Quite possibly the finest of the 1980 Topps unopened cello packs is the specimen being offered here. Visible directly on top, is piece number #482 of the set, Rickey Henderson's rookie card. Nearly impossible to find free of centering issues, this example defies the norm by displaying perfect balance around its borders. So scarce are examples that have earned a grade of Perfect 10, that the recent list price for this card is over $7000. What makes this all the more incredible is where it was found, resting on top of this equally impressive cello pack, surely making it the most valuable and desirable 28-card pack of its kind. Graded GAI 9.5 GEM MINT.
