On another note does anyone know what the bottom pack in these images is called. I have opened a lot of 15 count wax and cello packs but this is the first time that I have come across these.
Unlike the 15 count wax and cellos that have 8 cards facing one direction and 7 facing the opposite direction with the instant win game in between the two stacks these are packed with all 15
cards facing down from the front and the instant win game is on the bottom facing up.
I think from information that I found they might be grocery packs?

In 1989, 1990 and 1991 Topps marketed cello-wrapped packs which were identical in every way to wax packs just in cello wrapping. Because the packs took up extra space, boxes were slightly larger than regular wax boxes. I don't know where these were marketed.

I refer to these as wax pack variants, so as not to confused them with the standard cellos, large cellos and jumbos which would be issued in these years as well.

Thanks. I have done quite a bit of research since I asked about them. I think that they were mostly and possibly solely marketed on the west coast and Hawaii. I also think some of the variations can be broke down into East or West coast. I plan on posting about that and some other information when I get all of it in order.
