Pack customers Beware!
 
A Munson on front 78 pack sold this past week, checkout the back scan,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1978-TOPPS-B...p2047675.l2557

Now the same seller purchased this box one month prior, cheek-out the
midde pack of the bottom row, looks like a match!

But why are you telling us to beware? Something's missing.

I am a little lost. Did he remove something from the pack or is he just breaking up a box and selling individual packs?

The same cello pack would never have "Topps" on front, and "made and distributed by O-Pee-Chee" on the back. Topps is produced in the United States. O-Pee-Cee is produced in Canada.

I don't think that's correct. I was under the impression that all '78 Topps cellos have the the O-Pee-Chee writing on the back. That's not an indication something is wrong with the cello.

Hmm, you may be right. You'd think that where the cards were produced would dictate what was printed on the back. I do know that the fronts of packs printed in Canada do have O-Pee-Chee.

So I wonder what the issue is, as Jose didn't specify. Now I'm curious.

The seller purchased that box and a month later he listed several packs
with stars on top, as a yankee collector i know 1st hand that T.Munson
never came in the top section of a 1978 cello, so after some investigating
i found out that the back of the pack showing in the middle of the bottom
row matches the back of the pack he sold w/ Munson on top,
