Rare, unsearched vending box of 1973 Topps football. This magnificent box, itself in bright EX to EX-MT condition, contains 500+ cards and was the first of ten consecutive years in which Topps would manufacture 528 cards in a single series. The keys to the set are Terry Bradshaw (#15), George Blanda (#25), Fran Tarkenton (#60), Dick Butkus (#300), Joe Namath (#400), Johnny Unitas (#455), Roger Staubach (#475) and Steve Spurrier (#481), as well as the rookie cards of Ken Anderson (#34), Art Shell (#77 – hard-to-find in top grade), Franco Harris (#89 – likewise hard-to-find in top grade), Jack Ham (#115), Dan Dierdorf (#322), Jack Youngblood (#343) and Ken Stabler (#487). While it is impossible to guarantee grades from unopened vending, it is entirely possible that this box includes MINT and GEM MINT examples of such stars. This vending box almost certainly looks just as it did when it left the Topps factory 46 years ago! A beautiful, untouched vending box, from Topps' popular 1973 football issue. Total: approx. 500 cards.
