SGC and wax stains
 

How bad does SGC deduct for wax stains. I am thinking of getting my whole 59 Fleer Ted Williams set graded and I have wax stains on the back of 15 cards. They would average NrMint with out the wax stains.

I would likely say EX/MT unless the stain was more pronounced, then realistically EX.

You should be happy, wax stains are a "Great unique collectible" that can be sold for premiums:

This is what the wax stains look like on average. I am the second owner of this set since 1960. I think I will probably just keep the wax stained cards so it keeps that put together from wax packs vibe.:cool:

Thanks for the input.:)

Now I've seen everything. That's crazy.

I thought it was crazy when it showed up in my original search. Then when I saw it actually sold I couldn't believe it.

A recent Topps Heritage Baseball release contained cards which had artificial gum stains added on purpose. SMH

And they smelled like gum .
