Boxes were available for sale exclusively at the Topps corporate booth at the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention and on the Topps web site. Each card measures 2 1/4" X 3 1/8" -- the same size as the 1975 Topps Minis.

The Topps web site sold out of boxes at 3:00PM EST on August 28, 2012 as the 341 remaining boxes were sold to a single buyer.
