Another in a myriad of beautiful unopened wax box offerings being offered to the hobby from our consignor, a Topps baseball unopened wax box from 1984 is up for grabs here, with Hall of Famer Don Mattingly’s rookie card headlining Topps’ 792-card initial effort that year. Darryl Strawberry is also notable among the sparse RC roster, with the plentiful Hall of Fame lineup led by Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripken Jr, Ryne Sandberg, Wade Boggs, George Brett, Eddie Murray, Pete Rose, Ozzie, Rickey and more, including the three who are featured on the display box; Steve Carlton, Reggie Jackson and Jim Rice. Packs cost 30 cents back in the day, with three dozen 15-card packs per wax box. This one and its contents, examined and certified by BBCE, remains in beautiful condition with very little surface wear and only minor micro creases being observed over the top lid has seen its fold up display avoid perforation. For the rest of the box, very light surface wear, colour loss and creasing is exhibited over the four sides and bottom while just light wear is present to the corners and edges as well. A true beauty that has survived all this time, the relic has been sealed with BBCE shrink wrap, with the firm’s identifying label and tamper-proof hologram affixed to the underside. Awaiting it’s new home, the box offers our lucky winning bidder numerous possibilities.
