I bought a box of Wheaties the other day. A tennis star Coco Gauff is the athlete featured on the box.
This got me engaging in the the internal process that passes for thinking in my inner life:
- Was O.J. Simpson ever the featured athlete. on the Wheaties box?
- If so, given Mr Simpson’s subsequent notoriety, what would an O. J. Simpson Wheaties box be worth as a collectible?
- How would I find out?
Looking on eBay, an OJ box is worth about $90. Almost anticlimactic.
If they made one, what would an Oswald Box be worth? Or a Jack Ruby?
