CRANSTON, R.I. — “To break the box or not?!? That’s for the lucky bidder to decide,” mused Bruneau & Company Auctioneers operations manager Ashle Landry. She was referring to the Texas collector who won a sealed 1999 Wizards of the Coast Pokemon Base Unlimited booster box. It received the winning bid of $16,875, including premium, at the firm’s comic, sports, TCG and toy auction on August 8. With green-wing Charizard box art and single country code on bottom, the box was factory sealed with tight and intact cellophane wrap. A great fresh-to-the-market Pokemon booster box from the original purchaser, it was the top lot in the 478-lot sale that offered a mix of comics, sports, toys and associated collectibles from collections across New England. A further review will discuss additional highlights.
