Lot # 17: Extremely Rare 1971 Topps Fourth Series Unopened Wax Box (24 Packs) - BBCE

Complete, original unopened wax box of 1971 Topps baseball. The box houses 24 packs with each pack containing 10 cards for a total of 240 cards. This is a fourth-series box (#394-523), a series that is highlighted by Hall of Famers Hank Aaron, Bob Gibson, and Nolan Ryan, as well as numerous other stars and Hall of Famers. This is only the second unopened wax box from this series that we have offered in the past 22 years! This is a particularly significant year for an unopened wax box, as cards from 1971 Topps baseball are naturally very difficult to find in high grade due to their easily damaged black-border design. The box comes shrink-wrapped by Baseball Card Exchange (owned by Steve Hart, the foremost expert on unopened material). The display box is very attractive, with bold colors and only minor shelf wear visible. This is an exceptional unopened box, one of the rarest of all unopened issues, appearing almost exactly as it did on the store shelf 55 years ago!
