    I'll bet it does since the last one was over $15K four years ago.

    no it is not, but it is not everyday that you see a pre 75 bb wax tray for sale.

    🤣 Someone give me odds. If I get +350 or better I may be interested. Then if I win I want those discounted eBay gift cards.

    Heck, supposing I wanted to sell off a very rare and valuable item, I'd be shouting from the rooftops.

    Hang on let me get a pen and paper.
    Let’s see it says .10 cents per pack on the label. I see it’s unopened. Umm I , 2, umm 3 packs. That’s something like. Um what state are you in? Um hmm .30 cents out the door. Final answer

    Wow, I can't believe the last one went for $15k. Makes me sad I passed on the 1-of-a-kind 1961 wax tray that sold for around $16k about 7-8 years ago. I wonder what that one would go for? I'm also curious what my 1963 rack pack would sell for after the post-covid run-up in prices.

    This one will take me days. Pass

    my goodness is that a nice tray. there cannot be too many of those left. I find it interesting that REA mentions the possibility of high grade cards in the packs. as if anyone would ever purchase that tray to rip.

    I remember about 15-17 years ago, BBCE had one on their site for $5700 or so. I still regret not pulling the trigger back then though at that time 5K+ was a lot for this tray.

    I have a couple 74 trays (one with each wrapper variation) which is another really tough year to find.

    I've always been a huge fan of wax trays--sort of like FASC in miniature.

    I do know whose tray the REA one is (not mine). It was purchased at the National.

    Welp. You made me open mine. I would guess it only had about .29 cents worth of cards. Only star card was #33 billy Martin not sure but I think he was mad at me for opening it.
