1955 Topps Cello Ripped Open
Didn't see this posted anywhere and thought I'd bring it to the big board.

Agree very cool. I'd get a lot of enjoyment from being the one to rip that open.

Holy crap! That guy scored big. There's no way I would have gotten that lucky.

That was an awesome rip. What did he originally pay for the cello pack?

I wonder if the consignor of that pack has seen that thread. Incredible!

This might be an apt moment to ask: How do people judge the legitimacy of packs offered for sale--ones that are not graded? Is it pure blind or do you put stock in auction house claims or what? What is track record? If this guy didn't pull a 2nd Mays and a Clemente wouldn't you have guessed that maybe pack tampered? I've always been tempted to take this plunge but never enough faith that getting legit pack. Willing to take chance on getting non-star cards but only if believe not tampered....

I hate to be the cynic in the room, but we're expected to believe that he ripped open a '55 Topps cello pack, pulled out not one, but two Willie Mays cards, and then a Clemente rookie that's perfectly centered when every other card in the pack is at least 90/10 off center?
 If I had a '55 Topps cello pack to rip, you can bet your sweet bippy the rip would be recorded, and posted unedited. What, he can afford to drop $2k on a 60 year old baseball card pack, but he has no capability to record said rip? Really? A little later in the same thread, somebody mentions the same guy ripped a '79/'80 O-Pee-Che pack, and pulled out a Gretzky rookie. Either this guy has the greatest luck, or something is rotten in Denmark.

I once ripped a pack and pulled a Ruth. Unfortunately it was a pack of 1991 Conlon Collection.

Why does everything have to be rotten in DENMARK? Can't it be Sweden or Finland? And since those places are so cold, it's hard to believe stuff goes rotten very quickly anyway. Peru, I could see...............
The coinkidinks are amazing............

Color me skeptic as well. It makes for a better story with monster cards in it.

I honestly hope it was real. No reason to root against a fellow hobbyist.
But it seems highly implausible that the Clemente was the last card. Wouldn't you have seen that through the cello? Can't imagine it would have sold for $2k if that was the case.
