in Trading Cards & Memorabilia Forum
I just purchased a 1975 Topps rack pack from Tedw9.

I was totally psyched when I saw the picture of this particular rack pack for sale, because I had mentioned in a thread I created a while back that the 1975 Topps Bob Gibson Highlight was in the first batch of cards I ever had. Here is a pic of the card that I got when I was 5:

And here is my new rack pack. Pretty darn cool!

    Grant Jackson or Vic Albury is in the HOF? image

    Edit to add: sharp rack, very nice!

    Also forgot to add that I think it's neat that both Gibsons have the same tilt. I guess that is common on that card?

    Oh, that sucks. Sorry. Yes, it was me. He posted that pic of his haul, I luckily saw it within a few minutes of the post, and immediately asked him for a price.

    I saw the haul but waited until he posted in the BST. I PM'd him 30 minutes after he posted it "So where's that Killebrew?" Again, congrats on getting it. image If you ever see an '81 Donruss pack with Ron Oester showing, that was my first card I remember owning.

    The centering and tilt look identical. Its like time had been re-winded and your card had been put back in its original pack!
  • SethroSethro Posts: 671 ✭✭
    I know! Spooky!

    I am trying to figure out a nice way to display both card and pack. Any suggestions would be welcomed!

    Now THIS is what collecting is all about. I'm glad your so happy with it, I know it will be in a collection where it will be loved. I was tempted to keep the pack, but I know it's now in the perfect spot.


    Thanks for putting a smile on my face Seth! image

    Steve,

    Great job finding that rack the perfect home. And to nail the tilt too...priceless!!!

    Of course, if you come across any more of those racks I have a nice home where they will be safe and taken very well care of. image
