steve kThose unopened wax packs certainly are highly interesting. There was a GAI 7.5 1952 Topps unopened wax pack that ended just last week on ebay that a part of me said "BID." It sold for almost 6k. It would be tough not to open it - but after some quick analysis - what are the odds of getting a premium card? Probably very slim. And those commons could possibly only grade out to a PSA 6 or 7 - probably no PSA 8 or 9's in that pack. If that pack was ever dropped and the corners dinged - well you know what that does to the grade. Valuewise, I feel it would be far better to buy five PSA 8 cards than an unopened vintage wax pack - unless of course you hear that 1952 Topps Mantle "calling" you from inside the pack.
