If you have seen these repackaged Topps baseball cards whose vintages (exclusive one to another) span the issues 1953 through 1962. They replicate standard three-chamber rack packs, but all of these were repackaged by an independent (non-Topps) entity. Today, of course, cards of this vintage would pose prohibitive costs to prepare. The compilation of these, on the other hand, almost certainly dates to the late 1970s or early '80s. Uniformly, they're all presented as Christmas merchandise, but with no indication of manufacturer or retailer. All are soundly packaged with pristinely fresh retail mounting headers, and the cards contained in each of the chambers are virtually immobile. Therefore, you're unable to maneuver the contents to determine any cards other than those on the top and bottom of each chamber. It seems that each of these rack packs holds a total of twelve cards (although this can't be guaranteed). And finally, it appears that all of these cards are minimally EX/MT; in all likelihood, they originally circulated through their normal retail channels (per vintage) and then selected (on the merit of condition) for this market campaign.

In other words these packs were put together during the 1970's or 80's as a promotion by some one or business to sell during Christmas. The cards that are contained in them are EX-MT or lower condition because the higher grade cards were probably picked out to be sold as premium cards. The cards in these Christmas Packs are the left overs package into a three tier rack pack..
