BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! 1986 Topps Major League Baseball Wax Box 36 Packs
This is a 1986 Topps Major League Baseball wax box, manufactured by Topps. The box originally retailed for 35 cents per pack and contains 36 individual wax packs. Each pack consists of 15 picture cards and one stick of bubble gum. The wrappers feature the Spring Fever Baseball sweepstakes promotion for a trip to 1987 Spring Training. The display box features prominent imagery of Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds on the lid and Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets on the side panel. The bottom of the box includes four Exclusive Cards designed to be cut out, featuring Wade Boggs, Jorge Bell, Vince Coleman, and George Brett. The 1986 Topps set is notable for featuring stars such as Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripken Jr., and Pete Rose, along with rookie cards for players like Cecil Fielder and Lenny Dykstra.
Condition report:
The outer display box is unsealed and has been opened. The 36 individual wax packs contained within appear to be in their original factory-sealed condition with no signs of tampering. The display box shows visible signs of shelf wear and age, including softening and dings at the corners. There are creases and small tears along the edges and fold lines of the lid. The surface shows minor scuffing and scratches, particularly on the bottom panel featuring the cut-out cards. The cardboard exhibits light toning consistent with vintage paper products from the mid-1980s.
