1955 Topps Cello Ripped Open

[packs]

I had an unopened 1959 Topps 1 cent pack for a while. I always wanted to rip it and see what was inside. I did figure out though that if you held it to a bright enough light you could see the card inside. Let's just say I was glad I didn't open it.

For what it's worth, the same guy who claims to have pulled the Clemente also claims to have opened a 1981 Donruss wax box (36 packs) and pulled 27, yes I said 27 Tim Raines RCs. 3 out of every 4 packs contained a Raines RC. Amazing! People can draw their own conclusions about the guy and believe what they want to.

Anybody know him on a personal level? I'd like to send him an '88 Topps wax pack and see if he can pull a '52 Mantle for me

91 Topps was the one that had the buy backs.

Yeah, I know, but with this guy's luck I think he could do it with '88

Not saying whether or not I think this story is true, but 81 Donruss had some abominably horrific collation issues if I remember correctly.

I never opened any, but I'm sure they did and will take your word for it. But 27 of the same card? 3 out of every 4 packs containing the card?

Yes, '81 Donruss did have horrible collation. I don't recall that it was 75% one player horrible, though.

The Clemente pulled from the pack graded a PSA 6.

Well, that is better than the 7 (PD) it SHOULD have gotten.

Pulling a large quantity of a particular 1981 Donruss card actually is not that unusual. The collation from that brand & year was very poor. Some packs would have 2 or even 3 of the same card/player.

Has the guy ever lost on a pack, or does he strike gold on every single break?

[begsu1013]

just stating facts from the ripper:

apparently the pack fresh 6 has been sold and to another board member to help pay for med school bills. just stating what was posted.

Again why mention the reason for selling......if they need to sell in a day or so or have a specific timeframe they HAVE to sell it..maybe it would make sense..but spare me the reasons whether real or fake

Spends $2,000 on an leap of faith unopened pack of cards. Has to make quick sale to pay for med school. Heh.
