    75 cello box or pack? If it is a box, of course rip it. If it is 1 pack, either of the 1st options wins due to the quantity.

    **And consider recording on Youtube live. xD

    75 cello is a PSA 9 pack. I am not crazy enough to rip a box.....nor do I have one!

    OPC is leading the way. Have had good success with these boxes before.

    Now look, let's be reasonable about this. Let's just go get a bottle of Wild Turkey, throw a little Metallica on the stereo, and rip em all! We're off to never never land! Gobble gobble.

    Hopefully there's a backup bottle waiting in the wings, but that should be enough to get through the first couple packs ;) Good luck!

    I know...and I'm thinking about getting more. The last two I purchased and had graded came back as 9's. I just sold a 9 over the weekend. You can probably see the price I got for it. Sold a PSA 9 cello and a PSA 7 regular wax pack earlier week. Still have one of each but at $500 each, gives me some money to get some other unopened!

    Pack 1 brings out several HOFers. Lot of OC but crisp. The Batting Leaders #1 is solid, possibly an 8.

    3 packs in. The distribution is funny. 2 of almost the same packs. The mis-cuts are identical. RBI leaders card is pretty as is the DeCinces. Too bad it’s a DeCencis.

    You need that with Murray!

    Collation was brutal with 78 OPC..centering, to, asyou can see. But lost of star power.

    Note: Check front & back of packs for stars showing!

    You can usually make out the card number through the wrapper if cards are faced inward on top.

    That Ryan RB actually looks real nice. Take a nylon and rub that wax off!

    Tim thanks for wax idea. Nolan looks better. Still no better than an 8 bit sharper.

    I grew up 20 minutes outside of Detroit, so very close to the bridge/tunnel to Canada. My dad used to take my grandmother to Windsor sometimes on Saturday to shop. I vividly remember buying about a dozen packs of those in 1981 at the regular 15 cents per pack at a convenience store. I couldn't believe they were still there on the shelf with the the other candy items 3 years after release.
