When I learned one of the existing two of these was sold and I missed out on the auction, I was pretty bummed. I was so pleasantly surprised when an opportunity to obtain the other became available. Its owner provided one of the most cordial and smooth transactions ever, and I am so thankful he was willing to part with it. I'm thrilled to share this scan with my fellow pack enthusiasts. It appears the Yount is as nicely centered as the Brett. Thanks again to its original owner; it is definitely in a good home.

I was willing to bet that more won't be showing up anytime soon; if only for storage/protection purposes in the solid PSA slab, I'd have to imagine anyone who owns one would have it slabbed.

If anyone has a Brett-front MINI CELLO and would consider a trade, please let me know.
Here is another couple I've been meaning to scan:

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.

VERY nice! Congrats on an incredible pack!

Back in 1975, Brett and Yount were today's equivalent of having Gregg Gross and Bucky Dent on front and back..

75 packs were the first my Dad bought for me so I will always have a soft spot for them.

What are the odds of that? I'm not a math whiz. 660 card set. 660x660? That'd be 1 in 435,600 packs. Then to find it in a 9 seems pretty amazing.
The odds of Brett or Yount being on top is 1:330, and the same goes for the back. So, I think the odds of that pack (or Yount-Top, Brett-bottom) are 108,900 to 1. Is that right?
That Brett/Yount pack is just nuts. Congratulations to you.

Awesome packs!!! I'm glad you were able to secure the other 75 Brett/Yount cello pack. At least we know where that one will be for awhile.
I wish I had a 75 Brett mini cello to offer you, but Grote buys all 75 mini cellos like they are going out of style.
