Complete original unopened cello case of 1978 Topps Football. We can't imagine that many similar surviving complete unopened cases of 1978 Topps Football survive, perfectly preserved from 40 years ago, before the explosion of interest in unopened baseball cards boxes and cases, let alone football. The case houses 15 boxes with twenty-four packs per box for a total of 360 packs. With each pack containing 18 cards, the case represents a total of 6,480 cards. The 1978 Topps Football set includes singles of Terry Bradshaw, Walter Payton and Roger Staubach, along with rookie cards of Tony Dorsett and John Stallworth. While it is impossible to provide guarantees with reference to grading of unopened material, there is, of course, the very real possibility that within this case are Gem Mint cards of every player in the set, including these rookies. Original factory seals intact with typical outer box wear.
