Yea, like I said, not a basketball guy. But I am vaguely familiar with this issue. A 50k box would scare the heck outta me. I haven't heard of a legitimate box going that cheap in many, many years.
The sequencing is clockwork accurate. Let me tell a story I watched with my own eyes.
I was at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Cleveland, OH. in 2014 I believe, but don't quote me on that. I have been out to the Natty there twice and may have which time wrong. Anyway, I'm walking around and drooling at all the unopened when I overhear a small group of guys talking about the Fleer packs. Of course I knew exactly which ones they were talking about. They was blah, blah back and forth. One guy told the other....

If you buy a pack and tell me who the guy on the back of the pack is, I will tell you every card in order from that pack. If I'm wrong, I will take your group to some restaurant (didn't know the place nor care) and if correct the same in reverse.

My ears perked. A couple of dudes were gonna buy a 2k ish pack of cards and bet dinner on the sequence
That's what is known as having walking around money in my small world
Anyhow, they did it. Small crowd had gathered to watch. Guy bought the pack, rambled off the name of the last card (through the pack, you can see through these packs like many earlier issues) Other guy pulls out a small pocket notebook.
Pack gets opened. #1, such and such, #2, such and such, #3, such and such, and on and on. He nailed every one! Just by knowing the last player in the pack!!
Of course, no Jordan in the pack
