They are not Topps issued. Approx 10-12 cards I think they were made around the same time the cards were (i.e. aftermarket made following the selling season) Do a search here for more details. Many on here know a LOT more about them than I do.

They are bogus and were not produced by Topps. The only authentic cello packs from that era were jumbo cellos housed in a cardboard box. GAI holdered a bunch of them in error during the Rutter era. All of those have cert# s beginning with 102. They will not holder them anymore and of course PSA never did.

i had a 1971 and a 1972 i bought on ebay a while back and they are fake, cards are real, but both tuned away at gai, i got them cheap there is that same guy on ebay that still sells them once in a while ebay name is (sweetdealsforunow) or close to that. He had a 1967 the last time i saw one on ebay. even the ones graded by gai like Grote said were fake, all the 102 #'s on the gai holders is where almost all were graded during. i oened the 2 i had cards were off-centered and there were 12 cards in each of mine, no stars, they were all from the same series though. the best card i got was a 1972 L. aparicio. I emailed the guy selling them and he said he does not know, he knows what he is doing. he had a picture of a huge box full of the 1971 so-called grocery cellos when i won mine on ebay, it looked like there were about 100 of them or more in that cardboard box.
