Those are Steve's advertised prices, what he actually pays for stuff is a negotiation process I believe.

Opened '79 Topps Baseball cello boxes recently sold on ebay for $900-$1000. An unopened '79 Topps Baseball cello box from BBCE would probably command a premium pushing it up to $1,200. There's currently an opened '79 Topps Baseball cello box on ebay asking $1,499.99.

So, at $1,200 a box times 15 boxes you get $18,000. Add the premium for being a sealed case from BBCE and you're definitely over $20k.
