That is funny. The guy at Heritage who wrote the descriptions will get a talking to about outing the grocery pack as fake.

The sad part is grading a fake pack wasn't even the worst thing GAI done that day. Anybody that buys their garbage gets what they deserve.

I too am confused on what the problem is. Lot 81010 does not say the Grocery packs are fake. It says they were fabricated. When I read that I thought it meant they weren't distributed by topps, but rather made by a third party around the time for distribution in a Grocery store, similar to Christmas Rack packs.

The “Grocery Cello” pack has been removed from the auction. Our catalog auctions are produced over several months with different catalogers writing lots and I simply missed this one during catalog production. I am only human and I do (will) make mistakes, but I promise to try to keep them to a bare minimum. Thank you to the two people who had the courtesy to contact Heritage directly about this asking for an explanation and did not take the opportunity to jump to conclusions.
