Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

I think Sean's math is a bit off...

I tried to get you guys a $10 discount per pack.
I tried.
Just kidding.

It should be $487.50 w/10%.
<< <i>The box is listed as containing 48 packs... So unless that number is wrong my numbers aren't wrong. >>
$487.50 would be $541 less 10%

Yeah I fixed it, I assume I fat fingered something when doing my math lol.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
A PSA 7 Pack Series 1 pack with Drysdale on top and Ford on the back sold in January 2011 for $334.
I know a full box commands a premium, but this is a 45% premium (assuming 10% discount is possible).
There are some decent names in series 1, but very few individual cards that would cover the cost of a pack
if you ripped it and pulled a PSA 9.
It's an awesome box, and given the rarity I am sure Steve paid a hefty price for it. Still, I'm inclined to pass
at this level. Even with 10% it's $7400 over the cost of 48 PSA 7 star packs.

The description says that packs are NMMT to Mint and since he does the grading, I am guessing he is right. Any idea what your example would go for if it was a PSA 8 or 9?

The Champs, Whitey Ford, Al Kaline, Roger Maris, Don Drysdale, Frank Robinson - so many stars, hardly any commons!
<< <i>Breaking that box would be like buying a Ferrari and parting it out. >>
I agree; I think this box should stay intact, but when it comes to satisfying one collector or potentially 48, I'd go with the latter. We just can't keep up with the demand on product for box breaks!

That is the strange fact of ebay auctioning and unopened stuff. If I had seen (or ever had the time) to go through ebay, I would have paid $500 for that Ford/Drysdale pack as it would have sold in 30 seconds on my website for $600!
I wish I had more time to look through ebay auctions. However, it seems ebay has gone to 99% buyitnows at prices that are not reality!
Thanks! Steve

I respect that Steve has to make money and do not be-grudge him that at all. The limited recent sales info I can access through VCP
seem to say that he may have his money tied up in it for a while. Over time I am sure it will increase in value, and that someone will ultimately buy it.
Who knows, it might even be me.
I must admit that despite the lofty price I am still tempted....

I thought Steve only validated the authenticity and someone at PSA did the grading.
Also, the box itself is worth some money so that should be factored into the pack cost.
<< <i>I thought Steve only validated the authenticity and someone at PSA did the grading. >>
You thought correctly. He validates it's authentic and unopened. PSA gives it the grade.

Remember some of the stuff he got after the national, I think some 75 topps racks. This stuff will get gobbled up, even at a high price.

ain't that the truth!! I rarely bother much on ebay anymore as I don't have time to weed through all the trash and few auctions. auctions are usually a losing proposition
I bought that ford / drysdale pack as I happened to run across it looking for something else. I sold it to a board member here for about the average price of a pack in steve's box with 10% discount a month later.
regarding the box, it would be a shame to break it up. 67 packs come up fairly regularly but complete boxes have become near extinct. the box is worth more (and priced higher) intact
And what happens when you don't get the Drysdale pack? You get the Barry Moore pack.
And what happens to that box? The box is not only worth money but it is sweeet! I love my empty 1970 box.
This box at this price is for someone to not enjoy and to stick in a closet hoping that it goes up a few grand in a few years. Who knows, it may go down.
But honestly, I would love to have that thing in front of me and rip every pack.
For series 1, I don't think it's worth breaking that thing of beauty.

I'm definitely a believer in keeping less common complete boxes intact. And besides, individual cellos can be found for a lot less.
As I have stated earlier, who know...it is extremely tempting.

Kinda like 1970 Topps Series 5/6/7 wax, eh?
Dave
<< <i>Now that was a box worth ripping! >>
How did that Ryan end up grading anyway?
Dave
I know you enjoyed ripping it, and I can understand that as an unopened collector who rips his share of packs, but I'm still sad that high series 70 box wasn't kept intact, lol. The whole was in fact much greater than the sum of its parts in that case.

<< <i>Sorry to those of you who wanted this 67 box to break, but it has been sold for full price! Thanks! Steve >>
NICE!!
<< <i>I think the Ryan graded an 8, IIRC. >>
I'm with you Tim on that box. The rip was enjoyable for many but knowing that there is now one less 1970 5/6/7 intact wax box is somewhat sobering. I doubt it was the last of its kind, but there can only be a small number left
As for this 1967 box, anyone interested in putting together a consortium to buy it and keep it intact as both an investment, as well as a conservation effort?
Assuming we can get the usual 10% discount of course
Dave
Wow! I knew Cpamike was putting in longer hours and all, but this is is quite a feat!

I've heard that someone has half a case of high number 1970 wax boxes sitting around. This was several years ago so I don't know if it's been broken up since then. However, they are still out there.
Sorry I petered out on showing the rip but it was mentally draining!!

I was going to post when the thread first went up that the box would not last twenty-four hours.
Between Grote and Cpamike, the good stuff goes quick.
I was fornunate enough to grab a crumb today -> a mini 75 cello with Keith Hernandez Psa 9.

I expected this to happen rather soon. as soon as anything new like that is posted, it goes away rather quickly.
