    Well it looks like the spike has hit the unopened market again. Steve had a good haul at the National.

    Were these items he bought ... or items he couldn't sell at The National?

    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.
  • Much of that stuff is from the National. Not sure what they picked up while there!

    Interesting to note the absence of early to mid 70s Topps baseball cello and rack packs.

    To rip? Or break open and encase the packs?

    I know the '71-'72 12 count basketball box is rare but doesn't that seem way overpriced? Packs go for well under 1k. Even at 1k each does that mean the box is worth 4-5k?

    Id also love to have some 76 opc packs...cant afford a whole box, but @ near $100 per pack, it would be great if we could pack out a box!

    I'm up for breaking this box and getting sealed packs. I see three folks on this thread also up for that.

    I think the 73 packs would be a decent buy @ around $145 each...we should split up one of those boxes before they are no longer available...certainly at least 12 of us would take a few of these

    I would be in for a few packs of the 1973 box if we did it.

  • They listed the rest of the PSA/DNA Michael Jordan autographs from the National on Ebay as well. Great selection.

    The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

    I have noticed that some of the older unopened that BBCE had before the National took a jump too in price when it came back to the site. I see the that the 1986 -89 basketball was updated but I sure hope the rest of the buying site gets updated. I know they have much on their hands getting everything back up. I know it would be harder but I would love to see individual buying pack prices on rack, cello and packs if graded by PSA even if just a little section.
  • One of the benefits of attending the National as you get to see stuff that probably won't make it through the day before someone purchases that item and prices are cheaper in person verses going back to the site.

    Have never seen a blank tray like that one. Correct product code is on the cellophane, though. Personally, I'd prefer the tray with the ads and mail in offers, as the graphics themselves are pretty cool.

    Aren't the BBCE prices on the empty wax boxes a little steep? $300 for an empty 1969 baseball box that doesn't even appear to be pristine? I paid $35 for the one below 6 or 7 years ago. I got the near perfect '67 below for $70 around a year ago. Is it believed that prices on empty boxes have risen along with unopened?

    Display boxes in good shape are very hard to come by without tears or tabs pulled off. I have looked a while to acquire mine, and for the 1968-1970 boxes $250-350 for a clean box is the norm. The 1974-1976 boxes run $40-80 on average. Here is a photo of some I have acquired. Have some extra 1976's in perfect shape, and some extras of 1968-1970

    Dave, the box you show below the 69 is actually a 67 and not a 68.



    I picked up three very tough boxes from Steve at the national and although I felt his prices were a little high they were boxes you don't see every day (one is likely one of only two or three known, the other is very tough though not quite as rare and the third one isnt rare per se but is seldom seen in nice condition). Suffice it to say the price notwithstanding I was happy to pick them up and cross them off my listimage

    How about some pics, David? Or at least revealing what the boxes were. image

    Those prices must be a recent development. I can see the early-mid sixties boxes being more expensive, but I never thought of the '69 box as particularly tough. Out of all the boxes from 1967 up, the most I ever had to pay was $125 for this one.

    Tim, you know I like being ambiguous! And besides, you already know what the boxes are but your wish is my command!

  • Sounds like theres enough interest for that 73 box how do we put this together

    What did that one go for ballpark wise - awesome looking box.

    The '71 I paid $125 for. But I'm starting to realize I'm losing track of time. I just flashed back to bidding on this box during John Maine's near no hitter for the Mets -- in 2007. Doesn't feel like 9 years ago!

    Those are some beautiful boxes.
