Here’s one for the ages: an absolutely pristine 500-count vending box from 1964 Topps Baseball, an extraordinary artifact made even better with its Series Six and Seven pedigree, the final two series in a popular and important mid-1960’s classic set. With bona fides from legendary collector and dealer Larry Fritsch Cards, the stunning vending box comes sealed and blessed from the Baseball Card Exchange. Always one of the genuinely difficult final series in the era, the Sixth Series has also claimed a considerable premium with advanced collectors. Now at Age 60, the set continues to intrigue hobbyists with its exceptionally clean presentation, blazing white backs and an enhanced photography that was visible with even casual inspection. All of that would be enough to make bidders eager to get going, but you mix in a roster of Series Six and Seven stalwarts and it’s game over. Start with legendary Hall of Famers Roberto (Topps called him “Bob” to his eternal chagrin) Clemente, Bob Gibson, Gil Hodges, Luis Aparicio, Jim Kaat, Bill Mazeroski and the Phil Niekro Rookie card; mix in a giddy array of extraordinarily significant cards of the likes of Bob Uecker, Jim Bouton, Jim Piersall and the Ken Hubbs In Memoriam card, plus Team cards of the Dodgers and Red Sox, and you've got the makings of an All-Star team all by itself, with a reality TV show tossed in for good measure.
