What three items would you buy?

Last night going through the MileHigh auction I found a couple of items that I would love to have for my PC. Honestly, some of the items I really wanted was not a sport card but a non sport card item. This auction I think is perhaps one of the best auctions this year because of the variety of unopened. Boxes available from $100 a box to $200,000 and from football, baseball, hockey, basketball and non sports. Some of the single cards are pretty amazing, but this is not the most impressive thing about this auction IMO. The rarely seen 1933 Delong set is probably the best item in the auction for the true rarity.

My three dream items would be in this order.
1. Unopened 1965 Topps Football box
2. 1933 Delong Lou Gehrig- I have a gorgeous psa 6 but I think this is the nicest in the hobby
3. Unopened 1965 Gilligan's Island box

None of these items are mine. Yes, I have items in MHCC auction, but specifically not discussing these as the intent of this thread was to have a conversation about a great auction.

All great pieces coinspacks. If you could buy either of the 1964 Topps boxes, which one would you choose and why? I have mixed emotions on both of them. Would love to know your thoughts.

I would get the 6 card box and add one more pack to it for a full box.

I do like the nicer conditioned 8 card pack box but I wouldn't be able to fill that one up

I did not see the first two items that you had on your list in that auction. Are you speaking about the 1958 Topps Football box in REA?

It's all about the 5-cent wacky ads partial box! These packs have individually sold for $1000-2500 in the past, and the display box is one of the toughest wacky items. I'm lucky enough to own one pack, but one is not enough!

Granted, it's not sealed, but that 80T FB super case is so sweet. Talk about a unicorn.

I could go for three different Koufax items. Several items I've never seen before.

Paul, that pack is super cool.

My 3 items would be:

1915 Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe Jackson - PSA 4-7 centered and no tilt

1956 Topps Baseball wax box unopened

1975 Topps baseball wax sealed case

I would though support the Wacky Ads auction beats my view.
