I have decided not to open the packs. I have just sent one to PSA for grading and I will see what happens.
If it goes well I will send the others for grading, and then sell one of the packs. Maybe one a year or something if all of the packs pass grading.
If one of the packs fails grading, or grades very poorly, I will probably open that one. But I doubt that happens. To my untrained eye the packs look like nobody has ever messed with them, or even moved them around much.
Still we will see what PSA has to say. That's why they make the big bucks I guess.
I didn't know I could get booster packs graded. That sounds pretty reasonable.
Beckett for grading booster packs? I don't see a listing for grading a booster pack on any site.
I found these in a plastic bin with my brother's Space 1889 and some Classic Traveler stuff. It looks like things he quit playing and boxed in the mid 90s. I doubt that box had moved in 20 years.

BGS does not grade packs at this time.
Nope. Elvish Archers was the coolest of the 15.
As far as pack grading, I found PSA. http://www.psacard.com/Services/CardsPacksTickets/
PSA seems legit, but I don't really know anything about this stuff.

I am half inclined to go to GenCon and open them all up.
Out of 7 packs there would have to be enough in there to pay for my flight and hotel.
I sent a message to Star City to see what they say.
My brother passed away a couple of years ago, and I have just now been going through his extensive game collection for the last several days.
So I found seven unopened MTG booster packs. And one that was already opened. I don't know what version they are, but suspect they could be Beta.
I shot a picture front and back of the seven and then closeup of one of them.
I know this is a easy stuff to you guys, but I have no idea what editions they would be. Just a guess that they are Beta.
If you can advise as to version that would be helpful. Also, what next?
