Awesome. Wish I knew how to read back then.

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...

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?

Those ladies would be pissed if they knew that all their hard work ended up in the bay!!! :^)

Very cool pictures.

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.....

Cool that first picture was taken right by my house

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

Well thank you Buzz Killington. :lol:

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

Some Sport and non Sport hiding in the pics.
