Managed to grab this case for what I believe was a steal! It’s a little damaged but hoping the contents won’t be as bad. Debating on opening it or leaving it as is, those accessory packets are the real steal!

Open it, usually MCIs have something spoil, especially 60s ones

Isnt the normal weight on these around 25lbs?
If thats correct and the one you bought weights 17lbs it might be in a bad condition i would think.

Didn’t know the normal weight of them, probably means most if not all of the meat units are nothing but rust now. I’ll probably open it and salvage what I can before it all deteriorates
Re: Scored an unopened case of 1966 MCI’s!
it was listed with a buy it now of $500 and i thought about buying it then just to find out how it fared.
at the very least your fruit is toast except maybe an applesauce
glad you snagged it even cheaper

If the accessory packs survived in good shape, you can easily make your money back, if you end up with a pile of popped/bloated cans. The fruit cans are typically time bombs.
