Show us your vintage wax packs!!!
Do you guys open them or keep them closed?
I am thinking of starting a tradition this year at Christmas by buying a nice vintage sealed pack and then opening it on that specific day...then sending any nice hits to have them graded. I know I know Christmas is FAR away!!! Post # 5 |
I actually bought some un-opened packs.
Bought some 86-87 Fleer basketball & some 79 Hockey (those with possible Jordan RC and Gretsky RC)...sent them in to grade and came back as tampered....so i opened them up. 2nd time..i think i bought like a 5cent (1 card) unopened wax....waited and eventually opened it. Still got wrapper/card 3rd time... i bought a whole un-opened case of Topps Basketball --81-82...well opened all the packs..sent in the 3 larry birds to SGC for grade and went well. 4th time... i bought a grade 9.5 wax pack 1984 football http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/...TBALL004-3.jpg 5th time.. i bought a rack pack 86 football.. got 3 Jerry Rice Rc and a Elway. 6th time..i got suckered into a 53 xmas baseball rack pack..still were nice cards and sent for grading and got good results. Sometimes i put them on ebay. |

Early 1950's unopened box of matches

Question for Al on the "Weirdo Baseball " What year were those cards produced ? I have about a half dozen cards but have no idea were or how I got them . From the package it was a Fleer product but no date or year . Any help , thanks Brett
|
Fleer Weirdo
Brett---to the best of my knowledge 1966. If you check fleersticker.blogspot.com you can find great info on all the many Fleer baseball products of the 60s and 70s...and there were many

Jmoran19:
What is the blue cardboard box "called". It was the first pack of cards I ever bought. Do we call it a "Cello"? What year? 1972? |

Here's some of mine- the oldest ('33 Sport Kings) is dead in the middle and it goes around chronologically from there.

1971 Greatest Moments
I have seen a box, but never a pack or wrapper. I have a set. No gum stains, but have read where others say they have cards with such stains...but have never seen one or a scan of one
|
I don't have a nice display like Anthony, and I realize that I'm falling WAY behind in my scans, but here's some of the one's that I do have:

Wow, Bob! Great collection!
...and Anthony, you know that's just a plain sick collection. I never tire of seeing that. |
Bob, that's ridiculous. I think between the Bob, Anthony and Al we can just shut this thread down now.
