It's hard to believe that these things are 25 years old already & while I still have have some unopened Ripken boxes with the rotten macaroni still in them, I was wondering if anyone had ever seen these unfolded/unused boxes before? (btw, the Mattingly/Schmidt is box is avaiable if anyone is interested):

    I remember hunting that set down back in the day. I remember one panel was pretty tough for me to find but I don't remember which one it was.

    I haven't seen any un-folded boxes before but I have about 30 un-opened boxes with macaroni still inside. You think they are still edible?

    yes there are alot un folded boxes out there from the factory on ebay from time to time. i buy those to cut and submit to psa. thats the only way to get high grades cause there are no marks or creases from folded and being on store shelves. hope this helps.cc

    Daniel, you might be right about that. I will tell you what though, they sure were delicious in college. image

    I actually found all the un-opened boxes when I was home last X-mas at my moms. My dad had put them up in one of the shelves and I found them. She wanted to throw them out but I wouldn't let her.

    Wow, 25b years old. I have the complete set unopened in boxes. I haven't checked on them since I packed them. Wow, also have unopened Mother's Cookies with Nolan Ryan put up as well. My, how time flys, or is it flies? image
