Vintage wax boxes...keep together

spazzy

With so many vintage packs being submitted to Gai and PSA, Does anyone else think that in the future that a legit vintage wax box of lets say anywhere from 1960-1975 will command a premium more than breaking up the packs to get graded? I believe that nothing beats a full crisp vintage wax box that hasnt been sent to the mill to get graded that isnt encapsulated. I do believe single packs are ok to grade. Any other folks like their boxes to be in their pristine state?

In theory, yes, but one of the key values [in my mind] of pack grading is that it essentially protects the pack from damage, etc. If I had a wax box from the 1960s sitting around, I might be fine with it not being holdered at all. But once I tried to move anything, to sell, to transport, etc. - that pack grading sounds like a great way to keep all the packs protected.

When will they start grading unopened boxes (pre shrink wrap era). Would this even be possible?
