Hey,


Can you please name some good places to pick up boxes/cases besides eBay? Garage sales are hit/mostly miss...any good experiences with flea markets and/or other local outlets? How about online? - as we all have experienced, google searches are not as finite as they might be. Seems tough to find rack and/or vending boxes & crates (besides topps)....there's lots out there, let's help each other obtain while we help others unload unused stashes image

    If their 'buy' prices were sale prices, I'd agree...however, I haven't seen many great deals on there in comparison to eBay (at least in 80's unopened stuff)...also looks as though their cases are not sealed...forgive me again I'm new to this. Thanks

    You will not find a more trusted place to purchase unopened than BBCE.

    Are you planning on opening what you are buying or keeping it unopened? Either way, be careful with buying unopened. Especially with the higher priced unopened there is a risk of buying tampered, resealed product. Even sellers with 100% feedback on eBay can be found selling questionable unopened product. In many cases, they may not even be aware they are selling bad product. The reason BBCE prices are higher is because they have the best reputation in the unopened market as being experts on the product. If you are buying from them, you can generally be assured of buying legitimate unopened material. If you look at completed sales prices of 70's/80's unopened on eBay, you will see a large premium for BBCE authenticated/wrapped boxes vs. regular unopened sales. BBCE actually has pretty reasonable prices on most of their product. It is not uncommon to see them sell out of a product at one price one day and then see the same BBCE wrapped box sell for a higher price later that week. Good luck in your search for unopened.
