1964 A and BC The Beatles 24 count 6D (pence) First Series cello card box with 8 packs. The cards are the British version of the same set issued in Canada and the US. The first series contained (60) cards of the Beatles in a variety of solo and group poses. The (8) packs included with the box are partially opened but unsearched with some packs also showing some tears. Packs opened because of age and storage with these packs being shuffled around inside of a near-empty box for over 50 years. The box displays well but appears to have some minor re-coloring to some red areas. The insides have been reinforced with tape which cannot be seen from the outside. All four corners have been strengthened with staples. Box shows some wear with a moderate amount of creasing on the box back and inside flap. A rarely seen box.
