Lot 571: 1971 Topps Baseball 1st Series Wax Pack GAI 8.5 NM-MT+
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
By far the most desirable wax year from the 70’s and for good reason-packs from 1971 were issued in much shorter supply due to production limitations (in all sports). This is one of the highest graded 1971 Topps packs available-it is rarely seen above “8”. This example exhibits a vivid and colorful wrapper, superb corners, and a tight seal. It is also the favorite year to collect from the 70’s due to the unique black borders of the cards which often chip when handled-hence the term preferred by collectors--‘black beauties’. 1st Series highlights include Thurman Munson, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Steve Carlton, Blyleven’s rookie, various leader cards, etc. 10 cards are included in this unopened relic. Graded an exceptional GAI 8.5 Nm-Mt+.
