Maybe I Should Sell My Unopened 1970 Kellogg's Packs?

I found that the pack-busting site vintagebreaks.com has a 1970 Kellogg's six-card pack available.  Once six people pay for a random spot the pack will be opened.  The cost per card - $30.  For those too tired to do the math, that's $180 for the pack. 

I have a decent number of packs, but I don't think that I've paid more than $30 for any pack.  Should I be selling my duplicates to these folks?

The pack has Tommy Harper on the front.  Harper is card #74 in the set.  Based on that I am going to guess that the only stars possible in the pack are as follows - Harmon Killebrew, Bob Gibson and Joe Morgan.  Denny McLain was a star then but he's not considered a star now.


This is the pack from my collection, not the one on the website.

Give me your best guess as to who will be the six cards.  I will follow this and let you know which six cards are pulled from this pack.

My guess - Harper, Harrelson, Lolich, Perry, J., Gibson, Bunker.  Cards that won't be in the pack - all cards from #1 to #59.

I need to get my old backup file restored so I can look at the 1970 Kellogg's sheets.

    Wow. $180 for a pack? If I had these packs and could get $180 for each one, I'd sell them... then turn around and buy a complete set.

    They've got a great business model if there are people willing to pay $30 for a 1 in 6 chance of taking that Tommy Harper. What a great idea. Sell that and buy an entire set.

    If they sell for $180 I wonder what their price is for buying packs?

    Mark - we both had the same range, but we both only got a few correct.
