A very rare sealed 1967 Topps baseball wax pack is now listed for a break! Your shot at a pack-fresh Mickey Mantle is here as we look to make history at Vintage Breaks. See how YOU can join the break,

For 56 years this pack has been sealed. Hidden from the light of day, these 36 cards are ready to make history. Remember when we offered you spots in a 1955 Bowman cello pack and pulled a Mickey Mantle? We're hoping to put another pack-fresh, iconic card in your hands again! A wax pack of 1967 Topps Baseball is now live in our card breaks.

1967 TOPPS BASEBALL RACK PACK BREAK

We have a 1967 Topps SERIES 2 rack pack available. This series is VERY significant! Back in 1967, Topps released their baseball cards in seven different groups, or series. This marketing idea was to keep collectors buying their cards all year rather than building a complete set of cards in April and not buying any more packs for the year. For example, in 1967, in series 1, Topps release cards numbered from 1 to 109. In series 2, Topps release cards numbered from 110 to 196, all the way through the 7ths series in the 609-card set.

This rack pack is from series 2, and we chose this pack to offer you as this is where we may pull you a pack-fresh Mickey Mantle! The Mick is card number #150!

There are other legendary players with cards in Series 2 that we hope to pull. Also in this series is Willie Stargell (140), Steve Carlton (146), and Eddie Mathews (166).

In 1967, Topps produce this rack pack with 36 total cards which you can see in three sections. This means there are 36 total cards in the pack, which is 42% of the series! If there are no duplicates, we'll see over 40% of the series 2 checklist. We certainly can't guarantee a Hall of Famer like Mantle or Stargell, but this is a great chance at pulling a historic card.

Checking the PSA Pop Report, only TWO PSA 10 Mantles exist. The sales report shows the last time a PSA 10 Mick was sold came back in October of 2013 and the price was $68,676.09.

If you're looking to add a potentially high-graded vintage card to your collection or PSA set registry, any card from this break is perfect for your personal collection. Travel back to 1967 when Mantle was 35 and still roaming the field at Yankee Stadium, Johnny Carson was the funniest man on TV, and minimum wage was $1.40 per hour. Imagine that - these cards have been sealed in this very pack since the days when you would have needed to work three hours just to buy one gallon of gas at today's prices! You can see the rack pack in the picture above. The rack has a sweet 29-cent price tag on it, with 3 of the 36 cards showing on the front. 

Not only have we pulled the Mickey Mantle from a 1955 Bowman pack that you just read about above, but we also just recently pulled several pack-fresh Hall of Famers from a 1970 Topps cello pack including Reggie Jackson! Let's watch that break to bring you good luck in the '67 rack!
