Extraordinary, complete unopened wax box of 1969 Topps football containing twenty-four original unopened 10-cent wax packs This is a first-series (#1-132) box, which includes Joe Namath, Gale Sayers, and Johnny Unitas as well as numerous other stars and Hall of Famers. This is an extremely rare complete unopened box! This is the first complete wax box of 1969 Topps football we have offered in the past twenty years. Though it is impossible to provide guarantees with reference to grading of unopened material, there is the very real possibility that within this box are Gem Mint cards of these stars as well as many other top players of the day. The box comes shrink-wrapped by Baseball Card Exchange (owned by Steve Hart, the foremost expert on unopened material). The display box has survived in stunning condition with bright colors and light shelf wear. This extraordinary unopened wax box, which looks almost exactly as it did when it sat on a candy-store shelf in 1969, would be an extremely significant addition to even the most advanced football or unopened wax-box collection. Reserve $10,000.
