I’m curious about this one. It’s so OPC it’s growing mold on the edges.
I'm a fan of those with OPC but know some aren't.

I wish Steve would characterize the state of the packs in opened boxes. My biggest complaint with BBCE isn't the authentication errors, it's that you can't inspect the packs themselves to see if they have been destroyed or not.

Steve won't wrap a box if the packs are damaged or trashed.

This has not been my experience, but I'm glad you haven't had issues with BBCE regarding this.

I'm very surprised...Steve will even note the label if packs have price stickers on them. The vast majority of BBCE boxes I've seen unwrapped are akin to the 78 OPC box you broke here with clean packs within.

That Classic Auctions case is not marked FASC, which is strange since they have the boxes staged around the case. I imagine the original owner cracked to take a peak at some point.

Are these wax boxes FASC? I do not see that designation on the BBCE labels. I also didn't see if the packs had price stickers on them.
No, the 1978 OPC box broke here was not FASC but was "Tape Intact," which is very similar to FASC for OPC wax in that the packs are intact and original to the box.

This is what I’m looking for with OPC. Even rough cut with 55-45 centering and popping color. Best OPC Murray I’ve held.
Nice pull on the Eddie Murray RC!
I’m going to send this one off to PSA unmarked to see what it yields. I think I just saw an express special announced today.
What is meant by "unmarked"
Ruining a card by having a player scribble his name on it.
An Autograph?
Better be a 9 or the torches and pitchforks board members gonna go ballistic.
Always in the market for game used kinesiology tape and smelly socks.
I could see 8 happening, but I think it's a nice 9.

The wire cutter OD'd on coffee that day.

Great Murray. I regret selling my 9.
Thanks,

I was poking fun at bgr because I know he collects autos on vintage cards.
More power to him of course, but I do die a little inside when I see it.
Classic Auctions in Canada has a 1978 OPC case that’s about to close. Current high bid is a little under $36K (USD). https://www.classicauctions.net/1978_O_Pee_Chee_Baseball_Full_Case_of_24_Wax_Boxes-LOT178657.aspx

If you happen to visit the Exchange...
Early morning Tuesdays are Best...
Later during the week or even later in afternoon seem kinda busy...

Some I believe are marked tape intact.
