Answer: attention - just as in the thread I linked. Unfortunately, in that thread, it wasn't the kind of attention he was looking for.

The only thing I got from that other thread, was that I should have bought as many boxes of 1988-89 Fleer basketball as I could find in 2009, at the prices I saw them trading at.

As for the correlation, unless the guy who opened the 1955 Topps pack is the same guy, or he was trying to stimulate the market before dumping a bunch of his own 1955 Topps Cellos on to the market..........I don't see a correlation.

The guy that ripped the Fleer Basketball Pack inserted a Jordan and tried to play it off as if it were in the pack. Unfortunately for him, someone knew the sequence and he was busted.

I believe the guy that opened the '55 cello pack inserted the Clemente. I don't believe that Clemente came in the pack for many reasons.

You don't see the correlation? They both tried to fake pack rips. At least that's my contention.
