Check out all the vintage wax!

Is all of this stuff legit? If so, that is a pretty nice (yet pricey) collection.

  • This stuff was discussed on a thread I posted a few days ago. Seller has numerous eBay id's. Uses the other id's to buy wrappers, boxes and crappy commons. I will let you decide if it is legit.

    Topps11 reincarnated. Stay away.


    Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
  • Seems pretty shady to me.

    I'm still trying to adjust to the fact that 70s merchandise is being referred to as Vintage image

    Considering that some of the posters on these boards have parents that hadn't even reached puberty in the '70s suggests that even '89 UD might be "vintage" to them...

    Seeing the 1979 Topps hockey box takes me back at least 5 years or so when they got a couple of guys I know of with bogus boxes on private deals. I understand that PSA has caught some of their recent resealed packs on the secondary market so it should be interesting to see if their work has improved to the point where a bunch of flipped graded packs are soon to hit the market. Not sure GAI will be able to screen them out unfortunately.

    eBay clearly doesn't understand how bad those types of sellers are. It amazes me how hard eBay is cracking down on what they call counterfeited items, but they still let this problem go on with wax packs and such.

    For example, My wife bought a Coach wallet a few months ago at a Coach outlet store and still has the receipt, but now she wants to sell it. We listed it on eBay and guaranteed it authentic with receipt and ebay pulled our auction. She sent a letter to ebay and asked why it was pulled and mentioned we have a store bought receipt. Here is the lovely letter we got back in our email the other day from ebay. (Can't ebay come up with some guidelines for card wax pack and boxes like their counterfeit items?)



    << <i>Dear Jeannette,

    Thank you for writing eBay in regard to your concern over a removed
    listing.

    Jeannette, I have reviewed your email and recognize your frustration. I
    would like to quickly and responsively address your concerns.

    Your listing was removed because it contained indicators that are
    commonly associated with fraudulent listings:

    Due to security concerns, I'm unable to share with you the specific
    criteria that we used to make this decision. We keep this information
    confidential, to prevent potential misuse.

    Please understand that it's against eBay policy and illegal to sell
    counterfeit or unauthorized items. This policy protects intellectual
    property and protects buyers from purchasing counterfeit or fraudulent
    items.

    eBay can remove a listing if we believe that the sale of the item might
    create liability for the buyer, the seller, or a third party.

    He does have some nice stuff, if they are legit!

    I know many people don't consider anything vintage after the war, but most people consider anything prior to 1980 as vintage.


    "Enduring appeal and classic" seems that what is vintage to one, may not be vintage to another.
    adj.
    Characterized by excellence, maturity, and enduring appeal; classic.

    You may be happier on the net54 boards if you haven't already tried them?
  • Question to Beezer12--you mention that Psa recently caught some bad paks that were submitted to them. Could you elaborate on what years, types of paks these "bad" paks were. As a collector of graded vintage paks its always good to have this current information. And you are right; I'm sure they will next be sent to Gai and who knows what they will conclude....

    Vintage has no time constraint, unless of course you are on the net54 site(vintage is defined as pre-WWII for their purpose).
    For clarity, I consider vintage to be pre 1980's, you can draw your own line. The net54 crowd will on one hand belittle you for thinking 50's-60's material is of "value"and on the other hand scold JimC and BruceD. for being pompous and arrogant because they only deal in high dollar material. That being said, they are top-notch on knowledge and very generous to those they agree with and most likely very solid individuals who don't want to deal with most people outside their circle.
