Good gobbily goo, do you realize how friggin rare finding an original box must be? It's like locating a cereal box from decades ago....nearly no one ever held onto any of them so today they're rarer than a politician's conscience.

In the world of Lionel train collectors, having an original box nearly doubles the value of the item itself....it's gotten to the point that new reproduction boxes have been made (along with the potential for monkey bizzness)
