This breathtaking 1957/58 Topps Basketball Unopened 5-Cent Wax Pack has been expertly graded as a PSA 7. Only nine of these packs have ever been authenticated by PSA in any grade, with just two grading higher than this beautiful example. Decades ago, roughly a dozen of these packs were discovered, representing the only reported find of these packs in over 60 years—and likely the entire population of PSA-authenticated wax packs. Even wrappers from this issue are virtually nonexistent, underscoring the extremely limited production of Topps' first and last foray into basketball until 1969. The rookie class offered in this set is unparalleled, and although the contents are, of course, unknown, there is a real possibility of serious high-grade star power inside, including Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, and many more legends of the hardwood.

Due to the delicate nature of unopened packs and the possibility of the gum shifting during shipping, BBCE will hand-deliver this item to the winning bidder. Arrangements will be made to deliver the item to your location, meet at a card show, or any other suitable method where the pack can be hand-delivered to the winning bidder. This applies to delivery within the contigious United States.
