1971 Topps Unopened Cello Pack. Extremely Rare. Great Story. No Reserve

Description: Great story. You just cant make this stuff up..... Several years ago I shared office space with a guy from Scranton PA. Scranton is 9 miles from Duryea. Duryea at that time was where Topps manufacturing was. He had been telling me this crazy story (when he was a kid) about about him and his older brother making the drive to go "dumpster" diving at the Topps facility. My buddy got to keep the gum in the packs they found, and his older brother would get the cards. I kept telling him he was full of crap, and of course could he prove it. Turns out they had found a dozen of these cellos without any gum. So they never got opened. Guess who ended up with them? 30 years ago when I got them, the shows were the only place to sell them. I sold 10 of them 30 years ago at $100 per. I still kick myself, but it was party money. I kept two or them. This auction is for the last one I have. This is a mint cherry pack and box. Try doing some ebay searches and there is nothing. I have not seen one of these in years. This is a forth series pack. Cards 394-523. This series reads like a Who's Who of 1971 baseball. Hank Aaron, Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson, Bert Campaneris, Ken Harrelson (on the back). It's crazy. I know I will be kicking myself again, but it's time to move a lot of my collection. Buyer to pay $20 for insured shipping. Be sure to check out my ebay store for other high end investment lots. Thx for looking. Part 2.... I sent these off to PSA for grading and they would not slab them because they did not have gum. They said they might have been authentic but because the pack was altered from original specs....no grade for you. Just thought I would put that out there, thats is why they are not graded. The last one I sold was for $2,500 about a year ago. They left feedback if you want to scroll down...13 slots Be sure to visit my ebay store for other high end investment lots.
