Pack Collectors... Any out there?

I'm wondering if there are any collectors out there that collect unopened wax packs, with all the variations of the packs as well.
The reason I ask is that I found an old shoe box of mine with some unopened packs from the late 80s early 90s. On their own, not worth a heck of a lot but I found, for example:
I have a pack of 1990 Topps that is a regular wax pack and then another that is more like a cello Score pack (with crimped ends).
Are these maybe rare, limited issue?
I know back in 83 they had something similar as Michigan test packs. Do these types of packs command a premium?

    YES!! I do indeed collect unopened packs! I have nearly every major unopened 1980s wax/rack/cello pack, believe it or not. Say, you got any 1993 or 1994 Topps rack/jumbo/jumbo rack packs?

    No, sorry, I stopped hoarding them in 91 when I went to college.

    But I do have some that might be unusual...

    1989 Bowman cello (crimped ends)
    1989 Bowman Rack
    1990 Topps Rack Pack
    1990 Donruss Rack Pack
    1989 Donruss Cello (39 cards)
    1989 Topps (shiney cello wax pack)
    1990 Topps (shiney wax, crimped ends)
    1988 Score Rack (long end to end)
    1989 Score Rack (long end to end)

    I only mention these because (at the time I bought them) I thought they were unusual and didn't see them very often.
