I noticed this graded pack of 1986-87 Fleer Basketball (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2585675&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1986-87-Fleer-Baskeball-Box-GAI-9-From-a-Sealed-Case-86_W0QQitemZ140168801729QQihZ004QQcategoryZ26369QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) on Ebay. The guy is obviously selling this pack in hopes that someone will buy it with the idea of having a chance of puling a MINT Michael Jordan rookie.

Now here is what is odd to me. The pack is selling for $5,900 already. If the buyers did just 10 seconds of research they could be focusing their effort on this BGS 9.5 Gem Jordan rookie (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2585675&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2FMichael-Jordan-1986-86-87-Fleer-Rookie-BGS-9-5-10-6500_W0QQitemZ150171693649QQihZ005QQcategoryZ58000 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem).

I'm not sure the exact odds of opening this pack and getting a Jordan Rookie, but I would take the sure thing even if it cost a bit more. There are too many risks of buying the pack! Could it have been search and expertly put back together? Could the card be off center or factory damaged?

This is a case where the idea is out selling realty!

Mike,
I would assume this and this is just me. This is a lawsuit waiting to happen. As if the grader GAI grade the box they should be grading that it has not been RESEALED (I mean they are the pro's at this). Buyers are not and a grading company should be protecting the collectors out there by slabbing a great grade on them.

p.s. It is a great read and I also read one by PSA which graded a pack of unopened 1952 cards or something at the Nationals. As the dealer who had it opened it for a small crown and needless to say he came away a LOSER. Talk about a lottery pack. If I can find that article I will post it as it was a great read from the Head of PSA (read it this weekend).
