I don't, but a lot of people do including BBCE in the past. I did forget about the show and you are correct that is probably where they are.

<< <i>So this is a cello box? Stay away, any pack with Payton is long gone. I don't know this particular seller but I would say the chance of hitting a Payton RC is little to none. Perhaps Summer of Sam could shed some light on pack sequencing better than I. The shrink wrap on that box meas nothing. It wasn't until the early 90s when companies starting embedding their brand name into the shrink wrap which prevented this kind of searching. >>
You have to trust the source ... and I believe most people here trust Steve to know the packs were from that original box. Also, I believe most here know that shrink wrapping on these boxes did not come from the factory and Steve likes to shrink wrap boxes he authenticates (I'm guessing to protect the boxes.)

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Do a search for group rips and you will see that there have been quite a few over the years. The biggest one I remember was when a case of 1975 Topps Minis was purchased from BBCE for something like $25,000 a few years ago.

Perhaps you should do some research about the seller before making accusations you can't back up. We did a board rip of '76 cellos from BBCE 6-9 months ago and guess what? A Payton RC was pulled, and I believe it may have even graded a 9.
<< <i>I wouldn't trust any "unopened" material anymore. Even the best dealers of this stuff are so savy with pack sequencing or have been sold the stuff by someone else clever with it, especially cellos, that there is no way in hell you are going to get any nice hits. Does anyone else remember the way to spot the pack with the '87 Fleer Bonds? Just my experience. >>
Since you're new here I don't expect you to know this already, but Steve's (BaseballCardExchange) reputation is beyond reproach. I personally have pulled a Larry Bird/Magic Johnson rookie from wax I bought from him, as well as George Brett and Robin Yount rookies and many other key/high value cards. Another member of these boards (fergie23), who buys tons of high end wax from Steve, has pulled Gretzky and Jordan rookies (more than 1 Jordan if I remember correctly) from Steve's wax, with Jordan rookies being pretty easy to sequence. There was also the full 1986 Fleer basketball wax box that was bought from Steve by the members of this board for a group rip, and 4 Jordan rookies were found. For all I know Steve may be the last honest vintage wax dealer left, but that still enough to make your blanket statement false.

<< <i>I will just put you down as a NO >>
Now move along beanbag.
<< <i>Wow. Didn't mean to ruffle so many feathers I think the point I was trying to make is that b/c the manufacturing process during the 1980s and earlier was so flawed (anyone with a 3rd grade education could figure out which cello pack the Bonds would appear in...) that most of those hot packs since then have been open. As for the seller offering this box, I will leave it up to you to make that call, it's your money. As for the argument "So and so on this board had a hot hit just last year...?" Obviously someone with a vested interest in selling unopened boxes on this board is not going to short-change everytime, so if that is your #1 argument...In short, don't buy "unopened" wax, and never cellos. >>
You don't want to ruffle feathers, but you continue to make ignorant accusations such as "someone with a vested interest in selling unopened boxes on this board is not going to short-change everytime". As a matter of fact, in my time on the boards here, I don't remember a group rip from BBCE where the key cards were not pulled. Gretzky from the 79-80 Topps, Brett and Yount from 75 minis, 4 Jordans from the 86 Fleer Rip, Hendersons from the 80T rips. I think we had 16-18 Ozzie rookies from the 79T vending rip.
I'm beginning to think you have an axe to grind or an ulterior motive.

<< <i>I guess I'm just saying that unopened cellos are a very risky venture even when those packs come from a reputable dealer. I don't think that is an outrageous statement to make and someone pulling a hit on this board is not enough evidence for me to negate the issues present with 1980s and earlier cello packs. >>
Dude, this may not be the right message board for you. We appreciate everything you have done for all of us up to this point, but maybe give another message board a shot.

Ok. You've made your point a few times now. This isn't a "why shouldn't we do a group rip" thread, this is a thread about actually doing a group rip. We have done quite a few of them here and are all very well aware of the associated risks. Most of us here are comfortable with BBCE's reputation because we've done so much business with him in the past. You obviously haven't, so sit back and watch for a while before you spout off with uninformed accusations.
<< <i>uy who supposedly knows so much about unopened product states that he's "not familiar with this seller," meaning Steve Hart, well, one would be wise to assume that said guy actually knows absolutely NOTHING about unopened product, in fact. >>
Beanie, you're a rookie, most of understand your inexperience in the hobby. I can also sense you had a bad experience with 87 Fleer cellos. Hey, if you want, we can do group break on a case of 87 Fleer. I'll even donate the first Bonds I pull, to you.
As for BBCE and Steve, the guy sells $50,000 boxes and just sold a $16,000 box to the Board. The Board pulled 4 Jordan's, I dont see what the logic would be to risk a guaranteed cash flow(The Board) over a $90 cello pack(supposedly sequenced to have Payton in it). What would he do with the Payton? Sell it for $150?

----------Ok, fair enough. Didn't mean to spoil anyone's fun and good luck with your "group rip." (Note: Any editing was grammatical in nature, I did not change anything of substance....)

I agree with you 100%.
From Sidneybeans first post a mere 10 days ago:
Just wanted to say hi everyone, look forward to learning more about cards and hopefully helping out when I can.
It is hard to learn when you are close minded
Beans if you get a chance you should take a look at BBCE's inventory:

<< <i>Eltoro Loco--Ok, I appreciate your kind response. I have nothing personal against Steven Hart but have enough experience to know that cello packs are a "buyer beware" product. That's just my personal opinion and of course I respect if others feel otherwise. If folks have a seller they trust enough to remove the risk that cello boxes pose then god bless 'em. Thanks! >>
I really enjoyed those 36 minutes.

-----------Are you referring to the disagreement? If so, it reminds me of when "Mr. Mintacular" used to be on this board. Do you remember who I'm talking about? It took me a while to pay the $ to join these boards but I would read here from time to time and there always was some conflict around him. I must admit, it was a guilty pleasure

Between Rube and Mintacular, this Board was a virtual "reality show". They gave the Board a different personality,before they were banned. As for Beanie, I do agree that the sequencing issue gives 80's cello and rack boxes a higher risk for the consumer. Yes, there is always risk, but it's easier to pull the trigger on a lone box from a reputable dealer(No, Steve isn't the only one). Thanks for chiming in on your experience with modern unopened, just watch how it's conveyed and try to keep from insulting Steve. He seems to have a following here
Edited to add: I'm in for one pack depending on the card count and discount. (Hate for it to be a 3 card pack )

Payton Pulled
ssollars pulled a Payton and sent it to be graded and it came back a PSA 9.
