FSH: Unopened 1979 Topps Baseball Cello Case from BBCE

[Flintboy]

25K is a little steep don't ya think? Steve's (BBCE) buy price on a 79 cello case is 6k, a 19k mark up???? I understand trying to make a buck, but really???

Those are Steve's advertised prices, what he actually pays for stuff is a negotiation process I believe.

Opened '79 Topps Baseball cello boxes recently sold on ebay for $900-$1000. An unopened '79 Topps Baseball cello box from BBCE would probably command a premium pushing it up to $1,200. There's currently an opened '79 Topps Baseball cello box on ebay asking $1,499.99.

So, at $1,200 a box times 15 boxes you get $18,000. Add the premium for being a sealed case from BBCE and you're definitely over $20k.

Added a photo of the actual cello case you'll be receiving.

Is the cello case outside the box the same one you just purchased back in August (before the National)or the one supposedly in the sealed box from BBCE purchased in 2011?

If I paid a premium because the product came from BBCE I would want to get it from BBCE, not secondhand.

I agree with brick

Sure. I think that makes sense. I contacted Steve and he said it would be no problem. If someone comes up with an offer that I accept, they can submit payment to Steve which he will hold. I'll then send the case for him to verify, once he does he'll transfer the funds to me and send the case to the buyer.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Then why did you bust open the "BBCE sealed" case only to send back to BBCE to be "resealed".
