1969-72 Topps Baseball and Football Empty Display Box Collection (12)
The hottest era of the sportscard market is here in vintage unopened material, with new records being set every auction in regards to these scarce items. However, one item even scarcer is that of the empty display boxes. These boxes enticed young boys to the card counter where they protected the colorful waxy packs and the treasured cardboard relics. This collection of a dozen empty display boxes are colorful in their display, with multiple images of players and bubble gum advertisements. This collection has had one owner, the consignor for many of the "vending quality" cards of several lots and complete sets in this auction. He "ripped open" wax back in the day and played with his cards every week. Includes: <strong>TOPPS BASEBALL - 1969</strong>: Images of McLain, Gibson, Yaz, Mays, Rose and Frank Howard at the sides and top panel, which is open at the perforation. Has light creasing and a "dent" on bottom panel (not seen during display). Also has a number "6" written in ink top left on top. Very nice box with actual player images. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Grades VG/EX overall</span>. <strong>1970</strong>: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">FOUR different boxes</span> from four different series, although the tops are all the same, each front panel advertises a new and different insert!
