I would sell it as a pack.

Someone said that they could get wax off via panthose, right? I think another person said by freezing it?

I've used dress socks!

Works like a charm.

Of course, be very careful of corners. Might be tough with rough-cut OPCs.

Well half way through and i can't believe this box i should get lots of 9's for my set the stars are a little offcenter but ive pulled some blazer commons. half way through pulled 3 nice oc ryans 1 murray 3 roses and a murray still on the back of a pack. i'm tempted to to keep the other half of the box sealed . how much more could i pull.

Pantyhose works on the fronts. But on the back, since there is no gloss it typically does not work as there is a stain once the wax is rubbed off. So I've heard

pandrews

i dont know about the 78's but i was able to get a *small* amount of wax off the back of a 76 OPC Eckersley.. it went from a 8ST to a 8..

80sJunkie

You can get wax off the back of a card using a little bit of bestine and some heat (like putting the back of the card close to a light bulb). Did this with a bunch of cards from the 60's, worked beautifully.

80sJunkie

Thanks zef well the results are in the panty hose worked i did about three commons and with a little patientce it seems it works. i used my loop on them and dont see no evidence of wax but the first one i did showed evidence of surface scratches under a loop. so i tried her micro fiber panty hose (which she do'nt know yet) and on the second 2 attempts no wax no surface scrathces . Thats why i love these forums i learned something new today
thanks guys. Now i'll open the other pack and grab out that 2nd murray and see if we can get the wax off and grade that sucker

80sJunkie

Oh and i decided to open the other half of the box in the morning hope i get more good stuff

packCollector

based on the centering of your other cards , I would keep the murray as a pack and you should do better that way if the card is oc , if it's centered , it is probably a zero sum game

mikeschmidt

Would pay nicely for a 1978 OPC Schmidt PSA 10 if you happen to be so lucky...

Glad you are happy with your results so far!

I almost spit my coffee onto my keyboard..lol....

80sJunkie

well i started rippin the 2nd half this morning you got to check out this brock the corners are razor sharp and it doesnt even have a rough edge. if this one dont get a 10 the grader has to be blind. First time i've seen a 78 opc without some sort of rough edge

What would the Murray Grade

Nice Brock. It does appear to be diamond cut slightly that might be enough to knock it out of a 10

ArnyVee

"No, really honey, I need the pantyhose for my baseball cards!"

80sJunkie

well all the stars came out oc but found quite a few commons like the brock that look a little diamond cup but have 4 sharp edges so well see how they grade

That's a great looking Brock.

And some of the Rose cards look pretty nice too.

Good luck

80sJunkie

I'd be interested in starting a raw set. I already have around 30 or 40.
Let me know what you'd be looking for in return.
I'll be out of town quite a bit the next two weeks, but we can work something out.

Thanks
