What's the most valuable cello/ rack pack ever?

McDonnellFarm

I've been looking at the 1958 Football cello with Jim Brown on top and it got me wondering what the most valuable rack/cello ever is.

This thread has a 1960 rack with a Yaz rookie showing and a 68 Ryan so that's the best I've seen. Any other ocntenders?

This is actually a tough question. Because you have to take into account, in my opinion, the condition of the star card as well.

We've all seen some great racks/cellos, but the off-centering and touched corners and print marks can sometimes be a turn off.

The vast majority of valuable unopened material is wax packs, not cello or rack.

If you look through history of what rare wax packs have sold at Legendary / Mastro, for instance, there is a very large n-count of wax materials selling for $thousands or more per pack. In 2004, the 1952 five-cent wax box was probably the highest price ever paid for a group of wax-

There was a guy selling that Brown pack on ebay a few weeks back. It was on there for a few months. Not sure if he sold it or not.

Unless something pre War other than Sport Kings turns up, I suspect a '56 Topps nickel pack would push $20k and be the most valuable.
