I am looking for a 1987 Donruss FASC box. He hasn't had one for a while and I don't want to pay $100 on eBay for 1.

I'm going with non-sports involving an actual monster, maybe MTG or Pokemon. Possibly high end CGC comic as an outside shot.

No way does Steve Hart advertise this as a MONSTER with non sports.

Does anyone ever know what became of the 1952 high number wax box that was auctioned by Mastro about 10-15 years ago? There was some controversy surrounding that one and then I never heard anything more about it.

A confirmed unopened box of Summer MTG would be one hell of a monster for a CGC box. I had the weirdest dream the other night that I found a case of these boxes randomly in a deal and made six figures off the case. I haven't bought/sold MTG cards in about 5 years now so this was an odd dream.

For those that know a little bit about Magic The Gathering. "Summer" Magic is more rare than any boxes of Alpha or Beta and was basically an attempt to fix some issues with the 3rd Edition/Revised Edition which ended up not going as planned and it is said that 99% of the "Summer" edition was destroyed but a few cases made it out to like Texas, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and I believe Ireland. Look at eBay sales for what these sell for in graded condition and it is insane.

I opened maybe 3 or 4 packs of these way back in the day through Troll and Toad and after putting them away with a bunch of other singles I had forgotten about them. About a decade later when I attempted to locate them mixed in with around 50,000 singles I had no luck finding them.

The last known unopened case of 1988 Donruss

Maybe an unopened 53 foot trailer of 88 donruss cases. FAST has a nice ring to it.

1952 Topps or 1986 Fleer basketball case(s)

If a case or cases of 86 fleer were found, would bbce wrap each box FASC, sell in one $500k+ auction, or would a private buyer grab it before others can dream of either option?

They already told us a few months back what the "Monster" is. They acquired a run of T-206, aka the Monster set

We are talking about BBCE here. It’s going to be a sports unopened something. I’d venture to go out on a limb and say it’s baseball.

Here's an e.g. of a sale from way back:

With that kind of price point?

I would expect someone to lock'em up and bring'm out a decade later since I'm sure they've gone up.

That was already over $8,500 a pack 15 years ago. What's a legit pack go for these days?

$11500 is what one sold for a couple weeks ago on milehigh

Same here wasn't it found out that it was a 4 card pack box or something? I remember it was also bought then sold like 1-2 months after the first purchase for like a 80,000 loss too?also story was a bit off with where it came from. Like the owner opened 2 packs them put the full box in storage afterwards. But what about the 2 packs type thing?

At the top of the blog post on their website that talks about the "Monster" item is a picture of T-206 backs. In several issues of SCD, BBCE ran ads showing the large accumulation of T-206 that they were sending off to PSA. No doubt they always bring insane and awesome unopened, but come on guys, the Monster is clearly that run of T-206.

Maybe within that MONSTER collection they also found an unopened box of t206 packs and BBCE authenticated them as having a card inside. Would be pretty cool to see the cost on those.
