Complete original unopened cello case of 1975 Topps football. This incredibly rare unopened case is the only 1975 Topps football case we have ever offered or seen. We can't imagine that many similar surviving complete unopened cases of 1975 Topps football survive, perfectly preserved from thirty-four years ago, before the explosion of interest in unopened baseball cards boxes and cases, let alone football. The case houses fifteen boxes with twenty-four packs per box for a total of 360 packs. With each pack containing eighteen cards, the case represents a total of 6,480 cards. The 1975 Topps football set includes rookie cards of Lynn Swann, Dan Fouts, Joe Theisman, and Mel Blount. While it is impossible to provide guarantees with reference to grading of unopened material, there is, of course, the very real possibility that within this case are Gem Mint cards of every player in the set, including these rookies. Original factory seals intact with typical outer box wear. Reserve $5,000. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $16,450
