You won't be able to find one - and if you did, it would be in a place like Mastro. Look at Mastro's current auction and track the prices realized for the 1960/1961 vending and use that as a proxy for your football vending box. Use the price of commons of each set to work your way backwards to the football price. But, bottom line - you're not going to find one, even if you start throwing crazy money around.
I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
To clarify my question regarding the 1959 Topps football box, The box actually exists and I would like to get an idea of approx. how much it's worth. I realize this is quite a rare find and would like some insight into the set from the fooball collectors out there. Rick

Sey I have never seen one and if you were to compare the relative box to vending box cost and do a little 'creative' math, it could be anywhere in the 12K to 20+K range? Series II pack at 250$/6 cards (50$/card) for a reference. This is a stupid guestimate. Mike
My guess is that it would bring 25 k to 50 k at auction. Hard to say, since I can't remember seeing any football vending boxes from the '60s, let alone the '50s.
I would not be so quick to say a vending box can not be found.
About four years ago, I purchased a couple of raw '59 football on eBay. After the cards arrived (they were very nice), I asked the seller if he had more available. He stated that he had a partial vending box that he had puchased in the 1970's. After conversing via email, I emailed a want list of about 25 cards. He was kind enough to send me multiple copies of most cards on my list so that I could choose the best examples. Alll the cards were mint vending cards, but of course, some had typical printing and cutting flaws.
I have about 75 cards that would grade PSA 8 or so they are all pack fresh let me know because I was planning to send them in for grading. They are the nicest vintage FB cards I have sold and they are clean if you want them
I submitted a few at sportsfest to GAI for raw review they got 8's and 8.5 so they are legit and I know how to grade the vintage items
