That is one possible definition. There is also:

I will accept that there aren't any legit packs from 1971 that were fabricated by grocery stores, thus the "grocery" pack is a fake. Yet for us that don't know anything about packs there was nothing so telling in the two descriptions to lead to that conclusion.
No, actually it was the first one that popped up on google.

EDIT to copy/paste full description from lot 81010
1971 Topps Baseball Cello Pack GAI NM-MT 8 With Torre on Front. NOTE: This is a legitimate 30-card cello and not a fabricated 10-card "grocery" cello pack.

Offered is an unopened 1971 Topps Baseball Cello Pack graded GAI NM-MT 8. Based on top/bottom cards, this is a 3rd Series cello with the potential for a Mint or Gem MT card of Morgan. Foster RC, Jenkins, Brooks Robinson, Marichal, World Series cards, B. Williams, Rollie Fingers and Ted Williams. Guide Value or Estimate: $500 - up.
