I know these are extremely hard to find, but I am hoping that by posting it for so many of my fellow board members, some one will be able to help me out. The desert was a missed opportunity, but we didn't really have time for that kind of stuff.

    Good luck finding un-tampered with packs. If youre looking to build a set, doing it with singles would be the best way. In fact, I dont think you can tell by the packs which is DS and which is regular topps.

    Yeah, I am aware there is no difference in the look of the packs. I currently own two raw sets and am working on a set in PSA 9 or 10. I am just looking for wax boxes or packs to go with the set. Thanks for the reply.

    I wonder what a wax box looks like. Normal? Maybe with Not for Resale printing on it...maybe just a blank box? Anyone ever see a confirmed box?

    The last box I saw for sale was through the Topps Vault and sold at $1800. That's a steal compared to today's modern stuff.

    From what I remember, the box looks exactly like the regular wax box.

    I sent a couple of emails for scan of cards and got a quick reply. Not sure if this is any help or not for you

    If anyone that is reading this is new to these and thinking of starting collecting them, there are counterfeits. IIRC the shield is darker. A Counterfeit Desert Shield Google search should show the site that has the info.

    IAHAWKS,

    Thanks for the link. I will contact him today. I don't need the set, but maybe he will know someone who owns the wax.
