Hmm I learned if I type a response and close the tab without hitting post comment it appears to still post. Or at least it saves the comment and still there when I return to the forum. Maybe it's not visible to anyone else. Odd. Still learning the tricks of this new format. Anyways..
Wow everyone. Very impressive. Love the eye candy. Nothing wants to make me open the wallet more than a thread like this. Dabbled in unopened about 10 years ago (all since sold/opened). Miss the days of cheaper wax. Don't we all.
There's a lot of 2 FB wax trays on the bay. 1 has what appears to be the '79 BB wrapper. Legit?

It doesn't post, but does save as a draft. When you have saved drafts, there's a link to them near the upper right somewhere around 'Activity' or 'My Discussions'.

This thread is incredible. Reminds me of the days of when I found this forum and unopened was the rage. Guess it still is given the incredible price appreciation across the board.
I am working on getting my unopened into one location, which is a dream of mine. Right now spread out in several places. Love the variety in these collections. So awesome.

Geez Louise! If you ever break that 77 wax tray case, you know my number, John!
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.
Various racks and packs with Mattingly showing
Some random things. There is a Rickey Henderson showing on the back of one of the 88 Score packs. Those are hard to see.
82T and 85T. Brett AS on the back of the 82T.
Just for fun!
That '77 Wax Tray case is awesome. Only sealed tray case I've ever seen. Only other wax tray case I've seen was a '78 Superman one (about 10+ years back). It was opened but complete. I bought from a member on a board iirc. During a time of not correctly managing my money, had to sell it. Think I sold it for around $200.
The "Juice" is not on the loose!! He is "locked up" inside this BBCE wrapped 1970 Topps Football 1st Series Vending Box.
In addition to OJ, other Rookies in this series include Jan Stenerud, Alan Page, Lem Barney, Elvin Bethea and Bubba Smith. Also a bunch of Hall of Famers, including Bart Starr, Bob Griese, Ray Nitschke, Gale Sayers, Fran Tarkenton, Bob Lilly, Len Dawson, and Fred Biletnikoff.
Why Heritage? They charge sales tax most states to buy.
All auction houses do, now, at least all the major ones.

@tulsaboy - that's cool that your eye went to that 82 case. It's the only one I have seen personally. I bought it a number of years ago direct from Steve Hart / BBCE. It's a heavy sucka!! It would be fun as heck to open and look for HOFer racks including Ripken Rookies!!
Amazing collection Chris! You have been salting away the good stuff for years and are selling at an all-time market high. Well played. Looking forward to some record pricing on those 1970s boxes and 1960s packs. Will be fun to watch the frenzy. Thanks for sharing pics before they shipped out.
Amazing!
One question. What will the 1975 regular size wax box bring?
Any guesses?

Back in the early 90s, I was buying "bulk" stuff.
I always envisioned myself when I retired ripping this stuff and putting together the "perfect" set.
When I realized what this stuff looks like, that dream flew out the window.
The top grocery rack was from a board rip - can't remember which year?
On the vending side - I picked up many years from 1979 to 1987.
