I saw this "sell sheet" for 62T wax that's pretty cool. Toppsvault on ebay.

Nothing earthshattering or anything - but nice graphics - looks like it would be nice to frame.

It's already up to 20 bucks - I wouldn't probably spend a mess of money.

But, if someone were doing the 62T set - and have companion pieces like a waxpack and box - this would be nice to go with it.

    Think Topps still has any cases available at the listed price?

    Wow indeed! Crazy price for a sheet of paper, huh? Then again, that's what cards are made of, too, so why not?

    That would be great for the 62 Collector who wanted to add it to the set for display........but that's expensive.

    If I call Topps do you think they still have any of those 62T cases left over for $17.28 a case?
    I bet they might have a few left for sale. image

    The feedback % on the seller is a bit disturbing. 98% with 1000+ feedback, so that means 20 people gave him negatives. That's a lot of bad deals.

    I wonder if any other investment has appreciated over the past 45 years as much as unopened product. Just think: a wax pack that retailed for a nickel back in 1962 is worth more than $500 today , a return of more than 10,000 percent. Has any stock risen that high during that time frame? Just wondering...

    I would never be able to afford what this is going to go for, but it will be interesting to watch.

    Cool Mike! I'd not seen one before for baseball cards - similar sell sheets I've seen many times for model kits of the '60s, AMT, MPC and the like - but never for baseball cards.
  • originalisbestoriginalisbest Posts: 5,965 ✭✭✭✭
    And that final sales price was mighty impressive! I would imagine it was someone wanting it to go with their '62 set.

    Wouldn't it be sweet to have a box and packs as case-fresh as those pictured? (*long, low-whistle goes here*) !

    This is actually a return of 1 million percent (well, actually 999,900%), or 10000 times your original investment. By contrast, Berkshire Hathaway has averaged about 24% annualized since its formation in 1965. A very rough calculation using the rule of 72 would result in a return of (2^14)*(100) percent, or a bit more than a 1 million percent return, which I believe is the best run of any stock, ever. So, pretty comparable.

    So yeah, unopened material would have made a pretty amazing investment. Sometimes I wonder how much money is on the table in that great photograph of the Bronx Woolworth display from 1952. By today's value, I calculated something like $100million the last time I thought it through.

    That is an amazing photo. I wonder how many PSA 9 Mantles were on that table? Man what I wouldn't do for a time machine.

    Don't bother. I actually built a time machine a few years ago, went back to 1955, bought tons of unopened boxes of baseball and football, and stashed it in a warehouse in Tennessee. When I arrived back to the present time, I found out that Mr. Mint had already found it.

    Well if you are done with it can I borrow it? I need to pick up a few things from Woolworths?
