1984 Rack Box on Ebay All packs have Mattingly

I just saw this listed on Ebay. The seller says all packs (22 packs) have a Mattingly rookie inside. Basically, he is admitting to searching rack packs at some time in the past. No way I would list something like that.

    His listing for a 1980 wax "box" sans the box is not exactly reassuring either. But at least he found a 1983 box for them, lol.


    Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.

    Why not? It's not like pack sequencing was some huge mystery in the 1980s. It was done by tons of people and didn't require you to do anything to the packs in order to know what was in them. This isn't the same thing as your average Target pack groper who's ruining packs looking for hits.

    There is a Youtube video from Muggyman where he shows off a box of racks with Mattingly RC on top. Could be the same box.

    Strange he refers to it as "1984 Topps Baseball Cello Box". It's obviously not, and I've never heard the two used interchangeably.

    Regardless of the subject, I laugh at these Oprah memes every time.

    As we know, cellos are clear. I think that's where they mix it up if they see a clear rack. Some call both cello packs and rack packs, cellos. A friend is over-seeing my cards and he confuses me everytime he says it.

    I love it when people mispronounce cello as "chello", as if they don't realize cello is short for cellophane.

    Haha. I have never heard anyone misprounced cello. If I do, I will probably laugh at them until I turn cherry red. image

    I would wonder how many 1984 rack packs out there are NOT searched. There is so much room in the cells to thumb through the stacks.

    A Donruss rack with Donny on top would actually be an impressive feat.
