Any guesses as to what a reasonable price for that would be? I have no clue.

Yeah, I can't find the story right now, but some guy had like 30+ cases stored away.Jaypers said:

i wish i'd have seen that auction in the 2nd or 3rd post. Not for me mind you.
There is a lot of upside to buying the case listed for a reasonable price then breaking it up and grading packs.

I think it would either be boom or bust....no middle ground. Anyone feel like busting a few cases of Razor Preside.....oh, nevermind.

As a 1975 Topps set collector, I have seen many cases of the minis pop up over the last 5 years. However, I have yet to see a case of the regular Topps version. BBC Exchange has a box of regular for $3250, but you could probably have it for $3k. With 16 boxes per case, I think you can see that a case of the regular version will sell for $25-30k easy.
One of these days, I will bust a box of either 1975 Topps, 1975 Topps minis, or 1975 O-Pee-Chee. Although I don't collect the minis or the OPC now, I can't think of a better way of starting than busting a box and slabbing the gradeworthy cards.

Oh, and in case you were thinking about making an offer:
An offer of $23,000 comes to just under $40 per pack. He currently has it listed at about $50 per pack.

The cost of acquiring the case vs breaking it up and selling either graded boxes (sealed) or packs (sealed) is going to be an "easy" profit. Opening the packs, probably not so much.
The razor deal, come on, there were people just as interested as I was. It was a gamble. What I'm talking about is an actual investment and not a gamble.
I look at all of the **** I broke over a couple years and should have been opening old wax and grading my ass off. Now I see the forest for the trees.

I know it was a joke. A lot of others do not. People act like I made people put their money up on that deal. Hell I lost as much if not more than the others. If we'd have gotten them at cost and my aunt had balls, we'd have been close to break even.

Seems like boxes sell $750/avg and there are 16 boxes per case so that would mean a case should run around $12K if you boxed it out. However, the huge Robert Edward auction had each case selling for $9K+.
If I had the cash I would buy it and sit on it for at least another 34 years. Pretty impressive.

Coming from a sealed case w/ provenance, I'd add 25% to your number.

Mini wax boxes from sealed cases sell for $1000 per box. A single loose box will get about $800.

There has been a regular trickle of 1975 minis for the last two decades or so. When I was a kid (in the 80's), the minis sold at a premium over the regular issue, but no longer. These cases are not rare, and likely won't be for the foreseeable future. In fact, the guys on the PSA message boards bought and busted an entire case last year sometime. http://forums.collectors.com/messageview.cfm?catid=11&threadid=721256

Rare as compared to what? How many do you know of that are SEALED? Good for the guys on PSA, I'm not sure that something is rare or is not rare because some guys opened it. I am not sure that anyone said anything about overwhelming rarity. Rare in a sealed form, sure.

Andrew should buy this for his next case break.
