1968 Topps Game Insert Cards
The cards are all mint in box - but centering on many leaves something to be desired.
Sweet collection.....the "banned" Air Jordan 1's are very cool!

That is all great to look at!
Don't waste your time and fees listing on ebay before getting in touch me by PM or at gregmo32@aol.com !
Lots of stuff I had never seen before - the 1968 Topps Game Insert Cards Boxed Set is phenomenal!

Ebay Store
They call me "Pack the Ripper"
I knew that others would appreciate getting to see items they never get to see, and none of the drool from IPads and computer monitors will get on to your cards and boxes! Seeing photos like this is great for the hobby since it allows people to see what they may want to collect. It don't know it is out there. Awesome stuff to say the least.

If I had to guess I would say you were born between 1971-1973?

That's around the time I graduated from college Keith.
I was born in 1947.
Which makes me about a 100.
That does not the usual mold. Most people start when they are 8 so they usually go forward that many years and load up when they get older. You should have a ton of mid 50's stuff!
<< <i>Dave--are you really sitting on 10 '72 wax boxes--or is there a double mirror in there somewhere????
Hilarious!! (Or should I say "Hi-Manny-ous!!")
<< <i> 1972 - 1975 Box Run (1972 Wax and 1973-1975 Rack)
That is just amazing.
Then just to show I don't think 75s are as hard to find as 74's or 73s
Then I found this sitting in a box the other day.

Just wait til he busts out the tons of 60s unopened.
One of the tougher boxes to track down, as these were produced in much smaller quantities than standard 79 cellos~a 79 super cello box:
Many of you know I'm also an avid collector of wax trays. Here is my run from 1974 through 1978:
Topps used two different wrapper variations in 1974. This was also the last year of this particular tray backing. Did anyone ever send away for the Exploding Battleship?
75, my favorite year from the 70s..
76 tray with 74 wrapper variation, which Topps reused that year. The way to tell if a tray is a 74 or a 76 is to check the cardboard tray backing which was different each year, and the pack price, which was 10c in 74.
77, complete with grocery price sticker..
79 wax tray box, complete with counter display carton, which is very tough to find.
Although technically not a wax tray, the one-year "wax rack" experiment employed by Topps in 1980 is one of my favorites, too.

72 and earlier BB cello
I found some of these buried with newer wax - 81-84T wax and 2 82D wax. The 83T cello has a Ryno showing. From BBCEx rip last year.
a picture so that we can all see what things looked/look like.
I started with the 1970s. I'm away from home right now so I cant take additional pictures yet, but here's a "teaser" for the 1960s (which I have
been posted in other threads before, but it belongs in this thread too).
This is the only known 1962 Topps BB Rack

That could be the sickest thing I've ever seen in my life...holy cow. Finally found something that I wouldn't be able to rip. CONGRATS on that bad boy!!!!
