Included in the auction with all of those amazing vintage hockey wax packs in 2004 was this 1954/55 Topps display box!

I've been looking for a Minor League Baseball Card reference for a long time, wondering why there weren't any. Finally, I ran across an ad for one in a June 1993 issue of Sports Cards Magazine! I found one on eBay and am super impressed with Larson's Minor League card history intro; more about this on the blog in the future!

And let’s not forget 1965 Topps, with its “beautiful” green colored wax packs.

And how about a 1958/59 Parkhurst pack?!?!

It's a set that I've considered collecting, started, and stopped multiple times. What is 1941 Goudey baseball?

I’ve never been a big collector of this sort of memorabilia unless it advertised sports cards, too, but this one is so historically significant that I felt it was worth highlighting.

Here's another of the rare vintage hockey packs from the '04 auction: 1954 Topps!

This morning's hobby history research takes us back to an August 2004 auction in which five incredibly scarce hockey wax packs were sold; here's one of them from 1957.

How many complete 1973 Topps Test Comics complete sets do you think exist in the hobby? My guess is under a dozen.

These nine were part of a complete set of 24 that Mastro Sports Auctions offered for sale in December 2004.

Here are a few historical set/near-set sales:

- Heritage Auctions sold a complete PSA-graded set for $20,315 in May 2008.

- REA sold a complete raw set for $17,625 in the Spring of 2010.

- REA sold a PSA Set Registry collection of 23/24 comics twice: first for $7,800 in the Summer of 2019 and again for $13,200 in the Fall of 2023.

-REA sold a raw set of 23/24 comics for $9,600 in the Summer of 2022, which is perhaps the set this collector on the net54 boards had graded.
