Here's a photo of all my '70's boxes...unfortunately the top level is two rows deep, so a lot of the hockey and basketball boxes are hidden....

Would enjoy seeing similar photos from others. I know there have been previous threads like this but a lot of the photos seem to be dead.....

    Really nice collection. Those boxes appear to be in great shape. What kind of plastic are you placing those in? Looks like they were almost made for the boxes, but aren't shrink wrapped.

    Normal magazine sized comic bags are slightly too small for the standard wacky pack boxes, but I lucked into a brand that was slightly larger and fits them perfectly. For the long rectangular boxes, I just fold the excess bag over. I'll try to post a pic that shows the bagging more clearly.

    Love the wacky boxes too!

    Here are mine, don't have room for the 60's boxes in the display case. Also have a 1971 baseball wax box "collect all" version with bench instead of Rose. And yes the 1970 and 1971 FB wax boxes are full boxes image

    Love the display Dave. The box graphics jump out at you.

    John, I always like how you stage your stuff although you need to put some packs back into those baseball boxes to offset the football. image

    Great display boxes! I like the art and design on the vintage boxes--so much more creative than today. I wish I were as organized as you guys, LOL!

    Sure, but do you think you'll still be around at 82 Shane?
