December 4, 2014: Sports & Americana Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/4/2014
Venture back in time almost 35 years and behold an unopened case of 1980 Topps Football Vending, the unique opportunity to pick up 12,000 cards in the fresh-from-the-printing-press condition that makes serious collectors get the vapors and sets the grading companies to work in wholesale. Offered here is a sealed factory case of 24 of the coveted 500-count vending boxes that were once a staple of the organized hobby, boxes that were used to put together Nr-Mt to Mint complete sets. Within this stunning lot are pristine examples of all of the key cards from the issue, a lineup that includes the likes of Walter Payton, Tony Dorsett, Steve Largent, Terry Bradshaw, Dan Fouts, Franco Harris, John Riggins and the Phil Simms rookie card, to name a few. While the vagaries of factory production preclude ironclad guarantees of broad condition range in a factory-sealed case, the prospect of Gem Mint cards of virtually every player in the set looms large. The case features the original factory seals intact with typical outer-box wear.
