Large attractive collection of empty basketball wax boxes each filled with (we assume) styrofoam and shrinkwrapped tightly for protection. While the shrinkwrap lends itself to an outstanding appearance it makes it difficult for us to accurately grade each box since we cannot determine whether edges are worn or seals are tight. However the boxes do generally present as EX condition though some are clearly worn and the perforations torn. Include are the following: 1970-71 - Two boxes one in G condition with several small tears but well-protected with an outstanding display. 1973-74 - One box apparent G condition with the price tab removed several creases and minor tears but an excellent overall appearance. 1974-75 - One box apparent VG condition with some surface wear broken at the perforations outstanding display. 1975-76 - Two boxes one in apparent G condition displays far better but price tab has been removed. Otherwise colorful and well-protected. Second box in apparent EX condition. 1976-77 - Two boxes (both in apparent VG/EX with some wear at the edges a few minor creases and torn open at the perforations). 1977-78 - One box apparent VG/EX condition perforations opened but otherwise intact 1980-81 - One box apparent VG condition buckled at the top edge with the perforations no longer intact but well-protected by the shrinkwrap. Ten boxes total representing seven different issues.
