A box like that should be left intact!

Geez I can’t help it. I think it’s about having fun. And what’s more fun then opening packs? If I had the money, I would open and film the whole thing. Dissect it all and share in the fun with the community. I am not sure the fun in living a whole life and never opening the box. However, if I had two boxes, I would keep one closed and one I would open. Sorry if this upsets some, but I guess we approach things differently.

New one just posted.   Seems like a great deal based on last sale.   https://www.ebay.com/itm/195505648083?hash=item2d850b71d3:g:QVgAAOSwA7hjjsan&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoEnQFygZ1Y5ISqW6lJB6gXmUKaPzC8JX%2F5EZ3U3LZAGd%2FMF3DF2jtwyFnpTgINLn6kfBUVt3VxsmvEXLOUc%2BgeQxNBQbvYEUcpsSp%2FgmIO7NtvvMTbEK5cjDKQWiiC5gGMd6TjvHaYbFfl5cA39vxraZSy%2FT6aAqEtrYO2lbyoImvVVOH79hVBvxwM03%2BLVt2eI7D06URJLdgtqJlU6Ps7M%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6KVjYOdYQ
Thanks for sharing.

BTW (to everyone): when sharing an ebay link, you only need the part up to, but not including, the "?". So, this works just fine in the above case: https://www.ebay.com/itm/195505648083

'course, you could also just use the ebay button and include the item number, like so: eBay auction: #195505648083

Everyone is entitled to what they like to do with what they collect. But, think of it from the history perspective, which many of us here do. To such folks, opening a box like that one is destroying a piece of history. There are many ways to view it.

Now it can be told! My 85-fold pack was the 31st pack from this box! It took years of cajoling and pleading for him to sell me one. Fortunately, the box was never full, so I was finally able to get him to part with one over a decade ago.

Needless to say, these packs are legitimate and absolutely beautiful.

Also interesting how none of the packs show the four rare titles. Makes you wonder if those were either opened or held by whoever had the box when it was full….

It's so easy for a seller to tamper with these packs! They are so old and fragile, the adhesive seal probably dissolved and opens easily. It probably depends on the seller as well. I would never trust a new seller or someone unreliable.

I had the exact same thought when I looked over this auction.  Seems likely that they packs were opened because you can see the sticker through the back.  Since you bought a pack from this box I am guessing that for sure it is neither a ludlow box or a tan back box.
Still looking for Series 17

Not following you Bill. First of all, the packs have not been opened, they are 100% legit and original. The sticker usually shows through the back for 1st and 2nd series packs, though not always. It never does for series 3-13.

Of course it is likely a normal white back box. Is that a negative? If I had $30 K to blow I would absolutely buy this as it is a reasonable price and top quality.

. Sorry, I meant that they probably opened up the packs that had band ache, mutts, etc in them since none of them are included in this lot

Oh I see. That is certainly a possibility, especially since it was 20+ years ago when unopened was not as popular as it is now.

So for years hardly any boxes and unopened series 1 packs are available and now suddenly you can hardly go a month without another one mainly thanks to the guy who popped in here bragging about the stash he had.  Rumor now is that he had at least a case of these boxes as he originally said 5 but now 6 have been sold and more keep popping up in auction houses and the auction sellers supposedly are not part of the folks who bought the 6 boxes.  I guess for the first time ever, series 1 pack prices might show a decline.  if these packs were pieced out, would each pack fetch $1000?  I doubt it as after the few left who would spend huge money just to get a pack are out, the 11th pack and onward would probably see falling value.

Just for the record, this current auction surfaced because Greg Schwartz bought one of the other full boxes, so he is selling this partial one he’s had for more than a decade.

Yes.

I remember when Eric Roberts won this partial box on ebay in 2002. I don’t remember how much it went for, but it was more than I could spend at the time. Even then I thought the packs were pristine.

why would Eric have ever parted with this box?  Greg must have had something Eric really wanted.

I guess someone snagged the box off ebay, I was going to make him an offer but then got lazy.

Not me, but I was tempted!
