Advice on unopened packs

[Sheld505]

Looking to buy some unopened packs from 1975-1986. Anyone know of reputable sellers?

Thanks!

Buying by the box is usually more reliable than buying by the pack.

Sometimes, often times, individual pack sellers are the more suspect, especially because it's so easy to create poor odds by box busters who once they get a hit, just leave the remaining packs for resale, making the odds less, or doing the famous "microwave reseal" on packs of those areas only sealed by heated wax and pressure where they warm up the pack to open it, then warm it up again to reseal it.

Luckily the one problem you won't find with packs of that era are "expired redemption cards" :)

So, getting packs, I'd say full boxes or maybe cello packs (rack packs are easy to search), 'tho cello packs often were easy for some to predict based on card sorting patterns, I don't think anyone has mastered sequencing for Football cards of that era.

I don't know of any reputable sellers, but generally those with the most inventory, as opposed to the person with one or two packs or boxes, that has solid quantities are probably safer more as a guideline than a rule.

Tag sales & flee market...I've paid $50.00 for boxes & boxes of packs & complete sets....

Made my money back on the sets & opened the packs for fun.

Have a couple dozen Barry Bonds, Will Clark, Frank Thomas & Sammy Sosa rookies from that.

Shipping on the older products in bulk will kill the investment.
