These are fake cello packs, correct?

If not, what would they have come out of? They are wrapped nice and tight.

    Yes, homemade, as are the baseball ones, too. Topps did not produce 12-card cellos with clear cello wrap during the 1970s, nor did they produduce jumbo football cellos in 1973 with clear cello and no gum.

    Yes my thought as well that they are fake. They look home made to me. It looks like he may have bought a vending box and packed them in the same order except for pulling they good cards of coarse. Notice the side view of the pack, it has the same edge pattern of a vending box. May have done that intentionally to make them appear legit.

    Don't like the look of the wax, either, and considering these cellos up now, I'd stay away.

    Absolutely 100% fake. I had the unfortunate experience of having bought ungraded wax from the seller (capa433fl). Stay away from this guy!
