I was very happy with the turn around on this pack.
It just popped so they have'nt put it in the current POP report yet.
As it is now it looks like this is the First 8 card 1959 Fleer Pack PSA has graded to date. With 67 regular 6 card packs graded before it.
Im very excited to add this pack to my collection as I have been wanting a legit 8 card pack for over the last 15 years or so. I have only seen one other before and it was offered by Mark Murphy back in the day when he used to sell packs.
An interesting topic with this 1959 Fleer set is the #68 Short Print.
Not many people know how it was distributed or released. If anyone has anything to add that they have heard or read please bring it up.
I have heard 2 different stories/rumors about the famous Short Print #68 Ted Signs card from this set.
One being that people where mad that they never pulled the #68 Ted Signs card and wrote letters to Fleer asking why, and that fleer would send extra copies to people who complained.
The other is that the only way you could pull the #68 SP card was from the 8 cards per pack wax packs.
I could see both these being true as most of the packs on the market at the time where the 6 cards per pack product. Making several pack busters angry if the 2nd rumor is ture.
I do know that you can not pull the #68 SP card from a 6 card pack.
Another thing that is interesting about this pack that I did not know about until this year is that it was issued without any gum. It is just 8 cards and a wrapper. Even though it says Fleer Double Bubble gum on the pack. I thought that was an interesting fact on this issue.
Please feel free to discuss this topic, also if you know anyone who has an 8 card pack or box.
This is my first ever PSA pack submission.

Thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately I had a pack sub logged in late November. If mine doesn't pop in the next few days, I might have missed PSA's shipment to Steve.
Post a pic when you can. Thanks and congrats.
It says how many cards are in the top right on the pack.

Cool page! Is it yours?
that is also a great link--very cool website--you all should check it out
Only bad thing is the 2 tears on the top corners were not there when I packaged it up. So it looks like it got damaged while being mailed some where down the road.
A positive thing is I can see MINT corners on the cards. I think if it got to PSA safely it would have graded a 7.5-8 . I still love the pack though.
Here is a pic.

Curious as to how the tears happened

So im thinking it happened somewhere when it was mailed
