Since everyone is so gracious and sharing their vintage rips I thought I should too.

Scored 3 1971 cellos recently and decided to rip this one around thanksgiving. I did not know the card showing on the bottom when I purchased it

    Good luck, John! This is a cello different from the one you already ripped a while back?

    The bottom of the cello did have a minor hall of famer showing (back of card), Gene Hickerson of the Browns.

    this was 2nd card in, #264

    Cuozzo and Iman look very nice! Just a slight touch on top left corners.

    I recognize that Staubach from the '71 Topps Traded set. A very limited release (cellos only).

    There isn't even one up for sale on ebay in active or completed auctions. What is value of that card in mid-grade?

    If it were a real card - I'd guess two maybe $3 billion.

    Willard looks very sharp. If the top right corner isn't touched, that card looks mint 9 to me. Turner has a shot, too.

    Csonka and Anderson look like 8s to me.

    Damn Tim you are good, Willard did get a 9 and Csonka a 8. Anderson got a 7???? What the he'll, I thought he was one of the top 2 cards, all 4 corners looked mint when magnified
