1970 Topps Baseball Wax Box (5th, 6th, & 7th Series) with 24
Unopened Packs. This is a very pleasing offering as unopened
1970 Topps baseball wax boxes can be quite scarce. Our special
offering has also been identified as a later series box which will
contain cards from the 5th, 6th and 7th (and final) series of the
then massive 720 card promotion. Kids would have had to open a lot
of packs, often fast and furious, as you closed in on the 717, 718,
719 and final card to complete your set. Ah, the good old days when
baseball cards came ten at a time for just 10 cents.Our offered box is a beautiful, full box with all twenty-four packs housed inside!
