The impact of the Beatles in the early 1960s spanned the globe and sparked the creation of this bubble-gum card set issued in 1964 by Topps. This was one of several Topps card issues devoted to this popular band. Each card features a color image of the band members. Presented is a rare full 500-count vending box, graded EX-MT+ 6.5 by GAI. That is the grade for the storage box only, of course. The cards inside have literally never been touched and are naturally in essentially perfect condition. While it is impossible to provide guarantees with reference to grading of vending material, there is, of course, the very real possibility that within this box are a generous supply of Mint 9s and Gem Mint 10s. The outer box has a couple tears on the side panels reinforced with tape. Reserve $200. Estimate $500+. SOLD FOR $1,880
