1971 Topps Baseball (Series 1) 500-Count Vending Box - From the Fritsch Vault! The potential offered by this presentation is truly remarkable. Uncirculated cards from the 1971 Topps Baseball series are highly coveted, especially given the extreme condition sensitivity of this release. Those black borders that frame the photos on the front are amazing, but, those same beautiful borders highlight even the slightest imperfection. This 1st Series vending box presents a rare opportunity, as it marks only the second time Heritage has had the privilege to offer a Series 1 box. While the exterior displays Topps' standard red, white, and blue vending graphics, the true excitement lies within, sealed cards that could fulfill the dreams of collectors chasing high-grade 1971s.

The winning bidder could find one or even multiple examples of the following Hall of Famers and Rookies in Mint to Gem Mint condition: #1 Champions/Orioles, Thurman Munson, Dave Concepcion (Rookie), Reggie Jackson, Bert Blyleven (Rookie), Catfish Hunter, Willie McCovey, Steve Carlton, Phil Niekro, Lou Piniella, one and more of the dozen League Leader cards, Luis Tiant, Pete Rose, Ted Simmons (Rookie), and Bill Mazeroski. This box is straight from The Fritsch Vault which only adds value and allure to this offering. The box presents with mild to moderate wear throughout. Authenticated and sealed by Steve Hart-Baseball Card Exchange with a label from The Fritsch Vault.
