NEW HINT AVAILABLE BELOW!!! EVERYONE TAKE A GUESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NEXT HINT: THE CARD IS FROM A NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST TEAM
NEXT HINT: THE CARD IS FROM THE 1978 SET!!!!!
Updates made for payments.

EVERYONE GETS A NEW SHOT AT THE PRIZE!
Here are the guidelines: ONE GUESS PER CLUE! I will give clues periodically through this process. Each clue entitles you to one more guess. I have reserved one of the 79 cello spots for the prize.

Hey all! Steve coolly and quickly responded and gave the go ahead for this rip, with the rockin' 10% discount as well. He's removing them from the site as I type!
I am about to take my daughter out for the day, so I will post deets this evening when I get back.
AND A SPECIAL CONTEST AND PRIZE!!!!!!
To celebrate the organization of my first rip, and to give back to the community who have been so kind and generous in donating cards to the kids at my school, I am running a special contest:
Guess my favorite baseball card as a kid and I will pick up one of your 1979 Cello packs! (I'm poor. That's the best I can do!)
Hint one: It's from the 70's. Good luck!
Oh, all the details will probably be the same as far as timing, number of packs allowed, etc. See you all later!

Got it covered Matt. The prices for future reference are:
1977 Topps Baseball Cello Box - $1,100 less 10% discount = $990 / 24 packs = $41.25 per pack
1978 Topps Baseball Rack Box - $1,750 less 10% discount = $1,575 / 24 packs = $65.63 per pack
1979 Topps Baseball Cello Box - $425 less 10% discount = $382.50 / 24 packs = $15.94 per pack
Thank goodness my box break radar is working really well.
I'm in for the maximum amount of packs which I figure to be 2 from each box.
Thanks Seth for getting this rolling!!!

If Steve broke a case, maybe we can sell out a second box?

If he's got more than the one box, I highly doubt it would be a problem- based on the response so far!

I don't believe that Steve has anymore boxes. A case consist of three boxes, and Steve mentioned to me on Friday that two of the three boxes had been sold. I was kind of surprised that this box was available to be honest.
