Also, did anyone notice the '65 5c pack in PSA 8 that Probstein sold for $2500? Holy smokes! I'm also happy to see the '71 rack is pushing $3000 with the vig. Stopping after opening one pack is paying off for me.
wowza. some amazing princes so far. And it ain't over. Fair to say no one is winning this contest--but I was looking forward to sending the prize to a lucky guesser.

Much appreciated for the contest. Have always wanted to rip a vintage pack. Never done so. I will make sure to record the rip if I win.

I went with 49ers rankings but see he missed lot 45 as number 8. Not sure if I'm in contention for the win but looks like I got 5 correct and my top 10 was the top 11. What a fun contest and a super assortment of unopened at some terrific prices. I picked the over price on the top 5 lots and wasn't even close.

I believe you needed to get all ten correct in order to win.
STAY HEALTHY!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
those prices were nothing short of insane. '56 nickel is the toughest Topps pack, and I thought it would go high, but nothing like it did. The '52 Topps pack was into the stratosphere. The tougher '50's packs have definitely taken a massive leap.
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

How many of those 50's packs do you have...and how many of them do you have multiples of? I remember you posting some pics on a thread I posted last year regarding vintage unopened. Insane prices is right!

Time to update the insurance policy! The prices were impressive. I am not a fan of that auction house, but the 1956 nickel pack had me tempted up until the last night when things went crazy.
the prices of the top 5 packs obliterated past sales of any packs. Highest price I could find on VCP was the 52 pack in PSA-8 that sold for $24K a while ago. Nice time to sell William Toppi.
Anthony getting any goosebumps and thoughts about moving yours?????
Had a nice 90 minute phone call with Bill early this morning. He called me and wanted to know what I won. Told him I won them all so the next time i'm in LA he owes me a million dollar lunch at Spago . No seriously I only won one of the 10 or so I was coveting and was the underbidder on a couple others. He said he made $330k Saturday night (well Sunday morning)--not bad for a days work!!

I had 9 of 10 in my top 10, but only 4 correct. I had another 4 that were one place off.
close but no Ceegar. Amazing stuff. Congrats to the winners!!!! I won 1 lot and it was not in the top 10---or 20....
