1978 Fleer Football

[Beatles Guy]

Well, finally met up with the gentleman regarding the '78 Fleer boxes. The bottom line is that he thought they were worth way more than what they really are. He was looking for thousands, not hundreds. He decided to put them away for another 20 years or so. Oh well, the beer was good at the bar

Thanks for the update Jason.

Unfortunately many people think just because something is old its worth than it really is. I don't believe 20 more years is going to make a whole lot of difference on these. I guess maybe he can have then buried with him or something.

$1000s per box or the lot? Because I don't think $125-150 per box is very unreasonable. (8*$125=$1000).

Anyway, thanks for the updates. I was hoping to pick one of these up (although not in the 1000s obviously )

He was looking more in the $200-$250 per box range.

Yeah, thats a little high, especially considering you'd need to be in the $250-300 range to make any money.

The EXACT kind of story I HATE to hear.

Somebody using our hobby as get rich quick scheme.

While there are 10 guys on this site that would LOVE to have those cards and love those cards and give them a good home, this guy that couldn't give 2 squirts less about them, is holding them hostage.

Well unopened has seen price increases skyrocket in the last 18 months or so. So I think he has delusions of granduer. I'm not sure Fleer Action Football will ever grow THAT much, but who knows? I'd love to build the set as opposed to just buying one. There is a set selling on ebay right now with the high bid+shipping around $32. I'll watch it to see where it closes at.

I'm willing to pay a premium to build as opposed to buy. But not in the $200-300 range. Unless I win Mega Millions someday. Then lookout collecting world!
