    Collect auctions is legit. Most of their unopened comes from the Larry Fritsch stash.

    I noticed they said some was straight from the manufacture, I heard where Fritsch was the one who has had alot tucked away.

    Thanks

    I have bid and won some of their unopened 70's material in the past year. They were very professional and i received the material in a timely manner and in great shape. I am presently bidding on some of the basketball and hockey unopened in the current auction. The 68/69 hockey vending box looks interesting but the last one sold for over 11k in April of 2011. Presently it looks like the baseball unopened will sell for pretty high prices compared to last few auctions. The unopened material just seems to continue to rise in price. I'm keeping my fingers and wallet crossed. Hopefuly i can win one or two of the unopened offerings. As far as Collect Auctions go i have had good experience with them

    Bob ... if you are seriously looking at the 68/69 Hockey Vending box, believe it or not, it may be cheaper to buy directly from Fritsch. Here is the add from their most recent Catalog (Spring/Summer 2013 Vol. 1). Note that hockey box is just under $10,000.00.

    In the past some lots in this auction have had reserve prices. The 1971 BB series 4 vending box lists for almost $10000 or so in the Fritsch catalog.
    I'll bet there's probably a reserve of between $8500-$9000 on that box.

    Thanks for the info Doug
    The hockey box is a little out of my price range but some of the other vending boxes look interesting. We'll see what the 75 baseball vending goes for on the auction compared to what you could buy it for direct from Fritch. I paid $800 to Mark Murphy back in the early ninety's for a 71 baseball vending box. It was fun going thru the cards. Still got the bug......

    FRITSCH is selling it for $1,350.00 and someone paid $2,042.00 for it at the auction? NOT a smart buy??? Maybe there is a reason???

    I guarantee you that if you call Fritsch today to order a box it won't be $1,350 anymore, LOL!

    How much do you think that Fritsch will increase the price of the 75 topps baseball vending now? Based on past experiences.

    Eeesh $1100 for a 1976 vending box?!????

    Wonder where the one on eBay will end at tonight....it's around $400 right now with a few hours to go and I'm thinking that might be high considering vending is notoriously tough to pull 10's from.

    To think I bought 2 1975 basebal vending boxes for $5 each in 1975. I still have the cards as I built a set that year but they look nothing like near mint cards now. There was a lot of pitching, flipping and trading back in those days.

    It ended up selling for $560 but I believe there was a BIN for $500.

    Does that mean if you call Fritsch he'll go check eBay and lower the price to $560?image

    I was not able to purchase any of the sealed stuff in this auction set. But some went for nice prices.

    It's now been two Collect Auctions that the prices on unopened vending/wax/cello have evaded my bids.Last August I was able to score a few nice boxes.Has anyone called Fritch to see if they will sell the 75 Baseball Vending for $1350?
