Beautiful COMPLETE WAX BOX of 'Rock 'n Roll Jazz Toppers', produced in 1959 by Maple Leaf Chewing Gum, Amsterdam, Netherlands and distributed by Mardi Gras Distributing Corp of Montreal, Canada.  This original box contains a full complement of forty-eight 5-cent packs of color cards, containing the likes of such music legends as Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mathis, Pearl Bailey, Eartha Kitt  and many other greats.  The reverse of the card gives a short bio of the star on how they became famous, and can be found in blue, red or black print.  The entire box comes shrink-wrapped and guaranteed by The Baseball Card Exchange (owned by Steve Hart, the foremost expert on unopened material); the box itself appears to be in VG-EX condition with slight tape residue in spots.  A beautiful, seldom-seen non-sport collectible - in complete box form!
