Topps Wax Pack Run and Wrapper Run

[frankhardy]

I thought I would share a minor area of focus on my collection. Even though there are much more elaborate pack and wrapper collections out there, I think this is kind of neat.

As I work my way down completing Topps sets, which is currently from 1969 to 2013 Topps (base and traded), I am adding to those sets an unopened wax pack from every series and traded down to 1975, which is my birth year. Also, I am adding a wax wrapper from 1991 (last year of wax paper) on down as I complete my Topps sets. I have a 1969 on the way, so it is not pictured below.

I started this a few years ago and have enjoyed watching the collection grow. The 1975 pack is GAI authenticated. 1976 through 1991 were bought from BBCE, so they are authentic and unopened. Every series, along with traded/update series are included in the pack run.

The first picture is the wax wrapper collection. Many even have gum behind the wrapper! The following pictures are the pack run.
