Also included are wax boxes, traded sets, and a huge array of factory boxed sets from the 1980’s. In short, a simply spectacular aggregation that represents a huge accumulation from the 1980’s and 1990’s, most in a condition that essentially matches the original, off-the-presses look from decades past. Please take the time to examine the vastness of this offering, broken down and organized as best we can by manufacturer. One large section of assorted cards includes literally hundreds of HOFers, stars, minor stars and specials, including several from football, basketball and hockey and these are noted.
