Starting yesterday, Steve at BBCE said he wants to start writing in the BLOG SECTION every day up to the National. Well I found today's blog pretty interesting.

For those of you who didn't read it, here it is:

Where is the Vintage Unopened Material??

Over the last several months, we have just not gotten the calls to sell us vintage unopened material. I'm mostly talking pre-1981 stuff. It seems that in all 4 major sports there just hasn't been the material. We could really use just about anything pre-1981, but without much success! I guess this is good news for those of you holding this type of material! Of course, pre-1970 has been nearly impossible to find. But items we used to consider easy (such as 1977 and 1978 Topps baseball wax boxes) just don't pop up as often. Well, we have gotten some of each year in lately (77 and 78) but were completely resealed! Be careful out there. As the pre-1981 stuff gets harder and harder to find, the more resealed junk we will see hitting the market to try to lure in the buyers.

We added some more 1990-2000's unopened basketball and hockey boxes today to the website.

Thanks! Steve

    I read that too. On the part where he said he got some 77-78 in, but they were resealed, does that mean he bought some that were resealed or did he have someone offer to sell some that were resealed?

    I'm guessing someone sent them in with an offer to sell and he had to decline the offer. A lot of people own resealed stuff that they bought many years ago from supposed legitimate sellers.

    Sad part about that is those resealed products are still out there, because it's not like Steve can mark them or make the potential seller take them off the market. Just another reason for me to stick with BBCE for my unopened material.

    That's the way I look at it too Jeff.

    I will only deal with Steve on anything remotely valuable as far as unopened goes. I've got a nice little package on the way as we speak. image
