📜 Topps Vault Provenance – Purchased Directly from Topps (15+ Years Ago)

The Topps Vault items in this collection were purchased directly from Topps over 15 years ago, during the early years of the Vault program — not recently acquired, not secondary-market sourced, and not modern reseller stock.

These items have been properly stored and preserved since original acquisition, adding a level of provenance, authenticity, and credibility that simply cannot be replicated today.
