I went a long time before pulling a Trebelhorn A* code until I ended up pulling 3 from two differnt boxes pretty close together and I haven't pulled any of those since then. I also opened quite a few boxes before pulling a "vintage" card until I pulled two from back to back boxes from two different sources. One was a 1977 Craig Swan that was on the top with the gum and had the instant win card. The other was a 1972 Billy Conigliaro that was in the middle with no instant win game card.

These Cello Boxes, I did get all at the same time, and probably sold 4-5 before... (so those people probably got a good surprise, if they know what they're looking for) ...then have just let them sit for years. I hadn't opened one myself until this year, but KNOWING that I've gotten these two variations in ALL 3 BOXES, I'll probably be opening the rest... As, any two "Hand Over" Whiten or Storm Davis w/®, would pay for what I get for a box...
Unfortunately, I don't seem to have boxes with either of the white borders, nor the Boyd black flag tip, nor Joe Morgan 87... which, along with the A*B* backs seem to be some of the toughest.
