A lot of people remember the April 2004 Mastro auction for the incredible unopened material they sold from, I believe, OPC’s archives. Perhaps overlooked a bit were all the empty vintage Bowman and Topps football display boxes they sold a few years later in 2008.
It’s tough to put prices on items like these today in 2024, given the run-up in vintage unopened/display items, but here are a few sales:
- REA sold a 1952 Bowman Large Five-Cent Display Box for $5040 in December 2023
- REA sold a 1959 Topps One-Cent Display Box for $360 in August 2019
- Heritage sold a 1959 Topps Five-Cent Display Box for $227 in December 2012
- Heritage sold a 1950 Bowman Five-Cent Display Box for $690 in March 2021
- Collect Auctions sold a 1958 Topps Five-Cent Display Box for $202 in November 2020
- Memory Lane Inc. sold a 1957 Topps Fice-Cent Display Box for $736 in September 2017
