I have been buying and selling (and referring to) Bazooka boxes since the early 90's and was unaware that you happened to own some currently

Got a pretty good deal on the 1968 complete set from an auction house about 6 months ago. You must not have seen the auction, or else you might have outbid me for it.

Turned around and listed them on eBay. Actually jumped the gun a little because I listed them before they actually got to me. Figured no one would try to snap them up that quick based on how much I was asking.

As luck would have it, a buyer immediately made me an offer on the Mantle complete box in PSA 4, for a price that was about 3x the amount I paid for the full set. Had to stall for a couple of days until the complete shipment from my winnings got to me before I could ship it out to the buyer.

I’m not the Bazooka master yet, but I definitely learned from the master. With more learning all the time!
