Focus on Transport Boxes

I have a couple cartons for cards Mike but pretty sure they are 70’s. Think one is frogman card box. I’ll post pics when I get a chance.

I always got mine from shops never thought of how they got them, this is very interesting and never got any uniforms or bits in the post, it made me think about a new hobby, trying to find them.

An interesting focus Mike. I have a couple of outer boxes but for later items - Pursuit Craft and a shop display of badges

Indeed it is. I still need to take a photo of the pursuit craft box - had it for years but never got round to it

Whilst on the topic, Im missing the ‘RADAR’ badge to complete my set if anyone had one to sell. I only recently picked up the box which is still in amazing condition surprisingly. I think a few of those somehow recently surfaced. There is a seller on ebay that has a tonne of badges. Interestingly each box didnt come with full assortments but instead only 4 different badges to choose from.

That’s not true. Mine is unused shop stock and has a full range, also came with a giveaway hat

Sean a couple of badges on jackets, in charity shops I wonder if they where am, is there a way of telling if they are.

that is interesting. I had quite the conversation with seller and his box was also full and unused. But it only had 4 versions of the badges. Not sure about hat. He didnt mention that.
The hat is awesome too. I did find it odd that they would do that. Perhaps it was a last run thing trying to sell whats left I guess. I presumed they must of all been like that.
Funny thing is Ive been collecting these badges for over 20 years and I’d never seen a box pop up but Ive already seen 3 for sale this year.
So is there an even amount of each badge in your box or is it random numbers?
At a guess I would say the box I recently purchased ‘was’ an unused full box too thats has been stripped of its contents to sell individually in recent times as its pretty much mint and surely doesnt look like it has spent any time on a counter with kids fingers rummaging through it.

A good question, I’d assumed the same era as the kid size mess tin and uniform etc
