Default If you could open a box...

Posted By: Michael Steele

1967 Topps would be my choice! I actually lived this dream as a 7 year old in 67 as my Dad purchased an entire wax box of 67 Topps for my Birthday. He paid a whole $1.20 for the box and it was a gift I will remember forever. Kind of wish I had stashed the box away. Growing up in Boston, I remember being upset that I opened the entire box and found only one Red Sox in the box (Darrell Brandon, so it was 2nd series box with Mantle). I am sure there were plenty of Superstars in the box but I justed wanted Red Sox cards. Combine the fact that the Sox had the Impossible dream season in 67 and a card collector and Red Sox fan for life were hatched.

Great question!
