Anthony, do you not reply to pm's?!?!

Have sent you two pm's in the past three weeks (on 12-2 and 12-12) and have yet to hear back from you.

That being said, please check your pm inbox; thanks!!

Wow Kirk. Those are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing! My name is Kevin, by the way. Not sure why it doesn't show up under my user name. Why do you have multiples of some years? Variants? Or just found a great deal? The stacked display behind some of them that are "popped" for display looks neat. Gives me a great idea for mine. Thanks!

Kirk, those was display boxes are BEAUTIES!!!

Back in the 90's I started to collect wrappers but stopped because I was getting too scattered in what I wanted to collect and I have found if you are too scattered you never finish even one thing you want to collect.

So, my focus has been back on cards exclusively. I did purchase years back Mark Murphy's Price Guide to Unopened Packs just to enjoy the many pictures in the guide.

Again, great stuff Kirk and thanks for contributing to this thread.

Those who have shared have great collections you should all be proud of!

One of my favorite areas here and a great thread started. Once had an enormous collection and due to financial strains, I sold them off to Ron Oser some years back. My favorite that I remember having was a 1937 Goudey Flip Movie box and the perforation was still intact.
I also had the lid only to the 1967 Punchboards with Mantle pictured.
In the years I collected them I found that the odd year penny boxes were tougher to find for some reason rather than the even years.

Rick,

Any idea if this is due to local distribution issues or if this is the case nation wide? I have never heard this before. Also do you have a pic of the '67 box with Mantle on it?

Thanks for sharing.

Hey Zack
I am not certain as to why that was the case. It was just from my own perspective that was the way it seemed to be from the years I collected them.
Sorry, I don't have a pic of that because I parted with it some years ago with a bunch of boxes to an auction house. I wish I still had them all again but perhaps I can rebuild some day especially when the economy gets better. I remember it was orange in color and had a flesh colored hand punching through a stand up card and Mantle's pic was on the top of the card. I obtained it in a collection that once belonged to Woody Gelman.
Regards,
Rick

Sorry about that Rick. Realized that I didn't say "pack." I have never seen a mid 60's rack box.

Thanks for the kind words Kevin.
I did look for your name previously.

As far as mutiples of some years, actually I'm attempting to collect the display boxes in all the different Series they were issued during the decade of the 1960's in Baseball & Football.
That's why you'll see many mutiples, especially with Baseball.
Yea, It's True .... I have a thing for boxes!
