Do you ever see new things that make your jaw drop?

Wow

Not sure if this has been covered before, but wow. Here we are in 2010, and you finally see a box like this.

I think thats one of the most important unopened items auctioned in the last 10 years. Much like the 53 topps packs, when they first came to mastro, 54 topps boxes, the 55 topps football cello find, etc. Amazing, that you can still see things that are new in this hobby.

    Isn't the box empty? Still a great piece and a nice box for sure.

    Never saw that box before ... very unusual, only 12 packs per box? How many cards were there in each pack, 5?

    I know a few guys who would really like to have this.

    I'm thinking a "proof" of this box sold at the Toppsvault some time back?

    Good luck to those who might be bidding on this beauty.

    So I'm aware of how rare it is to find these nowadays in ANY kind of condition. But exactly how scarce were these boxes during their time?? Does anyone have info on print runs?
  • awesome box!!!!!

    Yeah, it is an empty display box, but I think its pretty amazing after all these years.

    A lot of boxes and packs seem to come out of the woodwork..

    -1953 topps baseball nickel packs. I dont think anyone had ever seen then (or at least not more than 1 or 2). Then mastro auctioned 12 or 14, 6 or 8 years ago by now.

    -Similar with 54 topps baseball (although I think they were canadian).

    Similar with hockey. A bunch of 60's topps packs were auctioned, and you never see them anymore.

    -57 topps basketball. There was a find of 6 or 10 packs a few years ago.

    I dont think any 68 3d packs are known to exist. But its one of the top test sets of all time. Theres also a stand up box in the same auction. Stand up

    Wow!! If an empty box of 3-D cards is worth that much, imagine how much a full box of '87 Sportflics would be worth!!
