Probstein just recently auctioned a couple of those 52 Topps Christmas packs as did one other seller whose name escapes me now.
Both sellers, considering the Christmas packs are not real so to speak, made out pretty well. (Just checked the bay and there are currently 3 of these packs up for sale/auction)

If I ever need a link, I ask Al-R I am not a big fan of cello packs for the reasons mentioned above. I am not sure I could tell the difference between a real cello and a repack anyway.

I think the fact that they had so many others made me think they probably created them all themselves on a computer.

Waiting on the 1952 Topps High number cello packs before I get excited.....

Murphy's original Christmas pack "find" did not include any 52s. He offered 53 to 63. The 52s showed up later as did post 63s. Now you can find them up through the 70s and some mixed. For me it would be interesting to know who first created them and when, and if they were really ever sold at retail anywhere

They are obviously still be cranked out today but by the same person or group of persons ? A different person or group ? Or multiple people and groups.

There was a seller on EBay years ago that sold Xmas rack packs. He had a long dissertation about how his were legit. In his “about me” tab he had a 52 rack pack with a Mathews showing on back. Real or not I don’t know. It was not for sale but the ones he did sell went for big $$$$.

I saw this Xmas pack. It appears to have a fake Mantle. Not sure about the other cards.
