Description

1967 Topps Who Am I? Wax Box With 24 Unopened Packs. Offered is a 1967 Topps Who Am I? wax box with 24 unopened wax packs. Eating vegetables at dinner and educational trading cards are two topics that have proven to annoy children, but in 1967, Topps cleverly tackled the problem of "educational" trading cards with their wildly imaginative Who Am I? series. Blending fun and learning, each card challenged kids to guess the identity of a historical or cultural figure using a series of factual hints. What made the series especially engaging was the whimsical scratch-off disguise—cartoon beards, sunglasses, hats—that concealed the answer, turning every card into an interactive mystery. If the clues stumped young collectors, a simple scratch revealed the famous face beneath. With subjects ranging from George Washington to Babe Ruth, the Who Am I? set delivered genuine educational value in a format that felt more like a game than a lesson. Today, it stands as one of Topps' most innovative non-sport sets and a high-value favorite among vintage collectors.

Guide Value or Estimate: $25,000 - up.

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
