Historical Hockey and Sports Memorabilia Auction June 2023
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/27/2023
A lovely duo of unopened wax pack survivors is up for grabs here in the form of this lot consisting of Topps Football wax packs from both their 1972 1st Series and 1979 sets that have earned marks of Gem Mint 9.5 and NM+ 7.5 after being inspected and certified by GAI. Also sporting “Authentic – Unopened” designations over each label, the sets carried full checklists of 351 (132 of which were released in the 1st series) and 528 cards respectively. the 1972 sets 1st series featured the notable rookie cards of Archie Manning and Jim Plunkett while the 1979 set is paced by the first-year cardboard of names like Earl Campbell, James Lofton and Ozzie Newsome. Displaying a magic magnet set send away offer and Bazooka bubble gum ads on their reverses respectively, each pack displays football scenes over the front of their colourful wrappers that depict either rushing or blitzing imagery. Remaining in beautiful condition with no obtrusive flaws to either of the included specimens, the packs house a total of ten (1972) and 12 (1979) cards respectively along with a stick of bubble gum. Surely featuring cards in the same grade range as what the packs themselves were given or better and surely worth more than the original .10 cent and .20 cent cost of the packs themselves, unopened pack aficionados will want to seriously consider this wondrous opportunity, with the GAI holders housing the tempting offerings showing some scratches and scuffs over both sides worth mentioning.
