Not me.  I would have had to see that in person.

Pat posted one of the shots on the previous page. The auction link is still populated with images as well.

here's the second shot of the front of the card

note the top and bottom right corners of the Ratz card are touched, which is something I've never seen in real card before.

Right...  Somehow I was thinking it was something different -- a wacky / ratz mashup in a 2015 logo or relic card.  I gotta pay more attention!

Unreal. Actually, the Run Tony probably is what puts it over the top, value-wise.   :]

"I contemplated removing the stickers but in the end realized that decision should best be made by its new future owner."
I think the seller's making way too many assumptions, like there actually WILL be a new future owner.     :D

Agree, but how about this claim of "Topps factory sealed" on a $5 sketch card???

could be a replacement item? or maybe one of the back-of-the-wrapper giveaway contest wins?

If they know what to look for, there could be some gems in there but the rest can be given away to kids to maybe start collecting

Not really a "nuts" auction, but does anyone else think the value is severely diminished on this with the sleeves cut off?
"Amazing condition with no issues whatsoever". Riiiiight...

Makes me think back to that magical day 6 years ago when I picked up three 16th series packs at the Allentown show for $20 apiece. They were probably already worth $150-200 at the time!

At that price, I think the unopened pack would be worth much more than the stickers in it.

It sure is worth more sealed if you can get that much for it.  With an Arise showing, you will also have Earth Bum and Sign x in there as well, not really high end titles.  Also, in all of the packs I have opened through the years, there was never a right sided piece in the packs with Arise showing though the back.  So the value opened would be at very best around $200 in todays market, maybe less.
Still looking for Series 17
