Collection of eleven unopened cello packs from the 1962 Topps "Civil War News" nonsport series plus original trade-cards box. This popular issue features multicolored artwork of a battle scene or historical event related to the Civil War. The extraordinary artwork and accurate historical information presented on these cards have always distinguished them as one of Topps' most ambitious projects. Each cello pack contains a total of twelve cards plus either one or two pieces of "Civil War currency." This collection of packs is in exceptional condition, with all the packs maintaining their tightly wrapped seal. The box itself is a little rough but still displays nicely. While no guarantees can be made with respect to the grading of unopened material, there is the very real possibility that within these packs are numerous apparent MINT examples that would be ideal candidates for professional grading. This is an outstanding and very substantial collection of original unopened cello packs from this popular 1960s nonsport issue. Total: 11 packs plus box.
