I like how the Yount and Brett cello packs were pulled from the auction a few days before it ended, seemed odd. I ended up with the 74 bb rack pack with stretch on top and the 82 rack pack with Ripken on top. I wish they would stagger the ending time of the auctions so I would know if I have in my budget to have purchased more items like the sweet 70 bb wax pack gai perfect 10 .
I ended up with the '74 factory set. I hope it isn't beat to he11 or otherwise tampered with. Always a crapshoot.
Wow a 100k for a 75 rack box!
Seems the 1977 baseball boxes sold for less than I figured and the 1975 rack with Rose on top sold for more than i figured.
$62,000+ for a 1954 Hank Aaron RC PSA-8! I think that is a record price for the grade...
I won the partial box of 14 1975 mini cellos for a very reasonable price considering some of the other prices.

Anti GAI bias.

Gem mint , I’m shocked that you would pay that much for the 74 factory set. They were never sealed and you are putting a lot of trust in anyone that has owned that set. You have always been one of the best people on these boards so I hope it works out for you. Please let us know but that’s a lot of coin to pay.
Thanks. Yes, it is a risk. The pattern looks okay and with the prices of everything these days, the price is not that surprising. A Fritsch vending box would sell for more and this guarantees one of each card. Fritch vending boxes also aren't FASC for the most part.
I was the winning bidder on the 75 Rack Box with all the Stars/Rookies. And yes I had a couple beers last night LOL.
I am planning to open that sucker someday, possible at BBCE so I can see the racks inside, re-seal and sit on it.
I liked seeing a 1975 Football box go for over 12,000
Picked one up that I need to get sealed asap.
A little shocked the 2 1954 Bowman FB 5 cent packs were only 1300.00 Undervalued pack.
I won the 1961 Fleer Football pack for a little over 600.00 Also a hidden value pack. lots of stars in the 1st series. I have a full box and 1 extra pack. Don M. Rookie only has 24 9s and no 10s !
can someone go into more detail or link the 77 boxes listing?

One went for $66,000 on Heritage two weeks ago.
On December 13, a PSA 9 1952 Topps Pee Wee Reese (Pop 5 with one higher)) went for $30,000. In the Mile High auction just concluded, the exact same card was flipped for $62,882!
I bid 20k on that Reese in the HA auction. Love that card. Damn wish I won it now.
linky no worky.

vcp has one bin back in feb for $105k from a springmountainsports. don't know how reliable that is..
wow! gia one is trash but still seems low for the bbce frankenstein.
personally like the gai one and wouldn't have had a problem with it if I was in the market. there are lots of issues with gai but I would hqve jsut as much confidence in that box as I would a generic bbce box
GAI is the best kept secret for unopened product.

ehh. still an unnecessary gamble even w known cert ranges, imo. not saying steals and deals can't be found. i'd just rather remove those grey elements and stick w dependable.
All packs, regardless of the holder, should be evaluated based on their own merits and attributes. I have not had any issues crossing GAI packs to PSA but I am also picky about what I buy and submit.

Tim I know you have this response somewhere real handy to paste it at a moments notice
COPPER is gutter !
Forget GAI and PSA. There are a few people in this hobby like Tim, Mike(cpa), and Dave(70Topps) that if they say it is good I buy from them sight unseen. We are lucky that we have a hobby where experts share their knowledge and wisdom freely for all to enjoy.
Couldn't agree more. I'm so used to that response that I'm starting to use it myself lol.

I sure that wax boxes were low across the board. I picked up the 78 baseball and 76 football. Wish I would have bid on the 77 baseball as well. The 80’s boxes were low also
springermountainsportscards is completely reputable, and the sale went through (it was for $95K, eBay didn't report the negotiated price correctly). I got off the phone with the co-owner a few minutes ago to make sure this was all true before I posted.
