Wax Pack Wrappers Question
I have watched a few wax pack openings on Youtube recently, and invariably when cracked from grading slabs the wrappers seem stiff and crunchy like plastic coated paper, and highly glossy. This is not how I remember them from my youth at all. I have 2 wrappers that I picked up a few months ago, a 1953 Bowman color and a 1961 Topps, and both look and feel how I remember them. Both are slightly glossy, somewhat soft, not stiff or crunchy at all, and have a waxy feel, thus the name, wax packs. What gives?
