I am very curious as well... Please let us know the possibility of having the Roger Staubach card on the top and bottom of a cello pack.

Very good question! i see you would like my opinion over PSA/hart expertise
one authenticated it and the other graded it MINT! judging by your inquiry you
simply don't trust them right? can't blame you Jason specially when you have been a victim of there corruption yourself, see Jason the 1975 topps cello pack
with Kaline on top you sold recently at the CU is BOGUS let me repeat it,, the
1975 Kaline pack you sold at the CU is BOGUS! see Kaline NEVER came in the
top section! only the bottom section a real expert would know that, so besides
PSA/hart you got SCREWED by who ever sold it to you, and you screwed who
ever you sold it to, LIKE I SAID BEFORE THIS PACK CORRUPTION is out of hand!
(see the bottom of the picture)

Nice diversion but why don't you address the cello that I linked too?

You've demonstrated you know the sequencing for most if not all years, how about demonstrating your vast knowledge on this particular cello?

I guess these filthy pack resealers get the best of us. Please enlighten us about the Staubach pack in question. I'm very curious.

I am not speaking for Pepis here and I think the question raised is fair and deserves an answer.

But, I did want to mention that cards in cello packs from the early 70s do run in sequence. But, at any moment the sequence can break and another sequence starts. It is definitely possible for the same sequence to occur two times within the same pack. As an example, see this thread over in CU where a member opens up a 1970 Baseball Cello pack. He winds up with duplicates of a couple cards including the card on the bottom of the pack. This makes me believe that, however unlikely, the same card can conceivably show up on both the top and bottom of packs that were distributed in single series cellos like in 1972 football.

1970 Topps Baseball Cello Rip

BTW - 1970 cello packs purchased from Fritsch are rock solid legitimate. I don't believe that anyone has ever questioned this.

Ok, in 1972 topps produced their cards in 3 series, the basic set of only 264
cards series one cards 1/132 besides wax packs, they packaged that 1st series
in rack packs and clear cello 27 card packs, at the middle of this they decided
to test a new cello pack with much heavier paper than the clear packs this new
packs would now have a price a topps logo and product disclosure only one series so there was no rhyme or reason just random cards from a single series
fit it in a 27 card pack, this was repeated in 2nd series packs, both series were
never inserted in the same pack, and all the cards in the entire series could
and will show-up in either side, then the scarce 3rd series came out BUT only
in wax packs, all of these also happened in the following year 1973, it wasn't
until 1974 when the set grew and the number of cards in a cello packs shrank that
they (topps) developed a distinctive pattern.
in a final note i examine that pack closely and found it satisfactory,
and I know packs as well as anyone out there could possibly know, and welcome any legal challenges to disprove it.

I don't see how it is possible to have a star card like that on the TOP and Bottom of a cello pack. How often did you look through packs as a kid and find the same star card on the top and bottom of a pack. I would be lucky to get one star card in 5 packs period...
