1967 wax pack too good to be true?

I saw this 1967 PSA 8 wax pack for sale with a BIN of $175 (free shipping) this morning. It just went up last night. BBCE has a similar pack (PSA graded 8) for $425 and a raw one for $375. I felt this pack would not last long so I hit the BIN. What do you think? In terms of red flags, the price seemed a little low and the seller's feedback is private but it's all positive.

The seller's ID name combined with all those private auctions seems a little fishy, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did that just to mess with the ebay police, who are worse than incompetent.

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.
To summarize: I'm mainly concerned that this pack may have been too cheap to be true, the seller has his items as private and that some of the stuff the seller sold in the past were questionable. So far, people seem to think the pack is legit. Is it difficult to tamper with PSA graded packs? Will it look obvious if it was tampered with?

You are protected by PSA and Paypal on this one so you should be fine. Id question it more if it was a raw pack.
Nice pick up.

The holder is slightly on the scratched side and had a little sticky residue which I was able to remove. If I wanted to get it reholdered, how does that work? Would I need to be a PSA collectors club member and would the pack have to go through the whole process of being inspected by Steve again?
Seller also included for free an open 1975 OPC wax pack (regular size) which contained this card:

Sounds like a great seller! Congrats!

I believe you are also taking a chance, because if the gum happens to pop thru the pack in transit, you have just lost a few grades.

Great buy and what a generous seller!

As far as reholdering, I just think if I submitted a vintage pack like that I would have taken care of the holder. I don't even know if PSA does reholder packs or what it would cost.
