Well nobody can beat Ted Z. 1952 Topps Mantle, but I did get lucky 30 years ago---I had a 24 count 1955 Topps Cello pack (high #)---I tried to sell it at the Ed Keetz show way back for around $1200---it didn't sell and when I got home, I decided to open it--Well it went well, Berra--Rizzuto--Clemente--Snider and then another Clemente---at the time, I figured around 6K---I sold the 1st Clemente and held on to the second one. But I had a friend who was the sound man for Aerosmith. He purchased the 2nd Clemente for around $2600 and my 2 daughters and I got to meet the band and take pictures at a concert here in Maine---I gave Joe Perry a Larry Bird rookie for his son. Steven Tyler hugged my daughters and they were really nice to us.---Sure wish I had those cards back.---they did come out of the pack mint, the one Clemente was a bit OC---but still nice.
