Any sport, but mostly curious about wax baseball. Anything older than 1977 Topps?

Thanks.

    For baseball, it's 1975 Topps (cello and mini wax).

    Basketball I believe is 1972/73 Topps Wax. I've seen 75 Topps FB Cello as well.

    I have a 1975 Topps FB Cello Box FASC. However I think there are earlier FB boxes.

    Tim, haven't there been some cases of 75 racks too? Or am I remembering wrong?

    I've only seen vending FASC from 1976. I'm sure there are cases out there waiting to be cracked though.

    I knew a girl named Jenny that sold me a 1969 Unopened basketball wax case as well as some 1957 basektball cello cases. Got them both for 10K. LOL!!

    Work hard and you will succeed!!

    That vaguely rings a bell but I dont recall seeing any boxes labeled FASC.

    This 1975 rack case thread was before the FASC designation, maybe even before boxes started getting wrapped at all since I don't know what year that started.

    Thanks, Nick. I believe the earliest FASC designation I've seen is around 2010...I know Steve has been wrapping boxes long before that with clear wrap and a gold business card but only for BBCE stock. The option for collectors to send boxes for wrapping came later.
