Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

EDIT- I went to ebay thinking I could get one for $40ish to cut the page to frame, wow, I was a little off on the price...

Why would we have interest in Valley Forge beer ad? :lol:

Dang, I remember my best friend's father drinking lots of Valley Forge beer back in the day.

Ever see that well known photo of a drug store's huge display of boxes and boxes of 52 Topps open and for sale, packs hanging everywhere! I saw it on ebay once.

The lady sitting in front of column J8 needs to get back to work. How am I ever going to build a set if she's just sitting there smiling for the camera?

Sorry- Not trying to hijack this thread.

FWIW- The Topps plant is packing 1974 Topps wax and cello.

I had another cool pic of some 50's packs on the candy shelf but cannot locate them at this moment.

T.S. O'Connell estimated 231 boxes. Todays value $46,200,000 !!!!!!!

With color.....

You guys are assuming those boxes are 6th series, which contained the Mantle.

Correct. They are believed to be 1st series. I assume based on the display sheets.

Some Sport and non Sport hiding in the pics.
