The story i read is they were opened and sorted and it contained 71 Mantle cards..... 40 with good centering and 31 off center. All in pristine condition! and it involved two buyers because the first guy couldn't afford to buy all the cards, but they were bought for a song and a dance , graded and resold for huge profits.
