Unopened Packs and Boxes

Complete, original unopened wax box of 1970-1971 Topps hockey containing twenty-four unopened wax packs. This is the first unopened wax box from this series that we have offered in the past 20 years! This set contains the rookie cards of Hall of Famers Brad Park and Gilbert Perreault as well as many other stars, including Bobby Hull, Gordie Howe, and Bobby Orr. While it is impossible to provide guarantees with reference to grading of unopened material, there is the real possibility that within this box are high-grade cards. The display box has survived with bold colors and moderate shelf wear visible, including a bit of creasing and a small tear on the front panel. The box comes shrink-wrapped by Baseball Card Exchange (owned by Steve Hart, the foremost expert on unopened material). This is an extremely rare unopened wax box that would make a superb addition to any hockey or unopened wax-box collection. Reserve $10,000.
