Anybody collect vintage wax packs?

I'm new to the boards here, but a long time collector of non sport packs and cards. I am interested in hearing from other wax pack collectors! What is the gem of your collection? I wish PSA would add a graded pack to each set to entice collectors to grade. It would also allow others to see what is in your collection and who has the best pack of a certain series. I have managed to get a few GAI 10's (Green Hornet, Green Hornet Stickers, Planet of the Apes 1975, Star Wars Series 2, to name a few). What are your high grades? Thanks to all.

  • I haven't been buying graded packs so much as getting raw wax slabbed that I acquired before the advent of pack grading. I'll post some pics in a bit. The reason I have them slabbed is really only for protection as the grades aren't important to me , particularly for harder to find stuff. I'm quite interested in dispaly boxes as well, not as many collectors of those around it seems.
  • My graded packs include a 1964 Beatles Color pack graded 9.5. A close second on my list of favorites is my "Scoop" pack from 1954 graded 8.5. I have a few 1959 Topps Football Cello packs that I plan to get graded. A full unopened box of 59 Topps Cello packs sold for over $42,000.00 at auction a year or so ago. As for Baseball I have a a few 1975 Topps Minni's that are really sharp and should grade well. I'm still looking for some vintage hockey packs from the mid to late 60's.
