    Thanks, fellas! Jasen, I was very pleased about the 75 mini wax packs as 9s are very tough to come by, and to get all 4 graded 9 was a thrill! I should have opened fewer packs and sent them in for grading, LOL..

    Here's a couple of the 75 cellos. The shrinkwrap in the Rice holder is similar to what PSA uses to keep the minis in place so the packs don't shift around:

    I don't mind the shrinkwrap at all. In some ways, I prefer it over the other design which kind of cramps the pack sometimes.

    Here's a couple more 75s 9and a lone 74 cello, (which is a tougher year to find). The Hernandez cello has Schmidt face out on back:

    Nice grades! What was your turnaround time? Those popped seals get me nervous. Was the pack already coming loose when you sent it? What do you do with the popped packs when you get them back? Open them?

    Thanks! Turnaround time was 37 BDA. I was not surprised by the popped seal on the one pack as it was slightly loose when I sent it in. The pack itself is 100% legit and I will either open it or just hold on to it for now.

    looks like besides the munson pack, they are using the baggy now to prevent damage. great upgrade on the holder imo. sometimes may not look the best but the packs will be safe. anyone know if they are doing this on wax packs now?

    Duncan,

    My PSA 9 1980 OPC and PSA 8 1980 Topps wax pack with Henderson on back had the shrinkwrap in the holder, but the others were holdered in the new space which fits right around the pack without the tabs.
