I like having perfectly mint cards, but I am also realistic to know, they won't all be, and the older you go, the less perfect cards are going to be. That said, opening a pack, even if it's an older pack, I'd expect cards in good condition, and the pack of 1991 Studio baseball cards I am opening today, obviously ended up hitting a hard surface with a corner at some point in the last 30 years.
Somehow, the puzzle piece is the FIRST one that I have in my collection for the Rod Carew puzzle. Not sure how that happened, but it is what it is.
Man, those dinged corners are something rough, but only dupes were Harper, Scioscia and Santiago so a successful pack otherwise.
