Presented is an original unopened rack pack from the 1960 Topps baseball series housing three cello packs with twelve cards each for a total of thirty-six cards. The three individual cello packs are tightly sealed! While no guarantees can be made with respect to the grading of unopened material, there is the possibility that within these packs are high-grade examples of second-series cards, which most notably includes the #148 Carl Yastrzemski rookie card and #160 Rival All-Stars (Boyer/Mantle). This pack comes shrink-wrapped by Baseball Card Exchange (Steve Hart), the foremost expert on unopened material. This is one of only a handful of complete rack packs from this set that we have offered in the past twenty years. A tear of the outer cellophane at the upper-right and lower-left is noted for accuracy. This incredible rack pack originates from one of the hobby's most famous finds - Alan "Mr. Mint" Rosen's Jessup, Maryland, discovery of unopened material. This is a superb and very rare original rack pack from one of the key series of the 1960 Topps set. Opening Bid $2,500.
