    The pack may be an 8 - but with the wax, that Gretzky is no better than a 7...

    Just like ANY seller of a legit unopened pack, If the seller thought there was a good chance the unopened pack busted by him would be worth a lot more than the unopened pack sold by him, then it would be busted by him...period.

    I'm sure any top card (gum) or bottom card (wax stain) will not yield a PSA 9 or 10 just because it has been untouched by human hands.

    If this business/industry is all about supply and demand, then it is an amazing collectible piece to hold onto as is.

    I wish I can afford it right now, that pack would be the holy grail to me.

    You do NOT purchase a pack like that to open ... it is to keep in your UNOPENED collection only.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    What would you be willing to pay for that pack. At that asking price, I think I would rather have a more vintage item, like one of the parkhurst.

    Wax on the front surface of a card can usually be wiped off, leaving no trace. Still, a card at the bottom of a pack is more likely to have corner issues.

    I opened a 1968 FB pack with Tommy Mcdonald showing on back (ie the wax card) and he got a 9 from psa image

    P.S. The pack got rejected by GAI when sent in for grading 10 years ago so that's why I opened it. Also pulled a mint Dick Butkus and 2 posters, not one. Was a legit pack but when Paul Wright was the grader GAI was very conservative, that went to h e double hockey sticks when he left.

    Current obsession, all things Topps 1969 - 1972
