Found some additional card collecting areas that I am interested in pursuing and I have some duplicate
1970s unopened material in my collection that I can spare to help follow those interests (sorry, not parting
with any more of my 1975 mini boxes at this time).
All of these are Topps Baseball boxes that have BBCE LOA. My source of box acquisition is also specified. None
of these are recent acquisitions, though I did have them re-authenticated by BBCE just after the new shrink wrap
was introduced. Front & rear pictures of each box are included below.
All prices are net after any fees (or PP Gift, personal check, certified check, etc.) and include insured shipping.
Thanks for looking.
Item 1) 1972 Topps BB Wax Box Series 5 (Ryan/Rose) & Series 6 (Hi Numbers/Garvey/Carew & Carew IA/"Traded")
Source: BBCE (only owner since coming onto the market)
$11,100
Put away at home in a controlled environment back in the day by a former Topps executive. Certainly amongst
the more desirable series for this year given the possible stars and low pop high numbers. Box is factory fresh
and does not exhibit typical "distribution wear" of being sent out to a retailer and then being passed along over
the past 4 decades. BBCE has sold 2 in the last 9 months at $12,000/box.
Item 2) 1975 Topps BB Regular (not mini) Wax Box
Source: BBCE
$10,550
Plenty of mini boxes still out there from the Conlon hoard, and regular cellos are also pretty common given the
Fritsch inventory. It's the 1975 regular issue wax that has been few and far between in recent years. REA just
sold a similar box in their 2015 auction for $11,400 (including the 20% BP)
Item 3) 1975 Topps BB Regular (not mini) Rack Box
Source: BBCE
$11,600
Also from the former Topps executive stash, including racks with stars & HOFers showing including regular issue, LL
or MVP cards of Garvey, Bench, Jackson, Rose, Brock, Carlton, Schmidt (and others).
Item 4) 1976 Topps BB Wax Box
Source: Huggins & Scott
$5,700
VERY clean 15-cent ("1976 Series" wrappers) box
Item 5) 1977 Topps BB Wax Box
Source: BBCE
$3,950
From the sealed case break run by BBCE in 2013 (and labeled FASC)
