    I always felt that particular pack was the nicest looking of the twelve '70 cello packs that Fritsch received back from PSA. A nice pick up and good luck.image

    Oh, and a side note here. I didn't notice it in the auction scan until now, but the left edge of Mr Klimchock has a major ding in it.

    Fair enough. Nice how this card got so nailed without any sign on the cello itself. Color me nervous at this point. Guess the card was nailed pre-wrapping.

    Odd, 33 cards in this pack. There were 34 in my series 6 crack. QA is overrated....

    Here's the first 9. Me likey, aside from poor Mr Klimchock.



    First nine

    Note: I arranged these for your viewing pleasure. Some were upside down in the cello.

    You're getting most of the star cards that you can get in this series. You just haven't been lucky with the centering on those.

    I definitely see some 9's in this pack.
