Wax boxes

[Econteachert205]

This is a pretty old experience but one that led me not to buy from bbce again. In the late 1990s I bought 2 1978 topps football wax boxes. No Dorsett, no stall worth, no staubach, no Payton in either.

I purchased a '75 wax tray from BBCE and it had definitely been tampered with. No evidence on the outside packaging, but the cards were VG/EX to EX, some with creases.

With all the recent bogus cellos that has passed by them, I agree with Jared - I don' t understand the high accolade they receive.

Thanks for understanding & support guys...yeah, getting burned is lame as hell. Its all about integrity and where do you find it? Still striving for that in a seller. I'm sure many collectors are happy with BBCE as they get prize cards, etc. But, consider the fact that IF anyone over there (or selling the box to the eBay seller or the eBay seller himself) is tampering...some are better than others. How many boxes could you have gotten 3 or 4 of those prize cards? If someone picks out a few big cards from each box, they'd probably slip under the radar and make a fortune....

Steve is a top notch dealer. You should try calling him and discussing the matter. As we are ALL human errors can be made. Enjoy the hobby.

Taxman, if you scroll up you'll see he's already talked to Steve. We all make errors, it's how we fix them that counts. Hopefully Steve will back up his authentication.
You can always try and buy from Fritsch. Little incentive there to tamper with stuff, but from what I've heard also not easy getting them to actually follow thru on a sale.
