This 24-pack wax box is one of the more difficult unopened issues for Topps basketball from the 1970s. While 1970 and 1971 Topps are undoubtedly the toughest unopened issues of the era, the 1973/74 wax box remains highly sought after. Many collectors seek to obtain this box to complete the run from 1972/73 onward, making it an essential piece for serious basketball card enthusiasts. The 1973/74 Topps set is popular among collectors for its classic design and strong checklist of stars, including Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Julius Erving. It also features Hall of Fame rookie cards of Bob McAdoo and Paul Westphal, adding to its appeal.
