From the same source that consigned a number of vintage vending boxes we sold a couple years back. He had bought these by the case but was selling them by the box long before getting boxes wrapped was a thing so most of his cases were opened and unable to be certified by BBCE. That being said we sold a range of vending for him. They had good "zebra" patterns and there were no complaints. Here's a link to one of those past boxes 1977 Vending

This has about the most perfect pattern we've ever seen. The box is clean and we have no reason to suspect any foul play however you are buying this, and all unwrapped vending "as is" The idea of pulling one of the 4 HOF rookies from this set from vending is very cool!
