Show us your vintage wax packs!!!

[Zone91]

Do you guys open them or keep them closed?

I am thinking of starting a tradition this year at Christmas by buying a nice vintage sealed pack and then opening it on that specific day...then sending any nice hits to have them graded.

I know I know Christmas is FAR away!!!

I actually bought some un-opened packs.
Bought some 86-87 Fleer basketball & some 79 Hockey
(those with possible Jordan RC and Gretsky RC)...sent them in to grade and came back as tampered....so i opened them up.

2nd time..i think i bought like a 5cent (1 card) unopened wax....waited and eventually opened it. Still got wrapper/card

3rd time... i bought a whole un-opened case of Topps Basketball --81-82...well opened all the packs..sent in the 3 larry birds to SGC for grade and went well.

4th time... i bought a grade 9.5 wax pack 1984 football


5th time.. i bought a rack pack 86 football.. got 3 Jerry Rice Rc and a Elway.

6th time..i got suckered into a 53 xmas baseball rack pack..still were nice cards and sent for grading and got good results. Sometimes i put them on ebay.

For a second there, I thought I was going to scroll to the bottom and see an unopened 1971 Topps Greatest Moments Pack. Good Gawd!

I have seen a box, but never a pack or wrapper. I have a set. No gum stains, but have read where others say they have cards with such stains...but have never seen one or a scan of one
