ROBERTS, Justice
(concurring).
I agree with the majority that our decision in Luskey v. Steffron, Inc., 461 Pa. 305, 336 A.2d 298 (1975), should be applied to all sheriff’s sales initiated after April 17, 1975, the date of our original opinion. I also believe, however, that the same standards should apply to cases raising the inadequacy of notice which were pending and not finally litigated on April 17, 1975. Where the validity of a sheriff’s sale was already in litigation it cannot be said that application of contemporary standards of due process would unreasonably cast a cloud on property titles. Moreover, application of our decision to cases pending on April 17,1975, will ensure that individuals similarly situated to the Luskeys will be treated equally.
MANDERINO, J., joins in this concurring opinion.
