Nice Loving that OS1 box even if its empty, just out of interest why do some boxes (not yours) have those damn black lines across the front The black lines mean they were sent to a close-out warehouse and sold for pennies on the dollar or something to that effect. From Waynes Garbage pail kids reference- Frequently asked question section: The black lines on the boxes indicate that they did not sell and were returned to the manufacturer. When the boxes were returned, they were usually resold for a lot less than originally priced. There is nothing wrong with the contents of the black-lined boxes. -TCT

Pardon the somewhat grainy quality of the pic as I snapped this example a while ago with the camera phone. I am at a loss of words... this card is so amazing yet so fragile, hence the reason it is housed in a 1/2" thick acrylic case. It's displayed proudly on the wall in my room. Cheers to y'all fellas! It's been a while since I've been back due to a diversion of the funds towards other hobbies, cars, etc.

wow, just stumbled upon this thread. You've got a nice set of mint boxes there! Mine aren't as mint, but my OS1 is. I try to get them all as mint as possible. I've recollected them twice now, but they still aren't minty mint. The OS14 box is a b!tch to find mint.

Sweet Bukimi, Cali...Do you have Cheap Toys? (Oh! It looks like you do...Awesome box!!) Peace, Dr. Galaxy Pardon the somewhat grainy quality of the pic as I snapped this example a while ago with the camera phone.

Thanks for the props guys =) GPK all day 'til the day I die, AIYEEEEEE!!!!!!
Unfortunately this forum format doesn't allow for multiple quoting so I'll try my best to answer your questions:
Graphics Admin - yeah, the series 14 box is definitely hard to find mint but I think one of mine (I have 2) does qualify as being mint. I tell ya, it's not easy searching for Grade A-1 boxes. More oftentimes than not, sellers overestimate the condition of the items they are selling for obvious reasons. So the key is to request for multiple photos and lay down the line in regards to your highest utmost standards.
Tornshaun - I'll try and get some shots of the inside pages of the price guide. No scans as that places undue stress on the binding, ultimately causing creasing =)
Sniglet - yeah I definitely agree with you on that one. I have to give it up to this one lady whom I purchased most of my mint boxes from. She took great care to ensure that they arrived in the same condition. It's all in the packaging mayn! Like I had aforementioned, you as the buyer need to let the seller know your simple demands and all will be well. It's nothin'!
Vero - lol, you wouldn't waste a Bukimi Kun like that now would you? I'll let you in on a lil' secret. That 1/2" acrylic case isn't meant for thin cards like Bukimi Kuns. I could not find a card case designed for thin cards so what I did was to cut a few card-sized pieces of mylar and place them fore and aft of the card to act as spacers. Done deal baby!

Another Update, like what it is!This poster is beyond rare. As you guys can see, this poster was more of a prototype hence the relatively poor ink/printing quality. Regardless, it is a piece of GPK history and an authentic Topps item. I paid a pretty penny for this sheet of paper but it's been an item that I've always wanted (lost the bidding war on this poster a couple years back) not to mention it brings my original poster collection closer to completion.

Thanks Cory =) Still need a mint OS1 box but I can't justify spending that much on GPK at the moment, not to mention finding the right example is close to nil.
