    Let me just add that I never owned a football card ever in my life. I don't have any clue as to why I decided to get two of these. I guess there is a first for everything. I hope I have the courage to open them. I have sat on so much unopened junk for 20 years now and never really had the urge to open anything. I guess we'll see.

    Bunker, thanks for finding this great deal! I will pay tonight when I get home. With the '76 cello and this you're blowing my Christmas budget!!!!

    I will not be opening mine. I will be displaying it. This was the first year I started collecting and have always wanted a rack from this era.

    I just got off the phone with Steve and paid for one of the remaining 2 racks. He said that there is already someone waiting to buy the other unclaimed/not pd for pack so everything should be good - thank you Bunker for your efforts on this!

    So I got my two racks in. Here are the scans of the front and backs of both. The Art Shell on the front of the one pack has the surface peeling up on the bottom, but the back has a Joe Namath on it! I know very little about football, but living in Jets/Giants land I have certainly heard of him. Corners look a little soft on all of the front and back cards in general, but the interior cards look OK. The packs smell old and the plastic is a bit soiled and is torn in the area where the cards would hang up on the rack, but it doesn't seem to be impacting the cards at all. The cards are packed just enough so that there is little to no chance for someone to search them, at least IMO. Overall, an interesting purchase for me.

    Not sure if I will rip them. I'll probably file them away with my other unopened material. Anyways, thought you'd like to see.

    Nice score with the Namath on the back. image

    I plan on leaving mine unopened when I get it, so I'm hoping someone decent is showing.

    I received my two packs and they looked similar to the ones scanned earlier. I was surprised by a moldy smell to the packs and cards once opened... luckily PSA doesn't consider EOS (evidence of stink) when grading. No major finds, some nice cards and quite a few miscuts. Also had 10 duplicates out of the 2 packs. Here are a few representative scans... may use some for first TTM project...

    Haven't gotten mine yet.... Are these typical packs, or is this the reason why they were only $175?

    I received my rack pack today and despite the outward appearence of the pack, the cards are pretty nice. Most were centered nicely with sharp corners....except for the Stabler. It was by far the worst of the bunch image

    Received my pack today. Keeping it unopened, but HOF'er Willie Brown is showing on the back. General condition of the pack itself matches what others have described. A neat little addition to my unopened collection. Thanks Rick for organizing.

    Received my rack today and while it wasn't mint, it was in very nice shape overall. The cello shows signs of curling and some yellowing, but there are no rips or splits between the panels and the header card is fully intact. I kind of prefer the curling on racks like these as I'd be skeptical if that weren't the case. Will keep this one sealed.

    Riggins showing on the front was pretty cool! The racks may look bad, but overall the cards inside have been pretty decent looking.

    No star power, but this was the first year I collected football so has great historical value for me. Will leave it as is and display. Thanks Bunker, great fun.
