I have had this pack for a long time and I am thinking about sending it in. Just looking for some suggestions and advice. I have alot of nice stuff but have never sent anything in before to get graded. As I am sure you can already tell, its an unopened 1959 Fleer Ted Williams 5 cent wax pack. (6 cards)
I hope its worth more then 5 cents nowimage

    If authentic, that has a great shot a 9.

    Better be careful posting stuff like this on this board newbie. You will be accused of buying the wrapper and putting all of the cheap Ted cards in the pack when it comes back as tampered.

    Thanks for your response. At first I didn't like it, but after I thought about it for a minute what you said actually makes alot of sense. Today is actually the first time I have had it out of my parents safe in about 25 years. I am just getting back into the hobby, when I stopped collecting in the early 1990's, grading cards wasn't all that popular. I am very aware of what I have and what the stuff is worth, I guess I should put a little more effort into sounding like it. But thanks.

    looks a little loose--but these packs come like that. Not sure it would grade a 9...but at least a 7 and maybe an 8...if legit. PSA is your only option.

    Nice pack. At this time PSA may be the only option for pack grading unless GAI gets sorted out. When you have a pack of that vintage authentication is really all that matters, so I'd let Steve have a look at it. Unlike cards, grades are largely irrelevent for wax as the process is extremely subjective to say the least since there is very little uniformity in the wrappers to compare them with each other or against a grading scale.

    Thanks for all your responses.
    Who's Steve, P.S.A. grader?

    no point in sending it to GAI, if you get it back, you will not add any value or resolve any doubts about authenticity. send it to PSA and enjoy
