Any idea what Wheaties boxes with Ruth & Gehrig may go for?

Someone I know had put away some items he'd had, which were separate boxes of Wheaties in some Collectors Edition entitled "60 Years of Sports Heritage".

The box has been well-preserved in "like new" condition and the cereal is not crushed inside.

Here is a scan of one, as attached below. Thanks.

So in other words, not much? My friend says it's about 16 years old and well-preserved.

I would guess it's no older than 14 years old

Seriously, the boxes with players like Ruth, Gehrig, Clemente (currently), and Jackie Robinson were very well mass produced. And I'm sure a lot of people saved them like your friend, Matt. (I have in the past.)
