Can't wait to see what the rest of the box brings!

Edit... 10 minutes later... Pack #4 had a Whiten Hand Over (with a very obvious scratch on the front)... Pack #6 had a Storm Davis WITH ®... so, a nice top row of packs.
Two previous cello boxes I opened, First had a Hand Over Whiten, but Davis with no ®... Second had 3 Storm Davis WITH ®, but Whiten was hand under.
Saving the rest for later (but not too much later with these two possibilities in the last 18 packs)

It's funny how something random can be streaky. I have opened quite a few 91 Topps boxes. I had a couple of wrong back player manager cards from packs that I had opened back in 91. A couple of years ago I decided to buy some 91 boxes and in some of the first few boxes I pulled some wrong back player/manager cards out of boxes from different sources but I haven't pulled any since. I went a long time before pulling a Trebelhorn A* code until I ended up pulling 3 from two differnt boxes pretty close together and I haven't pulled any of those since then. I also opened quite a few boxes before pulling a "vintage" card until I pulled two from back to back boxes from two different sources. One was a 1977 Craig Swan that was on the top with the gum and had the instant win card. The other was a 1972 Billy Conigliaro that was in the middle with no instant win game card.
