    I was looking at the 76 cello with Eckersley on back I did not bid to aggressively because in the MHCC auction they had 2 sweet cello packs 74 psa 8 with Ryan on top and 76 psa 9 with Ryan on top that ends this weekend, I was saving my cash for those 2 packs.
    obviously after BBCE auctions ended I did not get the 76 cello to make matters worse MHCC pulled both of the ryan cellos from their auction and now I was left with 0.
    had I know the 2 cellos from MHCC would of been pulled I would of bid much more on the 76 cello in BBCE.

    It was inevitable that those cello packs at Mile High would be pulled. FYI, this would be the pack you want.... collectauctions.net/1976_Topps_Baseball_Cello_Pack___Nolan_Ryan_Back__-LOT54075.aspx

    I won that one at Collect...and agree with you 100%.

    Speaking of OPC, I won the PSA 9 1978 wax pack with Murray face out on back.

    Prices were fairly strong overall I thought for the most part.

    Nice Tim. I actually got one of these in a CU Group Break about 8 years ago. I've been meaning to send it into PSA ever since. It always amazed me how honest Steve was when breaking a box for us. He could have easily switched it out for a different pack and nobody would have been the wiser.

    Very nice! That's a beauty! Those group breaks were the best!

    Congrats.... and I agree, that was a really nice price. I was surprised that the Rose on back pack sold for more than the Ryan. Did you win that one too?

    No, I passed on that one for a fellow collector who is a Rose fan.

    I thought the 1975 baseball wax box went a little low for how tough those are

    I agree with that! It was my item and I was hoping for more considering Heritage Auctions sold one for $15,000 more last year. I'm very unhappy with the results.

    The HA auction for 45K was an outlier (one sold a month after that one on HA for 35K). This is not a 45K box. I know the regular sized 1975 wax packs are much tougher to find but 30K+ for one seems right to me. That's $833 a pack and it's not like these packs are especially rare.

    I hate to admit this but I cannot remember the members name that setup some of them. Are they still active?

    I hit nice cards on multiple breaks. One was the 75 minis.
