    Thanks, Mike! This sub was the quickest I've had--just 29 days from log in to poppage. The norm is about 45 days.

    Hey, are those new holders for the '77 and '74? Never saw those before... why didn't they use that holder for the '73? I'm confuzz'd.

    Hey, are those new holders for the '77 and '74? Never saw those before... why didn't they use that holder for the '73? I'm confuzz'd.

    PSA uses larger (deeper) holders for the jumbo cello packs (1970-1973)..also 1980, too.

    It looks like they are also using a newer design for some of the cello packs---the new design fits the pack better, IMO..
