Looking for some junk wax form 1986 - 1993. Anyone know who is a big seller of has this type of inventory. (I know BBCE, but someone else would be appreciated).
Work hard and you will succeed!!

Try Dave & Adam's Card World. Not sure if they still have unopened from that era but they do actively buy unopened. Fritsch would be another obvious place.
Are you interested in 87 donruss baseball?
I have 18 boxes of fleer baseball wax plus 1 cello baseball box for sale.
Those are 1988 Fleer Baseball boxes purchased in 1988 from retail stores in South Bend, IN.
THAT is the kind of stuff I love! If only the shipping wasn't so much. I have cleaned out the 88 Fleer baseball in my area. If the price/shipping was cheap enough I would be interested. Picked up a ton at $5/box. Picked up a sealed case of 89 Donruss wax a couple weeks ago local for $6/box.
BTW, I'm in the central Illinois area.
How are you finding that stuff locally? I used to run ads in local papers for collections and unopened product. I found some good stuff and lots of junk. That was about 15 years ago in the Chicago area. I am now in New Jersey and was thinking about doing it again but I'm not sure if ads in the paper still work. Any advice out there?

There was a guy at a small, local card show I set up that is from a really small town some miles from here. He has nothing but junk year cards that he puts on lots by teams. He said that there was a guy in his town or a town nearby that had a grocery store and he bought out the cases he had...88 Fleer, 90 Donruss, 91 Topps and 92 Topps is all I remember. He started out selling them at $5/box and then he was selling them for $4/box to get out of them. I think he got into them at $2-3 a box. I finally couldn't say no and picked some up. I should have picked more of it up even before he lowered the price but it goes against my idea of downsizing, lol! Now I just rip, pull stars, rookies and errors and the rest get recycled.
If it wasn't for shipping I would be neck deep in junk wax cases. Unfortunately I live in an area where there just isn't any local stashes to be found.

Have you tried hitting up local old school coin shops? A lot of them got into cards during the 80's peak. I had a great run picking up 1984-1988 Baseball and Football from coin shops a few years ago.
