What could have been had for just a few bucks in 1972 is a little pricier today, but that could be said for a lot of things. Here's an unopened 1972-73 Topps basketball wax box, one of the very few that has survived intact. Collectors who once purchased or owned, or currently own, sealed boxes of 1986 Fleer basketball understand how an investment can blossom into a fortune, thanks to the emergence of Michael Jordan's rookie card as the quintessential issue of the past 50 years. The same goes for this box as "Dr. J" Julius Erving makes his debut, arguably the most electrifying hardcourter in NBA history prior to MJ. There are 24 packs inside, more than ample opportunity to land a fine example of "The Doctor" with other key Hall of Famers than include Chamberlain, Maravich, Robertson, West, Abdul-Jabbar, and many more. With so few of these left in circulation, it seems like a no-brainer to just put it away and watch it continue to grow in value. Authenticated and wrapped by BBCE.
