(LOT 636)
1952 Topps Baseball 5 Cent Wax Pack PSA 8 NM-MT

THE HOLY GRAIL OF UNOPENED WAX PACKS!!!... Isn't this a dilemma that virtually any hobbyist would be delighted to face? Here's a beautiful, NM-MT condition survivor, an unopened 1952 Topps Baseball 5ยข Wax Pack, which just happens to be the highest of its kind on the PSA registry. This is a true 1 of 1, THE ONLY PSA 8, with none graded higher. Just viewing it inspires notions of the pristine, never-touched cards inside. Perhaps such coveted pieces as #'s 1 Pafko, 191 Berra, 261 Mays, 311 Mantle, 312 Robinson, 314 Campanella or 407 Mathews are among them.

No one knows, of course, but just the idea of opening this 58-year-old time capsule is enough to inspire a flight of ecstatic imaginings. Nicely preserved, the decorative wrapper has none of the usual flaws that plague most of its counterparts. Its corners are tight, as is the seal, and the package presents just as it did on the candy counter more than half a century ago. The winning bidder can make the decision to open the package or just enjoy the sight of it. Either way, the offered Pack is full of sheer excitement.

MIN BID $10,000
