Is it possible Topps issued some of the 1971 last series in a cello brick? Not rack pack. I have a distinct memory of my Mom buying said brick in a toy store in SF just days or weeks before we moved from SF to Miami, probably September/October 1971. Kind of a parting gift for the long drive across the country. Distinct because all Summer long I bought cards in wax packs, and the cello brick was a pleasant shock to my understanding of how baseball cards were distributed. And the brick held a lot of cards, with many players I didn't have already, and I suspect they were high numbers because I discovered a bunch of high numbers in a shoe box when I got back into the hobby in the middle 1980's. Just curious if anyone else is familiar with cards being packaged in a cello brick back then?
