Should SGC, GAI, or PSA consider grading wax pack wrappers?

    CARLOS - that seems more of a tie-in w/ wax packs, so I'll say GAI...jay

    I agree with Jay...GAI is a natural..

    I'll be sure to sell all my wrappers to some lucky collector right away...

    I actually like to collect wrappers - I can't keep an unopened pack for too long and I always save the wrapper image. I have never given any thought to having them graded, though. If anyone has any that they'd like to get rid of, I'd be interested. I have always thought about creating some sort of display to showcase some of these.

    Carlos, you're out of control.
    What's next ? Grading the gum ?

    How do we grade it ? Taste ? Chewability ? Depth of pinkness ?

    Wolf,

    A few years ago I put a lot of (5) 1984 Donruss wrappers on eBay. They sold for $10.00 plus S&H. Last year I sold a 1972 Topps Football wrapper (series 1) for $7.00...The pack costed me $20.00. I don't think there is a hugh market for graded wrappers but you never know.

    Carlos

    PS. Everytime I open a wax pack, I use EXTREME caution, you never know if someone is willing to buy them.

    To anyone that is listening...

    I broke a box of 1976/77 Topps Basketball about 3 month ago and saved all the wrappers.


    I'll offer (1) wrapper, free of charge, to each of the first 24 Registry members that request it.



    No gimmics, no hassle, no requirements other than 1 per member.


    Just a thank you from the KING for taking the time to join and participate in the PSA Registry.


    Email me your address and I'll send them out.



    Best


    Larry.

    I was approached several months ago by a rep from one of the firms about grading wrappers for them since I had a large wrapper collection and resale business in them for many years. I declined for about 100 good reasons.
    It is obviously being considered but I do not consider it really needed nor particularly practical.
    How many wrappers could be submitted in a week for grading? Probably enough to be a pain in the tush, but not enough for a grader to go through the trouble of doing it. It could be a great way to spend a few hours a week to make an extra $50 a month.
    I don't think it will fly, how many people have seen all those wrappers in all the sports as well as non-sport, well enough to be an "wrapper expert"?

    FUZZ - Very few! But YOU would make that cut. I still use your wrapper & pack book as a reference tool. You've forgotten more then most people know in this field..jay
