Looked at the sign, its the same design exactly.

The "whites of the eyes" on the box are more white, and some parts of the image of the hair seems crisper/clearer.
Maybe someone can find proof these boxes existed before 1993.
Maybe an ad in Baseball Hobby News, SCD, or The Traders Speak, or a picture in an early auction catalog maybe???
Better would be to find the underwear inside the box.
*Negative about these white sided boxes is they are too common, and always seem to be flat, with no bottom. Anyone seen a complete white sided box?
Also the 18 year old repo sign seems scarcer than the box too.
Lets solve this mystery
