Presented is a very rare football cello box of 1959 Topps. Once the outstanding condition of the offered examples are factored in, the high bidder would be greatly rewarded if he chooses to open some of these gems. Presented is a full 1959 Topps cello display box with all (36) packs GAI graded. The breakdown is as follows (1) GAI 10 PERFECT with A. Karras on the reverse. (3) GAI 9.5 GEM MINT, (3) GAI 9 MINT one pack features Y.A. Tittle on the front. (4) GAI 8.5 NM-MT+, (6) GAI 8 NM-MT one with Redskins team card on front. (14) GAI 7.5 NM+ one featuring Y.A. Tittle on the back. (4) GAI 7 NM and lastly (1) GAI 6 EX-MT pack. The empty display box grades a very conservative EX-MT. It is un-perforated and has many strong corners and edges, in addition to having retained vibrant coloring. The only flaw is the front panel has a small tear and slightly bulges out. The break up value of this lot is tremendous.
