Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

I have a bunch of loose packs hanging around and I am looking for empty boxes to put them in. Currently I need:

1989 Topps Baseball

1989 Bowman Baseball

1990 Topps Football Cello - this is the one with $1.49 price that holds 24 packs and has three cards on the top picture - Bobby Humphrey, Joe Montana and Art Monk

Would like to trade but would also buy.

I suggest going to your LCS and purchase some.

I believe he is looking for the original manufacturer boxes that these packs would have been found in when released, not plain cardboard boxes.

Yes that is correct thanks!

I would still contact your LCS. The sets you mentioned aren't worth anything and the local shop just may have an open box they are selling from; may be able to pick them up.

Unfortunately I don't have an LCS within 100 miles. The baseball boxes I can everntually pick up on eBay but the 1990 Topps Football box just isn't available. I could buy a full box on Ebay for $40-50 but I already have a ton of packs so I just want an empty box.

I made a trade once before for an empty box so I thought it was worth a try to see if anybody had one laying around. 

I don't really expect to find one here but it can't hurt to try.

Maybe this is a ridiculous idea, but how about cold calling (or emailing) card shops to see if anyone had one they could ship you? You'd have to pay for shipping most likely and who knows what a box alone would cost, but maybe someone is running out of $1 packs somewhere and they figure they can just send a box along. 

Thats not a bad idea. I may try that.

I have a card show coming up in a few weeks and I might be able to ask somebody selling junk wax there too.

The 1989 Topps has cards on the bottom of the box. Go to the "Wax Box Bottom Panels" listing and contact the members who have panels on their For Sale/Trade list. One of them might have the intact box.
