Featuring a checklist of 242 total cards and chalked full of players that were suiting up for the two Canadian based Major League Baseball franchises in the form of the Toronto Blue Jays and Montreal Expos, the 1978 O-Pee-Chee baseball set, due to a later printing date than its Topps counterpart, had many of the cards feature an extra line on the front of the card when a player changed teams, with some players featured on a different team that what is seen in the Topps release found south of the border. Featuring a total of thirty-six (36) packs on the interior that each contain ten (10) cards as well as a stick of bubble gum, offered here is this unopened wax box from O-Pee-Chee's 1978 baseball release. Having been recently inspected and assessed by the evaluators at the Baseball Card Exchange (BBCE), the box displays generic baseball graphics over the entirety of its fold up display lid, which also displays the original per pack purchase price of .15 cents. Still sporting an intact piece of scotch tape over the front edge of the box, only adding to the appeal of the box itself, the BBCE's company label has been added to the bottom of the box and reads "1978 OPC Baseball Unopened Wax Box (Tape Intact)" along with the BBCE hologram as well. Completely sealed in a Baseball Card Exchange cellophane wrapper, the box remains in overall excellent condition despite some light surface wear being seen over the top display lid, back and bottom, while light corner wear is seen to the points over the top and bottom. With the left and right edges of the top lid folding over the edges of the box, don't miss out on this seldom seen treasure.
