this is in the same auction.  Box clearly has some damage.  Why on earth is this common box over $300 already?  Why does Steve Hart wrapping a box have any value?  I find wrapped boxes to be a nuisance as who on earth wants a full box that you can't admire the packs?

guessing you're referring to the Reprint 1 box on HA and not the softball schedule.



yeah, crushed corner, contents hidden.  I think some people just like placing bids and being 'highest'
Is $1200 really the estimate on this? I haven't looked at prices in years, but that seems very inflated

I have to fully agree with you there - just to savor the smell of the bubble gum in the unwrapped packs is a bonus.  However, if you're worried about resale value and authenticity, then unwrapping would destroy both of those.

It doesn't seem that it was that long ago that you could buy 36 unopened packs from 1979 for about $100 and a box for $25 or so.  Doesn't the estimated value get figured into the price for wrapping?  If that's the case, then of course it benefits the wrapper to claim it's worth more.

Your link goes to a sports schedule, at least for me.  What is the box?
