Always looking for OPC "tape intact" baseball wax boxes, and 1984 OPC baseball PSA 10's for my set. Please PM or email me if you have any available.

Yes sir. I could only imagine how pristine these trays are. The trays out of the last case were amazing. Things like this give me hope that there's still things out there that are left to be found.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
However, the loose 79 wax trays that BBCE has on its website look clean. Personally, I cant justify paying much of a premium for sealed wax trays coming from a sealed case. Wax boxes and wax packs that's a different story, but the individual trays are pretty much in a nice guaranteed unopened state by themselves.
Id be in for some trays at a discounted price ($140 or so wrapped), but not at a current price. But they way unopened cases have been selling, BBCE may not have to discount this to move it.
What did the last case sell for that was essentially "unopened"
If you are a tray colector, it doesn't get any better than straight from the case.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
<< <i>The trays from the last case were much nicer than average loose tray, which typically has a split or tear in cellophane on at leastthe one or more corners of tray. The photos on site are stock photos in most cases.

+1. The pics on the website aren't necessarily what you get. You'll often get one that has a crack in the cello or price tag still affixed. These, you would definitely know what your getting and they would be pristine.

I agree completely. If the case is stored and handled properly, the trays should be as good as the day they were put in the case.

What am I missing about these really high prices for this year? Bob Horner, Willie Wilson, Ozzie Smith rookie year...

<< <i>I couldn't imagine what could be in that case worthy of such a price. Seems like you'd have to hit multiple Ozzie & Ryan PSA 10s...

It's a very popular set with huge condition/centering issues. There's tons of 10s in that set that would command over $1K. One 10 of Ozzie and Ryan would cover the cost of the whole case. Although your odds of pulling them are slim to none.
Check out the scans. These are nice!

Here's what's hard to explain to "card only" collectors.
I have one of these '79 trays that I picked up from Tim a
couple of years ago. It's still sealed up the way I got it
from him, and it will stay that way as long as I own it.
I don't know, and don't care, what cards are inside, or
how they would grade. It's the tray, and the fact that
it's as it was when it left the Topps factory that's
important, not the cards inside.
I know there are many card collectors who completely
don't understand this at all, but there are a lot of us out
there who just want a pack (or a tray) in its original
unopened condition.
If I where to know that every card inside every pack
that I own was an off center common, it would make
no difference to how much I value it. The fact is, I just
don't care what's inside the pack as long as it was put
there by Topps in the factory.
That's the best I can explain it, and I know there are
still people scratching their heads out there.

Strictly speaking you're right, even though pack collecting
is about as closely connected to card collecting as you're
likely to get.
"It may also be the card collecting aspect you don't get with this"

I certainly do "get" the card collecting aspect of it.
There are lots of people who buy packs just to rip, and
that's fine. I'm just saying that there are also pack
collectors who conserve the packs as they are.
I'm both a card collector (I just finished putting
together a set of 1961 Topps baseball), and a pack
collector.
It is possible to do both.
