You have to admire the creativity that went into vintage non-sport display boxes. They’re attractive, colorful works of art; the comparison is more fitting since vintage boxes are also scarce and fragile!
These were part of a lot of 14 different that were auctioned off together in the spring of 2008. Today, auction houses would almost certainly list each of these boxes individually.
This grouping, offered by Mastro, included: 1964 Topps Beatles/Color Photos, 1965 Philadelphia Gum James Bond/Movies, 1965 Philadelphia Gum James Bond/Thunderball, 1965 Topps Man from U.N.C.L.E., 1966 Donruss Marvel Super Heroes, 1966 Topps Batman/Real Photos, 1966 Topps Superman, 1966 Donruss Monkees/2nd Series, 1967 Donruss Monkees/3rd Series, 1967 Donruss Monkees/2nd Series Canadian-issue Blue Box, 1968 Becker Laugh-In Rings, 1968 Philadelphia Gum Dark Shadows/Pink, and 1970 Donruss Odder Odd Rods.
The boxes were generally described as VG/EX to EX/MT in presentation quality.
