1983 Fleer Baseball Cello Case Variation

NJ80sBBC

First time that I have ever seen this particular product before.

1983 Fleer Cellos

The good people at Fleer sure came up with a wide array of packaging for their 1983 Fleer baseball card product. One of my favorite things about this hobby is the variation aspect of it. Certain issues of 1980s baseball cards afford us the opportunity to collect an unusually large number of variants of unopened product packaging for the same base card set. Makes me wonder what else is out there as far as box/case variations that I have not seen before. Curious if anyone is, or has ever been, in possession of an example of this product.

I have owned two of these over the years. This is a grocery display stand cello case and contains 384 loose cello packs. it is equal to a 16 box case. They come in one large tray with the packs neatly stacked. The tray then sits on a floor stand for display. Very cool looking when assembled. The one watchout on an opened case is that the Fleer sequencing ran very true, so be careful that the rookie packs have not been opened and replaced.

I've seen these before, 1983 in fact. Revco drug store had the set up just like that

Had I unlimited space to make an 80s unopened mancave I would consider this. So cool that you guys have owned &/or remember these from back in the day. I did not realize how strict the sequence was in early Fleer. I certainly know how it was in 86-89.
