I`m not doubting you but what specific evidence do you have to prove this? I have read a lot of your posts about rack packs and such, so I know you have expertise in this area. Just looking to educate myself.

I was wondering the same thing, not questioning you. Just wondering what you see that raises the red flag.

The cellophane doesn't look right. Almost like the method used to seal the edges resulted in heat spilling over to the cellophane that covers the cards.

I could be completely off-base but I'm hoping that, if I am, I will be corrected.

Dan,
now every 1975 rack pack has a specific pattern from the factory the set contains 660 cards printed in 6 different sheets of 132 cards,, the first 4 sections can be identified by a single asterisk
at the bottom of the back of the card next to the copy right, and the cards in the last 2 sheets can be identified by a double asterisk also at the bottom of the back of the card next to the copy right now the rack pack has 3 sections and each section was uploaded with cards from 2 of those 6 sheets only,, 6 different sheets into 3 sections,, the 1st section next to the header should contain cards from the 1st 2 panels which should be card numbers 1 through
264 or 265 now all of these cards should all be single asterisk cards,,, now it gets a little tricky!!! the next 4 panels numbers continue from card # 265 on
again in 132 card sheets/panels,, so the middle section should contain only
cards from # 265 on with single asterisk, and the last section should contain
only cards with double asterisk which would be all the high #s and a random few 300s 400s and 500s with the double asterisk,
i posted a picture of a rack with all this facts

GOOD EYE ARTHUR,
THE CELLOPHANE IS ALL WRONG.

Another bad 75 rack on EBAY
The seller may just be naive and got taken,
but all sections have the wrong cards.
