1975 Topps Baseball Cello Unopened Case

[cbrandtw]

Like I said, I would have dropped $65K on that case in a heartbeat if I had the money. That way I could have sold it for it's final selling price of $79,218.30

If you ever tried to open this, here's a reference point for your ROI, assuming you could even get 1 of these:

PS: anyone looking at that card I linked think PSA was being lazy when they gave a 10, considering the centering L/R on the back?

Looks like it sold for 66,569.79... Still a hefty sum. I would have sold it

Yes...but dang the rest sure looks pretty. Though like you said, I don't think you even have very good odds at ONE of those

Wow, that's crazy, nearly $70k but I think the buyer has to pay some sort of fee too, so it's probably up in the $75k range or more, idk.

As for the PSA 10 Yount, that's also crazy... what are people offering on the card or what's it kinda worth?

mrdallas, when the gavel hit the auction ended at the $66k+ you stated, however, the buyer pays another 19% on top of that suggesting the actual sell price I quoted.

I believe it was mentioned earlier that this case will and should remain intact for an awful long time. The sell price isn't for what could be pulled from the case but instead the case as a whole itself. Some people collect cards, some people collect unopened packs, boxes or cases of cards and some people collect empty wrappers, boxes, and cases. Whatever you are into, this case is an amazing collectible piece.

It says (next to the end price) that the buyer's premium was included in the final price of $66,570...

66,570 is the final price including buyers premium.

No, they are known to be lenient on back centering.
