Empty Topps wax box collectors?

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.
