There is an EMPTY case (that's right, an empty cardboard box) from 52 Topps being offered for a mere $50,000

There was a picture I saw a while ago, not sure if it was here, but it was a vendor sitting at his cart in 1914 with all unopened 1914 Cracker Jack boxes. I wish I would have saved the picture when I saw it. These pictures are amazing to see.

EDIT: Found it. Check out the pics on the bottom.

Takes me back as that Woolworth's fordam rd store was where i had bought cards from when i was a kid in the early 70's. I used to go from Woolworths then next door to Modells sportings goods store . That was when Modells actually sold sports equipment instead of mostly clothing lines.
