Is there anyway to ascertain a "book" price for these? Obviously you could run an eBay completed listings search (and you might find these two that I just bought from there...) but other than that, what kind of value do you think these hold? I know Beckett has wrapper prices but nothing for boxes/set packs, etc. What do you all think? Are these worth anything or is it completely random, finding the right buyer who finds value in them???

BTW-the one in front is 59 baseball wax pack box and the back one is some kind of vending/set box for 74 Topps baseball...

    the top one is a regular '74 wax pack box, not vending. I remember buying packs out of those boxes, that is why it says .10 on it. I think in '74 vending was still the generic blue and white boxes.
    Prices are all over, and depend on the condition and scarcity. Best bet is to look up realized prices from previous catalog auctions. I've got a few sitting on my desk right now I"m trying to gauge value on ('70 Topps, and '54 Topps penny packs, if anyone has a range) and it's a tough call. The market is thinly traded, so it often depends on the underbidder.

    It takes two bidders to run the price up. So the underbidder is what price he stops bidding.

    the underbidder is the runner up in an auction. The winner has a higher bid, the winning bid is determined by the person that drives him up to the final amount.
