Your post is a little vague, so I'm not quite sure what you're asking. I think the story went a little something like this.

Some time last summer, several of the CU board members went in together to purchase several 1979 Topps wax trays (could have been a wax tray case, I don't remember).

One member purchased 50 (or so) wax trays and then opened the packaging on each one, but didn't open the individual packs. He then placed the packs into empty 1979 Topps wax boxes (about 3 or 4, I can't remember) and sent the boxes to Steve Hart at BBCE to authenticate and wrap.

Steve authenticated the boxes. I don't think most people had a problem with this - they were legitimate sealed '79 wax packs in legitimate '79 wax boxes. However, on the label, Steve wrote 'From a Sealed Case" which they definitely were not.

The wax trays could have been from a sealed case, but the fabricated wax boxes were definitely not from a sealed case. I think this is where everybody took issue.

From what I remember though, that member sent the boxes back to Steve and he corrected the label. Again, I'm not sure what information you're after, but I hope this helps.
