The famous 1989-90 Fleer basketball Larry Bird rack pack

Remember this pack?

(I saved this pic in 2010. Did anyone determine whether it is/was real or fake? For you quants out there what is the mathematical probability that this pack could be legit?)

    I think it's real. This stuff was crazy for triplicates in the same rack. I had one with two Jordan's showing and pulled a third

    Definitely could not be real if it were a Topps baseball rack from 70s or early 80s, the era I collect, as each section on a rack corresponded with cards from certain sheets but I have no idea how basketball packs from this era were collated.

    I think there were 3 birds on the back also. Seller had the odds listed in the auction, it was like 1:3,000,000 I think

    How about the 84 Topps Foitball rack with three Dickerson's?

    If you are fabricating it, the odds are a lot better than that, lol..

    Football and basketball had a much better chance of this. Especially Fleer basketball sets that only had 132 cards... each cell had an equal shot. Although if that pack had Birds on the back... I'd say it has 0% chance of being legit.
