March 30, 2023: Spring Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/30/2023
One of the cool Topps issues from the mid-1970s, the lot features a 36-count box of pristine unopened wax packs. Bubble gum may not handle the three decades-plus all that well, but the packs certainly did, and the box shows only minimal wear and has the "$2.70 Free Goods" wrap which was only on one box per case. With that lucky course of events, the winning bidder will have a crack at shiny new rookie cards of Bryan Trottier and Dennis Maruk, to say nothing of a spectacular card of a pretty fair non-rookie: Bobby Orr. The box has been authenticated and shrink-wrapped by Steve Hart of Baseball Card Exchange, who noted that this box originated from Larry Fritsch Cards and was pulled directly from a sealed case.
