About the Packs We Opened for this Auction
This pack comes from a collection of 100+ packs from a single-owner collection of Topps, Bowman and Fleer packs started in childhood and built with a passion all through a lifetime of collecting. While more than 100 packs were graded by PSA (and sold in our April 2024 Auction), the pack offered here was NOT encapsulated after review by PSA. While the offered pack and the ones like it in this auction may have been rejected due to physical attributes that differ from factory sealed packs--and may in fact have been previously opened and even repacked with other cards--we at Rockhurst thought it would still be interesting to collectors to have them opened and offer the contents and wrappers in this auction. Further, we thought it important not to let packs of this nature circulate as "sealed" packs. We hope you enjoy reviewing and bidding on these treasures as much as we have bringing them to you.
