Rare display box that once housed 36 nickel packs of 1954 Topps baseball cards.  Featuring an illustration of Ted Williams on the box top, this box does show signs of wear, a strip of clear tape stretched across the top and front of the box a long time ago (and since sliced so the box could open).  Worn at the edges and corners, the colorful box still retains its original shape.

NOTE: An astute collector reached out to us and advised us of some additional information on this box.  This box was intended for Canadian distribution of Topps cards, based on the fact that the Canadian packs contained 4 cards per pack.  The boxes distributed in the US had six cards per pack.  Additionally, the piece of tape on the box was simply how Topps sealed these boxes.
