Beyond the cards
The rarest pieces in the hobby are not printed at all. Topps has seeded redemptions for the original paintings into modern sets, at one in 962 packs in the 2026 Halloween box. Sketch cards are drawn one at a time, though more than one near-identical sketch can carry a 1/1 number, so judge the drawing, not the stamp. Signed cards from John Pound, Tom Bunk and the other early painters are prized by collectors.
Sealed 1985 wax boxes and packs are their own market, and a crowded one: reseals and repacks turn up often, so buy from sellers with a long record, and ask about the box's history.
