Some random ones off eBay from non-dealers tended to be in various conditions, some even clearly resealed/previously searched. Overall though, most of the boxes yielded pack-fresh cards.

The biggest problem is what to do with all of the cards once you open the packs. I threw away several boxes of commons, donated a ton and still have a lot of HOFs/stars from the 80s and 90s just sitting here - straight from pack into top loader and I can't seem to get rid of them.
Jason,
I'm guessing you're around 35, as am I. This stuff, believe it or not, will come around. It's all cyclical. When our generation is 55 or 60, they will clamor for the those childhood moments you speak of. I predict 80's wax will make a big comeback. It will, however, be the last generation to do so.
