Also note that any XMAS Rack Packs with Cards included in series after 1962 ARE NOT Original Vintage XMAS Rack Packs !!!!!!!!! Be aware that over 90% of the XMAS Rack Packs listed on EBAY are NOT VINTAGE WRAPPED packs but rather are they are packs that were packaged much later than the 1960's - meaning the obvious on whether the middle cards could include extremely valuable HOFers or Star cards. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx See my future auctions for the sale to the public of XRPG Professionally Authenticated XMAS Rack Packs of Topps Card from 1952 through 1962 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHistory of Christmas Rack Packs. These packs were manufactured by a third party (Not Topps) with excess Topps cards sometime 40 - 50 years ago in the 1960's timeframe. Only excess cards from 1952 - 1962 were sold by Topps to the third party who then repacked them for Christmas presents/stocking stuffers. The third party company took all leftover cards from Topps including High #'s, Stars, Rookie cards and Commons. Original Christmas Rack packs have three snowflakes in the center of the Christmas wreath with candy cane borders on the extreme East and West edges of the pack. Any deviations from this should raise red flags on the legitimacy of the rack packs. What's in the packs?The packs can include just about any Topps cards made from 1952 to 1962. Each pack contains 12 cards. Six cards showing and six cards hidden in the middle. The six cards in the middle may be commons or they may be star cards or high numbers. They may have issues such as Off Center, Mis-Cut, Stain, Print or other Marks, Scuffing, etc. or they may be near perfect cards. There have been collectors who opened the packs and found nothing of value and collectors that have opened the packs to find cards worth hundreds and even thousands of dollars.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx THIS IS A “FINAL SALE” AUCTION WITH NO RETURNS ALLOWED.
