$450 still seems high to me if they were sight-unseen but more inline with the higher end of market value.
The Probstein and PWCC '75 racks that more recently sold had good to very good front card centering. I'd say that had something to do with why they fetched a higher premium over the low feedback seller.

I do recall bidding on a PWCC 75 rack several months ago that had a nicely centered Paul Splittorf on front. Didn't win it but it brought the most of the 5 or 6 that sold at that time. Don't remember what they sold for.
Darin it sold for $445 + $15 SH on 5/15/16. Like you said it brought the most.
So $450 seems good for a nicely centered pristine rack. Certainly $500 if it's from BBCE and behind plastic. Though if it's poorly centered more like $400 or less if it doesn't pack star power or has other issues.

Is Paul Splitorff an indicator of good things to follow?
Crazy times. The 1969 racks I had an eye on went for $4k. I wonder what my '63 rack would go for today. I bought it for $8k a few years ago which seems like a relative bargain now considering they are almost impossible to find.

Listed price is $12,000 per box. I assume there are 24 racks so $500 per rack. That seems a bit high. But Id be interested in $400 to $450 per if the boxes have not been searched. Does anyone know if 1975s have known sequencing? Can someone pull all racks with possible Younts or Bretts?
Hi, I do remember an article from Baseball Card Magazine about the 75 Rack sequencing, but this is from 1986-87.

1975s are sequenced. It's not perfect. But I own/ripped my fair share, and if you open enough of them, you can figure it out pretty quick. Put it this way, if you see Oscar Gamble on the front, buy it.

Figured you might be busy at the National
5 Years later and a 1975 rack box sold for $82k online last night.
Another One sold for $104k but had nice star power showing
$4000 per 1975 rack. Waiting for everyone to say it will seem like a bargain in two years. 🤔

The Crisser must be flabbergasted by all this!
