Hey Shawn, Thanks. Do you know the issue date of the Sporting Life that ad is from?

That Hunt auction was from 1999.
https://www.huntauctions.com/online/...st_number=1100
It sounds like it's a pretty rare/scarce box from the Hunt catalog copy. "This is the first intact example that we've encountered and due to obvious fragility and age will most likely be the only copy we'll handle. Stunning: EX-MT "

When I stop and think about it, I don't recall any other baseball boxes that early. The condition is incredible for something that fragile. McCann's $2,500.00 price tag seems pretty reasonable based on the $1,675.00....I wonder who's collection it's sitting in today...a name comes to mind....
