  • I remember buying a sealed case of 80-81 Basketball for $4000 30 years ago. THAT was huge money. $200 a box. I wish I had that case now

    If Fritsch Cards had large quantities of '60s unopened left, would we not see them in their catalog? I still see some cellos from 68-up priced pretty high, but nothing before then.

    While Fritsch has a ton of unopened material still, the amount has dwindled considerably. If you check (compare) the catalogs that he put out back 10 years ago to the last one he published, you will find that he did not have many of the years in wax or in rack packs. Some years all he had was vending and some years all he had was cello. Not many people can really confirm what he has left, but it is quite obvious what he does have (and does not have) based on what he gives Collect Auctions for consignments. My opinion is he has very little pre-1971 product. I have seen vending from 1970 FB series 1, 1971 Topps Baseball series 1/2/3/5 and some vending from 1969 BB last series but that is it. I am not saying he does not have anything, but nothing to move the needle to be concerned about. If memory serves me correctly, he had a ton of 1975 cello and 1975 mini but hardly had any 1975 Topps wax.

    Can’t tell from your reply whether you are aware, but the post you replied to was from 2009.

    Lol. I did not look at the date. I will go to my corner and shut up now.

    I remember Fritsch selling 75 cellos for $100 …. I bought a few but I miss those lowest priced days!

    They were actually $75 for the longest time ("Limit 2"). I placed many "Limit 2" orders.
