Mixed Series Boxes
This isn't the first time I've seen something like this, but it's the most recent.
This is a link to a popular card dealer's YouTube channel. Every few weeks he highlights the top sellers at prominent auctions around the country. At about the 7 minute mark he showcases a 1966 unopened box which sold recently. If you watch for a few seconds, you'll see the box has a BBCE seal on the bottom that says it's a "series 2/3 box". Were there boxes with mixed series packs? I'd seen a couple other boxes before like this - all from some year before 1973, and whether they were all BBCE sealed or not I can't say, but they all carried a designation indicating they were from 2 consecutive series. Thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiIYKy5FIXc |

I am going to guess it’s a created Frankenstein box that was filled with loose 2nd Series and 3rd Series packs to completely fill an empty box.

Which begs this question - when BBCE certifies a box are they merely certifying that each of the 24 packs are sealed and authentic, or are they vouching for the box being likewise?
I know nothing about how this works, so I am curious - am I getting anything different if I buy 24 certified packs or 1 certified box? Apparently not? I would think they should provide some advisement to customer one way or the other. Last edited by deweyinthehall; 03-16-2024 at 01:18 PM. |

Recall that although Topps printed cards (e.g., series 2 was 110-196, series 3 was 197 to 283), the checklists reported series 1 as 1-88, series 2 as 89-176, etc.). So, if the box contained series 2 print cards, it would have cards from checklist series 2 and series 3.
Maybe that is what the writing on the box meant. |

I'm happy to take on the challenge of sending BBCE a question asking for an explanation.
Just so we're clear here - is everyone comfortable Topps would not have shipped a box containing packs from multiple 'print' series back in the day? |
