I don't consider '83 Topps "junk wax", it's not 1992 Leaf or Topps. 600 odd cards is very low considering the amount of 1989 Upper Deck Griffey Jr's graded in a PSA 10 - 3,903.

I think it’s right on the edge of it. 7-8 years ago, I’d buy ‘83 packs from BBCE for $3-4 bucks. But I just grabbed a wax box last week and it was a grand. So if it was junk wax, IT AIN’T NO MORE.

I don't think my raw Gwynns and Griffey's in penny sleeves and top loaders will become PSA 10's but I'm going to have to check the boxes in my closets which sat there for 23+ years just to make sure....
