Presented here is one of the more unique collections we have encountered. We have obviously seen collectors build outstanding runs of packs some focusing on the artistic designs of wax packs others focusing on cello or rack packs some simply featuring Hall of Fame players visible on the front or back of the pack. In this case the collector went through the painstaking process of seeking out a complete run of unopened cello packs each featuring Hall of Fame wide receiver Steve Largent's card at the top of the pack. Who does that? And yet here it is: the ultimate player collection featuring each year's card on top of an unopened pack. All but one of the packs have been graded and encapsulated by PSA. The collection includes the following: 1) 1977 Topps: Largent rookie card on top checklist on bottom graded MINT 9 by PSA; 2) 1978 Topps: ungraded but with a tight seal; Largent on top and Terry Beeson on bottom; 3) 1979 Topps: Gorgeous pack graded GEM MINT 10 by PSA Largent on top with Doug Dieken on bottom; 4) 1980 Topps: Graded MINT 9 by PSA with Largent on top Steelers checklist on bottom; 5) 1981 Topps: Graded MINT 9 by PSA; Largent on top Craig Colquitt on bottom; 6) 1981 Topps: Graded NM 7 by PSA Largent's "In Action" card on top Brenard Wilson on bottom; 7) 1982 Topps: Graded MINT 9 by PSA Largent on top and Don Strock on bottom; 8) 1983 Topps: Graded MINT 9 by PSA Largent on top and Rick Karlis on bottom; 9) 1984 Topps: graded MINT 9 by PSA Largent on top and Max Montoya on bottom; 10) 1985 Topps: graded NM-MT 8 by PSA Largent on top Darryl Talley on bottom; 11) 1986 Topps: Graded MINT 9 by PSA Largent on top Steve Young on bottom; 12) 1987 Topps: Graded MINT 9 by PSA Largent on top Pat Ryan on bottom; 13) 1988 Topps: graded NM-MT 8 by PSA Largent on top David Little on bottom; 14) 1988 Topps: graded MINT 9 by PSA Largent Record Breaker on top Troy Stradford on bottom. A tremendous complete run of Topps cello packs spanning the career of Hall of Fame receiver Steve Largent each featuring the card of Largent on top of the pack. We jest but this is quite an outstanding collecting achievement that requires a great deal of patience diligence and a watchful eye. 14 packs total.
