1980 Topps Baseball/Football Mix Cello

Saw this on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1980-Topps-Baseball-Football-Cello-Pack-PSA-8-Nm-Mt-Rare-/111873434647?hash=item1a0c2d2417:g:x60AAOSw5ZBWG~3E

I've never seen nor heard of one of these before. Tried searching google for some background on them but got nothing. Would love to hear the story behind them if anyone knows.

    At least one box of those was part of a group break here in 2010 or 2011, not sure how many others existed. I got one with Franco Harris on top.

    Yes, this pack was from the group break. Steve had a box of these and offered it to us, I sent it in for grading. I don't know the history of how/why they were made.

    Interesting, did you ever see the box? Wonder if it was some special box (intentionally done) or if these were the result of some kind of factory error.

    Yeah I bought one of those packs in the group rip. Left it sealed for a few years, but busted it later in a moment of weakness. I remember it being an extremely tight wrap, and the outside cards were pretty rounded. Still fun to rip though.
