Here is one for you, this is a sealed box of 25 1964 proof sets, I now own the box. What about the picture really got me thinking that I had to have this box?
It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

Bought it from the seller (and not for the auction price).

Sean nailed it. Here's what the later labels looked like:

Interesting, be funny if someone bids on it now.

Cool, the seller and I could split the profit!

Congrats on convincing me the black stuff was mold. I thought it was just incidental tire marks.

True. I forgot what upstanding members we have here.

Just make sure there are no witnesses when you whip out the camera.

I was thinking the same thing........
<< <i>So if that's got 1964 sets in it and the package was shipped before zip codes which means it was shipped before 1964 that means the entire box must be first strikes! >>
You need a .. priest ..a rabbi..and a monk as witnesses.....!!!!!

Interesting observation Russ. We know "Flusher" is an AH, so why would he try to pay for AH's?
