While this makes great reality TV-like entertainment, I have to say what the heck does 1977 Topps cello packs and 1983 Fleer have to do with Pre-War? Pre-Desert Storm? This is exactly why I collect the old stuff - too many weird-o's mess with the shiny stuff.

If there is such an easy solution to figuring out what is a fake "star pack" or what ever the you call these things, why not post the key on the post-war side and go away or start talking about 1933 Goudey unopened packs.

This is not my thread, i do understand and think it probably should be in
the post war side, but Leon has kept it here which may be a good thing
this thread is getting a lot of attention on Google and Yahoo and i think
that's a good thing

It was decided, when this thread first went up, to allow it to stay here because of it's importance. In that respect nothing has changed.

No i didn't Nathan, but more fake packs got by Steve recently, and since you
are a Cincnnatii red fun be careful there is a few Johnny Bench 78 & 79 cellos in PSA holders floating arround and Bench never came in the top section in
those years, and yes i can be easily proven! in fact a few of the CU members already did the research with the info i provided and know the truth but they don't have the guts
to admitted meanwhile honest collectors like the one in the picture keep getting screwed.

isn't the big question here... Have you ever RELEASED (sold/gave away/traded) ANY fake packs into the hobby?

I do agree with Jose on one point ---- SO many people have figured out how to reseal cello and rack packs that it is more like that can simply manufacture them the same way topps did. It's not worth collecting them really. Good counterfeiters can make their work completely undetectable and no one, including PSA has any clue if they are real or not. There are even sellers that are coming up with their own custom-made rack pack wrappers (see the guy who is making rack packs to "hold" 1979-80 OPC Hockey Cards on ebay). He is not trying to sell them as authentic, but he has made them himself with header cards, plastic wrap or shrink warp so that someone without knowledge would think they are 100% real.
