This is a nice example of a unique Christmas-themed rack pack, an unusual aspect of still-in-package cards that surfaced in the hobby about 15 years ago and have been sold intermittently over the years, most typically on eBay. Thought to contain 12 cards, the Christmas Racks are not typically thought to have been a Topps product, but rather cards that have been repackaged and sold through the hobby. While the cards are usually in nice condition, they are not thought to be uncirculated, with the cards in this instance apparently about Ex-Mt. This rack shows Hal Brown, Ray Jablonski and Mel Roach on the front and Smith, Janowicz and Collins on the back. This rack, with the “From Santa Claus” label tag, is largely in Ex-Mt condition, with just a wee bit of wear visible to the candy cane handle joint.
