Condition report:
The display boxes show notable signs of age and shelf wear consistent with retail use, including corner dings, edge tears, creasing, and surface abrasions. All three boxes contain original, unopened wax packs; however, the total pack count per box is undetermined and they are not full sets of 36. The internal bubble gum is assumed to be brittle or expired due to age and is not intended for consumption.
