    The cards are in the correct sections, but this rack does not bear a standard 1976 header card (header card is a 1975 hockey header card). Topps did reuse packaging from previous years on occasion, so it may very well be authentic, but I prefer 76 racks with 76 header cards.

    Yeah but he is saving $1012 off the normal retail price.... image

    All I can say is I would take Tim's advice on this one or any other rack or pack out there. I would buy sight unseen if he said it was good and run if he said no. Great resource for this board to have when it comes to unopened.

    How can you tell that header card is from 1975 hockey? I can't even make out the Topps product code.

    Funny thing is usually when I see a question about a rack and if it is real I am not thinking of cards image

    I know the person who previously purchased the rack.
