We’d be honored to add you to our customer wish list.We ask what we consider to be a fair price for anything we sell and understand that our idea of a fair price may be someone else's 'that's too much' price. If that's the case, feel free to make us an offer and will consider it. We also have sales regularly, so check back often.There is always a Sale by TheBay!Now onto the item for sale.For sale is a full vending box of 1980 Topps baseball cards.As you can see, this vending box isn't taped shut with clear tape from the factory. None of our vending boxes from 1980 to 1984 are taped from the factory, but our 1985 Topps vending boxes are, so obviously Topps started taping boxes shut in 1985.Take a look at PSA's website and the price guide for 1980 Topps baseball cards graded a 10. They are worth quite a bit more than I thought they would be to be honest and I may need to send quite a few of my singles from 1980 off to PSA myself to get graded. The potential value of this vending box is certainly in the 5 digits. A PSA 10 Rickey Henderson alone is valued at $125,000 in their online price guide.Obviously, there are only 500 of the 726 cards in the 1980 Topps baseball set in this box, but you will definitely get quite a few of the cards worth sending to a professional grading service.I've been collecting primarily baseball cards since I bought my first pack in 1978 at 5 years old when I was still living in California. I've purchased dozens of collections over the decades and have amassed quite a large, extensive and very cool collection of baseball cards, memorabilia and autographs. The only difference now is that I've been able to do so with my 22 year old son since he was about 5 years old as well.As you can see in the pictures above, I got several cases of vending boxes in a large collection before my son was born. I got cases for 1980 through 1985 Topps and 1981 through 1985 Fleer and all of them were still glued shut. I rented a covered Uhaul trailer and drove down to Orlando, Florida in my SUV to pay for and pick up the collection. The gentleman had everything well stored in closets and on shelves in a couple bedrooms. I've had these boxes stored in my hallway closet ever since.PLEASE NOTE: We are selling one more box of these, listed separately, and we're also selling two boxes from each year. If you're looking for other vending boxes, we're always happy to combine shipping if you're looking for any others. Since my son and I are looking at buying another excellent collection loaded with the cards I love from 1975 back to the 1930s or so, I figured we may as well sell some of our collection from the 1980s. We come across 1980s stuff much more often than we do the 1950s and back and I am certain that we'll see these again too.Given that these cards have been well kept in a climate controlled environment for the last 44 years, we trust they are in as mint condition as one can find and this box should have plenty of cards that would be worth sending off to PSA or another grading service. Personally, we only use PSA for grading since their 9s and 10s are worth quite a bit more than the same grades from other grading services.If you're looking for a great opportunity to improve the condition of cards in your set, to help complete a set, to improve your collection, or to get cards to send to a professional grading service, this is a perfect opportunity.This box will weigh a little under 3 pounds when packed for shipping.PLEASE NOTE: We will need to take this box of cards to the UPS Store up the road that we use quite often to ship items that have insurance that exceed the $1000 limit on eBay. As a result, we will not get out normal shipping discount that we typically receive through eBay, so we will definitely lose money on shipping, particularly after we add insurance for $1399.99.Thanks for looking and God bless!
