Sorry guys and thanks for the welcome, I've been reading for years and just finally signed up to post. But Larkin is correct-- the seal on the far end by the Montana is not good. Also, the individual cello packs in those racks are packaged like wax packs (as far as sheet collation). So all of the individual cellos in the grocery racks should at least be consistent. In this case, the Montana cello is the only one of the three that have the C/D cards on top.
Doing well, thanks Stone and Brick (my nick is feeling kind of soft now). Frank is the name, packs are my game. I have opened way many more packs than I ever should have, so I do have some knowledge on the topic. But that's primarily just 70s and 80s football and basketball... used to dabble in baseball, but no longer.
Lots of stories I hope to eventually share, but none with scans (just memories). Most of my ripping experience occurred back as a teenager. My friend's father had a shop and we used to rip through a lot of material building sets for him. Mostly vending and wax, but some rack and he even got a hold of a few cut card cases for 80s football. But I do still buy packs to rip from time to time, not much into keeping them unopened.
Back to the original point of the thread, I see the same seller has a legit grocery rack (white label) with Montana on front. Obviously, with BBCE's blessing, this one is good-- but I can also confirm it's good from the cards showing. Happy bidding!

Generally a good idea to include substantiating evidence after making claims like that.
Welcome to the boards. whether the rack is good or bad, Arsenal is correct, you need to tell us why you have that opinion.
Looks resealed on the end closest to the Montana, there should be more wrap extending beyond that seal. Compare to this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1981-TOPPS-FOOTBALL-GROCERY-RACK-PACK-TONY-DORSETT-TC-BACK-MONTANA-RC/263579834828
There's no way to contact an Ebay bidder any longer like that and alert them. Ebay changed all that around a few years ago.

Any stories with scans of rips - much welcomed buddy.
