    I was at an antique store a few weeks ago and they had a 1988 Topps empty wax box in fair condition for sale for $10.00. I thought he should just of thrown it into the trash or list it for maybe $1.00.

    << <i> maybe $1.00. >>



    as long as it was full of packs
  • At least the empty box in 1988 is probably worth more then the full box.

    Donovan quit collecting stars showing/semi older wax as he cannot afford it. I think he's now planning on robbing a 7-11. Valentines Day is approaching and I would appretiate a few dollars in our account so I can get a gift.
    Sincerely, his Wife.

    I don't collect empty boxes, but did pick up the 68T box with Mantle on it - boxes - even back in the early 90s drew attention and went for nice money.

    Nice pickups Mugsy! Good luck in the future.

    griffins - you need to remove one of the picture tabs, it's labed as: "WaxBoxes.tif.jpg"
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
  • GriffinsGriffins Posts: 6,076 ✭✭✭
    Thanks Barry!
    The url is actually tif.jpg
    Makes no sense but that is how image event does it, although in this case there was something glitchy.
