1980 Topps Empire Strikes Back "COLLECTING BOX"

frankhardy

I was wondering if someone could help me out . I am looking for a 1980 Topps Empire Strikes Back "Collecting Box". It is a red box that holds about 50 cards. It has a picture of Darth Vader on the front and C3PO on the back and it says "Collecting Box" on it. Where would I find one? Does anyone have any idea of it's value and what I would expect to pay? Are they rare or am I not seeing one on Ebay just because they aren't desirable? Any help would be appreciate. Thanks.

The Topps Archive blog by Dave Hornish makes mention of it. If you go about halfway down the first page, he mentions it and shows a picture of it on his April 28th entry.

You can try the Starwarsshop.com to see if they have any. There also was a large non sports collectors card site out there that might have it. I can't remeber the name but when I do i will forward it to you.

Nothing there. I did some more research and found out that the "collecting box" came out EARLY in series 1 of 1980 Topps Empire Strikes Back. These are very rare.
