This weekend I had the chance to rip a couple of 1975 racks provided by the Board's own Flatfoot. Thanks Manny, I really do like to rip me some racks!
I know, I know, the racks are oh-so-attractive as they are in their BBCE-festooned wrapping...
But don't they look better in all their glory?
But they look even better still when the contents are ripped. Will post scans of some of the better cards.

OK, you're normally pretty humorous, but this one takes the cake as funniest thing I've read all year here.

Chris, I agree that the Brock looks really nice. Looks like my supply of 1975 racks just went up a few more pennies, lol.

Miller and Driessen are really difficult and these just look like really. really nice specimens.

Is that Sparky Lyle a Milton Bradley?

They call me "Pack the Ripper"
Every time I see a rip thread I shudder at the horror. Keep those cards wrapped up. #SAVETHEUNOPENED

That has to be at least two different racks, so if 19 gradeable cards were pulled they could have done very well. Cherrypicked rack leftovers are never pretty, regardless of year.
Some very nice red/yellows in those racks, which are always tough!

Beautiful pulls from the racks - several of those should grade out very well.
Tim - 1 2/3 boxes?? I think we need to talk ?? Tax return season is upon us, and home projects are almost done!

I was watching this one to see if I could pick it up to fill in parts of my raw 60 set for cheap. But in true Prob fashion, no specifics were given and only one picture of the cards was given that showed them somewhat fanned out. Didn't want to spend $50+ to find out that they were of cards I already had.
My other question is how common was it in 1960 racks to have that many dups. That's why I'm with Kyle on this one. I wonder how many racks this came from. There are 36 cards in a 60 rack. There were 53 cards in this listing and 17 were dups. Sounds fishy and like someone had a rack header and some leftover commons and wanted to sell them off. Looking at these types of listings regularly for my raw collection, they would have been better off giving scans of all the cards. Even with them OC, the crisp corners would have intrigued more buyers.
