a roll in what comes in pack sections wether cellos and/or racks.

Thank you!

Thanks for the info.

I just went through my '79s to see which ones can't end up on the top of a cello. As it turns out, I have a 79 cello with Rice on top (an A) that is PSA graded. Very disappointing that they were unable to pick up on this.

HERE IS A CLOSE-UP OF THE PICTURE YOU POSTED WITH CLEAR EVIDENCE
THAT THE PACK HAS BEEN OPENED AND RESEALED! LOOK AT THE WHITE
ON THE CLEAR FOLD AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY,
HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A REAL EXPERT WOULD MISS SOMETHING SO BLATAN
BUT IT'S HAPPENED MANY TIMES.

I have to admit with PSA standing behind it, I had a level of confidence in the authenticity of the unopened pack. I'll never feel that way about a PSA again.

Thanks a lot for all the info, pepis. I now have some information I've never had before about cellos 78 on.

Disappointing, but could be worse - you could have Ozzie on the front of your '79 Cello.
