About ten years ago I had the find of my lifetime. Although I didn’t recognize it as such at the time. I won’t go into the details but I purchased these six unopened boxes of 1976-77 Topps basketball cards at a local comic shop. I paid $20.00 a box. The following day I sold them to Baseball Card Exchange for $600 a box. I was thrilled and had a very fun hobby shopping day. I bought a nice 1955 Clemente, a pretty 1954 Hank Aaron, a game worn Pudge Rodriguez jersey, and a game used Reggie Jackson Black Adirondack among some other fun things. Year before last Goldin sold a single box certified by Baseball Card Exchange for $13,000. I am still traumatized by my absolute lack of foresight.
