when I started collecting as a kid 1973 and 74 autograph cards sets they ended up lost over the years so ended up buying back all the sets I had 1972-1985 spent a fortune rebuilding my collection but all mint cards in plastic protectors or albums now in the safe hopefully appreciating in value ?

Very informative. Thanks for refreshing some great memories for me!

Stop biting your nails. I had to put Jalapeneo juice on mine. It worked...good video.

One of the coolest sets ever produced.

"Gum is loose" is a terrible reason. It's gum, it happens.

Love the Break Man! I love Mint 73's!!

Nice cards, look at the centering on those!

Resealed pack.

Don't be fooled out of your money, people, every pack of cards from 1979 on back has been searched. PSA cannot tell if a pack has been opened or not unless it was done by n00bs.

Great video. Goes w/o saying, but that's the Schmidt rookie card year. Not sure if these were in three series, but if that is the case that 3rd series is tuff since moms & pops usually didn't order late into the baseball season since some didn't sell out their 2nd series & brokers didn't bother ordering late into the year. Keep doing those breaks. Rack box next?

WOW! Unopened 1973 pack!? 😮😀 That's incredible!

I'm no expert on unopened wax but who really is. The pack seemed good to me.

Resealed

Thanks for posting it. I'd submit the Johnson and Didier. Centering is borderline for a 9 but they are low pop 9s if you hit one.

Unfortunately no HOF but the cards were great. Love the video. Thanks 4 sharing bro.👍

Would love to see you pull a Mike Schmidt rookie card 😁

Those were some big, nice pieces of gum Topps inserted in the 70's! My heyday was opening junk wax in the mid-late 80's and, I remember, the gum being smaller. Junk wax were a rip off all around the board haha

cards were super sharp...was hoping u would pull the Clemente

Wow 73 are so hard to get good centering nice break

Good video ! More education is always good it sucks ppl have to rely on a group like PSA an becket for authenticating ! I question these so called professionals they have working for them .

Nice condition. Looked legit to me.

Great rip there in great cond.congratz on ur 500 subs.nice team card

Awesome vintage cards!!! New subscriber here👍🏼🐟

Just like with cards, with packs, check the corners first...they should look neatly wrapped like a present. No really, take a sealed late 80s Topps pack and try to open it in such a way that you can look through the cards and get them back the way you found them AND put the pack back exactly the way you found it with the corners still looking as neatly wrapped like a present. TOUGH JOB.

The NYY team card (even though they weren't very good during that stretch) if graded out nicely could be the best card there. The '73 Davey Johnson was one of my favorites as a kid. This was the beginning of seeing some game action photos on cards in the Topps traditional sets. Previously they were almost exclusively still photo shots.

Great cards. . .but what a pack of spares.

My only concern with the pack was no wax in the fold of the upper left corner. However, you usually need to break 2 folds to get the cards out , plus no tiny tear on the inside middle of the wrapper ( which usually happens if you only unfold one inside corner )....I think it was a legit pack 👍

Too bad that pack was already searched

Just found your channel and I liked & subbed. Nice vintage break. Looking forward to seeing more in the future. Thanks for sharing.

I run an eBay business where I buy old wax paper wrappers and re-assemble wax packs. Trust me, when I re-seal the packs you couldn't tell the difference. My foldings skills are 10/10. I source my gum pieces from topps 87 packs; so far no one has called me out. The gum flavour changed a lot between 1973 and 1987. The 1987 gum is more tangy. Haters gonna hate on me, but I've been making a lot of $cha-ching doing it. One customer noticed that the corners were rounded on a few cards. I just gave him a refund. Otherwise, no one has complained. Sometimes for fun, I like to throw in doubles of the same card, or I add an extra card. One day I might sneak in a hockey card into a wax re-wrap to see what the customer says. Sometimes, when I re-wrap with an extra card, it creates a tighter wrap, and looks more convincing. Enjoy your commons! (and no rookies, hehe.) And, mine smell even fresher than the original My smell-trick is a secret I won't reveal. But, the wax scent trick is floating on the internet. (All I can say, is that it involves childrens crayons. Any brand will do.)

Lot of the gum is usually broken

Let me tell you something. my buddies parents owned a convenience store in the 80s middle 80’s and the parents orderedcards wax packs boxes my buddy opened up all the packs to get all the rookie cards and replace them with common cards and then resealed it. How did he reseal those packs?with a warm iron. Plenty of scams out there

the pack was good yes the cards was 1 way and half way into pack they flipped i must have opened more than 500 packs i have a 5000 count of these lol

The "Bobs" pack lol

Way to easy to open, you got scammed

Never seen a pack with all below average players, I think PSA was right, you got scammed.

what source do you use when you buy baseball cards do you use becket do you have a book that became popular in the 2000's? what source do you use when looking at prices? I use becket I see Barry bonds in 1986 traded set goes for 15.00? I spoke to my parent's and we can't find the Cey/Schmidt rookie card I had 2 I can't find one of them so right now i'm holding off selling my card in 2 weeks it maybe different but right now i'm not selling that card. just to let you know.

PSA is not perfect!

At least your not a total cringe with rubber gloves on...

Great content! I have watched many of your videos and they are dope. Great information. They have definitely helped reignite my love for the hobby. If you get a chance check out Another Hollis Build and lemme know what you think. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks and keep up the great work! 🔥

You need to put the cards right into a card saver and handle them more carefully and send them to PSA if you think they might grade a 9 or a 10.

I think it was legit.

why is it 2019 and your just getting around to opening these cards? did your parents purchased the cards in 1973 or did you recently buy them? oops you struck out No Cey and Schmidt Rookie, no Ryan , No Gibson, No Brock, No Clemente, No Carlton, No Hank Arron , No Rose , No Munson, Palmer, no Gossage, No Mays No Hunter, no Jackson, Bench ect. the best card you have is the Garrett card. for what it's worth if the graders are in your home town and you can get to there place to get your cards graded that's fine but if you have to send the cards out all you have is commons which are about 2.00 but this is a 2015 Becket so the prices went down. in 2015 Becket card 482 Rickey Henderson rookie 40.00 near mint , mint 80.00 1993 Derek Jeter Rookie card 98 10.00 near mint, Mint 25.00 card 615 Schmidt/cey excellent 75.00 near mint 150.00 in the most recent Beckett Joe Adell on the cover card 482 Rickey Henderson rookie 40.00 near mint, Mint 80,00 1993 Derek Jeter Rookie card 98 6.00 near mint , Mint 15.00 the new Beckett starts in 1980 your cards have no value there old there nice to look at but I wouldn't worry about the grading my guess is there about 2.00 dollars a card?

Get a manicure, dude. Holy cripes.
