Let's See Your Display Boxes

Very cool. Always wanted to get into these, but they are so damn expensive anymore. I can’t even afford most of the wrappers I want, LOL.

I'm a bargain hunter, and one of the things I look for are boxes missing tops, and tops missing boxes. You can often pick them up cheap. It's much easier to find the bottoms than the tops. If I can find both, I display them together, like the 1958 Topps box above. It was way cheaper than finding a complete box. Right now, I'm searching for tops of 1956 Topps and 1964 Topps boxes.

By the way, has anyone ever noticed that Clay Dalrymple is batting on the 1963 box and catching on the 1964 box?

Thanks. I have no doubt I could do some work and find some on the cheap, but unfortunately these things just don't fit into my collecting budget right now given my other priorities. Maybe one day! Very cool stuff everyone.

Most of my boxes are from the 80s. This full box of candy bars is my favorite.

Chris---what year is the Football Plaks box ?

John--I don't collect boxes but know that the 68 baseball Plaks box is a very rare item. I have an unopened 69 Plak pack, the 2 checklists and for a long time felt I had the full set until the Mays ( which is on the checkilist but had not been seen) showed up, I think in a Mile High auction. Think Larry S has it. Have not seen another. There are two versions of the Mantle, big and small nose ( mine is small).

Although they exist on the 2 checklist cards, as far as I know Gary Peters, Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron and Don Drysdale do not exist in Plak form. Anyone know differently ?

Very impressive guys! I like all the displays
