These progressive proofs and print error Wade Boggs cards are off the side of O-PEE-CHEE wax boxes.

Awesome I love box cards.

Not sure what that term refers to. I have collected all the Topps box top card sets listed in SCD ( usually in panels cut from the boxes but sometimes singles as well. I do not collect boxes). But since you seem to indicate the thread should have been in pre 1980, not sure what you are referring to. I guess your scans will answer my question. Here is one difference between a box card and regular issue card

I always tried to cut off the cards from cereal boxes, card boxes and other items, even if they were not 100% complete. Not sure if that is what is meant, as I am thinking more about the boxes that actually had cords on them to cut out (Jello, Transogram, Kelloggs, as well as the later 80s Topps/Fleer/Donruss/Score box bottom and side panel cards. Here are a few of my favorite non-card clippings…thought i had the 80 Kellogg cereal box single as well, but must not have scanned it. Of course the Garvey hostess minis are not that hard to find given it was on many of the boxes and it seems many were saved.
