I finally figured out the 'Limited Edition' only meant the manufacturer wasn't going to make them forever.

Just ordered today:
1988 Topps American Baseball Wax Box 42 packs, 5 cards each Picked up two wax boxes for just under $42 delivered. Also picked up another 1987 Topps Wax Box for my son (he wants to build a set) - $18.15 delivered. |

These packs all have gum in them, too. Not the pink US gum, but a smaller, softer, Irish gum. I'm still not trying it (it IS over 30 years old), but it at least looks edible.
The gum did stain one card per pack, though, with a few exceptions. So, 90 packs x 4 cards per pack is 360 cards. There are 88 cards in the set, so with perfect collation, we'd get 4 sets. I know we won't but we'll see what we do get. |

These are some decent looking cards. They're poorly centered left to right. I guess Topps wasn't looking to put it's best foot forward across the pond!
