A MILLION dollars' worth of unopened, vintage packs! Larry Solomon joins Just Collect to talk about these rare and historic items that includes a sealed 1962 Topps baseball cello pack with Roger Maris showing on top.

Around 25 years ago, Larry began collecting only unopened packs. Not a single card - not one loose card is in Larry's collection! Amazingly, Larry has NEVER OPENED A SINGLE PACK. In the video below, you can see a few of Larry's prized possessions and hear his wonderful story.

Having this 1962 Topps baseball card right on top of a sealed cello pack is nothing short of spectacular! For 64 years, that 1962 Topps cello pack has remained unopened. Think of how much the world has changed since then: no Internet, we hadn't landed on the moon yet, and gas was 31 cents per gallon!
