Guys, I've got a few '57 vintage items that I need some help with. First off, I have a '57 Topps Baseball 5 cent wax box that I am wondering if anyone can tell me what this might be worth? The box is in pretty good shape with some minor wear on the corners and top of box but no tape jobs or anything like that. Does anyone know what these go for? Do they need to be graded? Also, I have a small booklet that was published in 1957 by Hillerich & Bradsby Company (Louisville Slugger). The booklet is a wax paper booklet with tons of pictures, stats, and stories about the greats of the '57 season (Aaron, Mantle, etc). If anyone could tell me anything about this book and what it might be worth I would appreciate it. Also, if anyone is interested in these please PM me or email me at mjmurphy31@aol.com. Thanks for the help guys!

    The 57T box is way too cool. The BBCKid has a guide (2002) which lists the box at 650$ - there is some writing and if some wear? Not sure what it will downgrade to?

    Stone, thanks for the help! I have heard of some guys getting these boxes graded by GAI but I'm not sure if it's worth it or not. I'll check into the BBCKid. Isn't his name Mark Murphy? By the way it's great to have you back on the boards too!image
