Opening Cello Pack #1

It’s been a while since I opened any packs of 1987 Topps to add to my set build. These next 24 cello packs I’ll be opening were purchased from eBay on July 6, 2024. Each cello pack contains 31 cards plus one stick of bubble gum and sold for $0.69 in 1987. I need 145 more cards to complete my hand built set, trying to do it solely with purchased wax packs, rack packs, cello packs and soon some jumbo packs. Here is cello pack #1:

Cello pack #1 was great, pulled my favorite player in Will Clark and a Hall of Fame in Cal Ripken. This pack had 5 cards I needed for my 1987 Topps build, bringing my total to 652 of 792 (82.3%) of the cards to finish the set. Stay tuned for cello pack #2.
