So been at BBCE to inspect the cello packs and get resealed in the box. As Steve and I were going through the tight cellos it was discovered that there was a Shell rc, Youngblood rc, Harris rc, Bradshaw all on fronts with Unitas on the back of a pack. Took some cool pictures and here is a tease. So lucky to have so many studs on front and backs. Best box I've ever owned and will ever own.

That's awesome. Great pickup.
Current obsession, all things Topps 1969 - 1972
those are some tight packs!!! congrats!!
Thx...with so many monster packs it would be so cool to display in PSA 8 and 9 holders but I'm happy to have pictures and the box in tact. Just bizzare to see so many multiple hofers showing in one box. We counted 7 that we knew for sure.
Again, goes to show how great Steve is...not only did he not pull these packs prior and/or try to make more off the box, but he was willing to rewrap and label in detail all the studs which was more than double what he originally saw prior to my purchase at the national. Class act.
Stunning football cello box! Congrats on the goldmine pickup...
That is one fine box. Congrats on a great pickup! I remember buying a few packs of 73T Football when they came out. I still have the cards but they are in VG or so condition.
I don't recall seeing a checklist but would have brushed over it..don't think so though..almost certainly not on the front of any packs.
When is the Group Rip?!?!?!?

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
WOW! "THAT" is a KILLER box and collectible!! Congratzzzz!!!
Incredible box, congrats. Can't say enough about how above board Steve is when it comes to selling his product and leaving stars on top. Way to go on this score!
AWESOME box. Congrats with getting all those starts showing on top. Show us the box after Steve re-wraps with his comments regarding the stars showing. ENJOY!!!!!

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.
He just listed the main 4 guys as you can see...could have prolly gone Youngblood but who cares.
Great box. Congrats.

AND THAT IS WHY WE COLLECT!!!
.....anyone who's heart rate increased while looking at those packs understands why we love to collect this cardboard....thats the best way i could put it....if that doesn't get u going, well, .....
...its almost a crime to wrap up the box and put it away versus displaying it in its entirety..
Thanks for sharing the pic!

Again awesome pickup Steve, and you sound just as excited today as you did in Chicago when you got it! That is what collecting is all about.

Terrific box! Very happy to see you kept it intact, too! It is a special item to be sure..
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Thanks again everyone. I tend to agree that it should be displayed but at this time I'll probably just get a couple nice 9s or 10s from 1973 to display next to it. I'm a sucker for cool ways to display our cards/packs/boxes.
awesome box--glad you are so happy with it--you should be. This is what makes the Natty so great!!
Steve should have put Bobby Bells' name on the box instead of Franco Harris.
Lol, Chiefs fan?
Ok, I retract what I said.
He should have included Bobby Bell and Jack Youngbloods' name on the box.
Chiefs fan and I can remember Bobby Bell. 9 times in the pro bowl deserves his name on back of box.
Just awesome Steve.
On the Bradshaw - did you look really close to see if the "wrapping" affected the corners?
It's a great card!
Thanx buddy.
Didnt pay that much attention as the fun and enjoyment of it is keeping the packs sealed for life!!!
Those are beauties! Congratulations!
What a great box. Congrats!
