Could this contain the first ever GEM MINT 10 Nolan Ryan Rookie?

It'll cost you 3-grand to find out. (Plus the grading fee, of course.)

There was retail card shop in North Houston about 5-6 years ago, maybe longer, that had a '68 rack with Ryan on top. They wanted $1,200 if memory serves me correctly. As far as I know, it was still there when the shop closed and the owners went into the wholesale card business.

Maybe dude or zardoz remember it.

With many racks, you could search through the rack without opening it. The edges would be pretty beat if this was the case.

this looks like the rack i sold a year ago fopr 800 on ebay.
not the best buy it now price but i dont think at that time
it would have fetched more than a grand.this gai pack
grading is a nice idea but the buyers are out of control.

Toppsgun -- Yes, I remember that Rack Pack well. Jim Giamattio (sp?) was the owner of the shop. I recall he want more like $5,000 for it.

How many Nolan Ryans are possible in a pack like that?
Somebody paid .29 for that pack,One of the most popular sets of the 60s.

Amazing

Feeling down last night, I dug out my unopened packs (we all know there's something cathartic about looking at old unopened material) and that's the first thing I saw..a '68 rack I traded for a long time ago. I think the dealer's sticker price on it was $80! I didn't realize the grading of packs had made that much of a difference. I would hate to part with it but if it's a 9 and it sells for close to what this one did, that'll buy a lot of groceries! I have some '70 cellos--nice tight packs-- but the boxes are a little scuffed so would they not grade very high?
