Another in a myriad of beautiful unopened wax pack and unopened wax box offerings being offered to the hobby from our consignor and recently inspected by Baseball Card Exchange (BBCE) where it was inspected and certified as containing (48) unopened packs is this nifty old wax box from 1977-78, with O-Pee-Chee upping its pack price to 15 cents that season, ending the seven-year 10-cent-a-pack era. However, kids/collectors discovered 12 cards per pack, up from eight the previous year, along with a glossy insert and of course, a stick of gum. The wrappers featured a Ken Dryden-like rendition, while the 396-card set’s roster is led by Orr, Dryden, Lafleur and Trottier, with a couple of Mikes, Palmateer and Milbury, tops among the over four dozen rookie cards. With a Capitals vs. Sabres-like depiction on the top, the offered box exhibits some corner/edge wear and creasing, notably in the area of a dinged corner (top left corner when viewing the bottom), up from BBCE’s identifying label and certification number/sticker. Light scuffing to the box top is also to mention, as is an original price sticker on a side panel that has a stamped “510” (5 dollars, 10 cents) just below “MEAT” – ha! You’ll also be grinning when this groovy piece is delivered.
