Lot 1626: 1973 Topps Baseball Wax Box (All Series)

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $800.00
Winning Bid: $6,893.73
Price Realized: $8,238.01
Auction Date:12/4/2003 9:00 PM EST

A long-standing debate exists about keeping unopened material in its unopened state, or to unleash what’s inside once and for all. One look at this complete box of unopened 1973 Topps baseball cards and you will understand why! 24 unopened wax packs represent all series in the 1973 set. The only question is whether to keep ‘em closed, or uncover what’s inside (maybe gem mint Mike Schmidt rookies!). It may be a little easier to keep 'em closed as all 24 packs are graded by GAI: "9 Mint (1), "8.5 NM-MT+ (12), "8 NM-MT (10). One pack was not graded because the seal was loose. Display box is EX-MT. This is one of the toughest wax boxes out there as all series are possible. An offering in such exceptional condition is a true diamond in the rough.
