Topps Legendary Vault
From early 1950's on up, Topps has been gathering their rare, unique,
1-of-1 items.
In 1989 they chose Guernsey's Auction House to start unloading
their special rare collectibles. This was such a huge event that
even the auction catalog is a collectible. The auction took place
August 19th and 20th in New York City.
