    I would take the 1965 A&BC Rolling Stones. Started a low grade set and would love to rip into a new box.

    I would take 1968/69 Anglo Yellow Submarine. I have never even seen an unopened pack.

    1967 Leaf Star Trek. Limited supply since inventory was destroyed when license for the cards was denied.

    Purely for the value the 1st choice is the 1962 Mars Attacks. Second choice would be 1965 Donruss Disneyland Puzzlebacks. Third choice would be 1966 Get Smart.

    Slacker,
    I've told this story before, but long story short, I bought 1962 Mars Attacks form a Vending machine in front of the first 7-11 in Sacramento Calif. when I was 6 yrs old. Did quite a few sets at a Penny for 5 cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1973 Wacky Packages series 11. I have never seen one and it is the toughest series to find quality material from. I am #1 on the set registry yet I have so many cards that don't have high grades.

    Just thought of another box I'd like to buy, the 1980 Creature Feature....I've found packs but no boxes anywhere.....

    A nice sealed box of Alpha MTG booster packs!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • slackerslacker Posts: 231 ✭✭
    wow an alpha box would sure go for some serious coin.

    I guess a Gilligan's Island or Brady Bunch box would be pretty interesting!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    There was Brady Bunch box on E-Bay a couple/three years back going for either $15,000.00 or $20,000.00 can't remember which! And I don't know if it was the regular or test set. Gilligan's would be in the same type of neighborhood.

    I would go with the Gilligans Island......or maybe Get Smart.

    Hey Alnavman, what does a Creature Feature box go for? I have one that I was thinking of packing out when I start an ebay store.

    Thanks,

    Box of 1930's R37 Crime Does Not Pay since a card in poor/fair condition goes for over $2K.
