Let's See Your Display Boxes

After looking at this thread and seeing some amazing boxes I went and picked up 2 from my first years of collecting. I remember going into Clio IGA and picking up some 1975 cards. Over the course of the summer I realized that some of my cards were smaller never aware that it was the mini version.

It's funny how they used a reversed short-brimmed Brooksie image for the basis of the 'Shtick Figure' on that box.

I spent the summer of 1975 on a lake in Upper Michigan, and all the corner store had available were minis. I've always liked them, and I think the 1975 box is one of the better designs. I believe the pitcher pictured is Hank Webb. The 1976 box you posted is a curious one — why is Brook Robinson batting left-handed, and why did he wear such a short bill on his batting helmet?

Didn't Brooksie wear a short bill for awhile by choice? I can visualize him wearing it at bat because I remember it looked so weird!

It was on full display in 1975. That's why I brought it up in post #51. The Topps art department just grabbed his '75 pic and did a reversal on it for the boxes. Pretty funny...

Here's one of my favorites, a 1961 Fleer box.
