1971 Milk Duds - Unopened Boxes - Hank Aaron, Munson, and Harper (with pics)
Posted By: Shane Hardie
I am a regular on the PSA boards, but am new here. I just wanted to share these with you guys and get your opinions. I ran across these this week and was wondering the approximate value. I know that in the SCD catalog, the Aaron books for $40 and the Munson for $45. However, these are unopened and contain the original contents. The Harper has been opened, but still contain the original contents. The scans of the side panels are from the Aaron. Sorry about the fuzzy digital picture. Here the are. |

Those are definitely a cool find, but it'd be tough to sell the "unopened" aspect because there's really nothing preventing someone from taking one of the flattened boxes and popping a few Milk Duds inside. There's no seal or cellophane in other words, although I'm not sure candy would add any value to these. Candy could also be dangerous towards condition, as it tends to break down and leak what I assume is corn syrup. On the other hand Bubble Gum often solidifies, or petrifies, but can also leave a mark. |

Milk Duds boxes had wax paper bags/pouches inside. If so, it would be more than just pouring in new candy, unless they still make the same size boxes and you can drop a pouch in there. If not, then Jeff's right. |

I would imagine there's a distinct difference between new and 37 year old Milk Duds. |

LOL. PSA is actively looking for graders- perhaps you can get Henry on payroll. He certainly can't be any worse than some of them! |

In short, it's safe to say there aren't people filling up empty 1971 Milk Dud boxes with new Milk Duds to make a killing on the market-- in particular as pouring in new Milk Duds might lower the grade of the box and most of the value is in the box. To preserve the box and card, many collectors are going remove the candy anyway. Some will flatten the boxes in order to get them graded. To these potential buyers, whether or not the contents are original is neither here nor there. |

I ate a lot of milk duds from these boxes as an 8 year old kid in '71 and I don't remember the plastic bags inside. |

In a darkened movie theater during Raider of the Lost Ark, it's always possible to eat the wrapper. |

there never was plastic/wax bag that held the candy in milk duds boxes, just one big clump of choc.caramel candy |

I'll have to echo Todd's recall, I distinctly remember Milk Duds having a waxy bag inside the box in my early days. Bought a few @ PN Hirsch too! |

I recall the waxy pouch inside the box as well. I have a distinct memory of fishing around the bottom of the bag trying to find one last Dud. |

I had forgotten about this thread because no one was replying to it. I have an update. I listed the Aaron on Ebay last week. It ended last night and went for $180. |

I would assume that by this time the candies are well dried out and won't cause much damage. |

Just an update. I listed the Aaron one week and the Munson another week. I was pleased with the final bids. The Aaron sold for $180 and the Munson sold for $102. |
