From the 1977 Topps baseball wax pack BBCE group purchase in January: I bought 3 packs and opened one. Sent 2 to PSA and they came back 8, NM/MT. Pretty happy with 'em.

As far as turnaround time, they received the cards on 1/26 and I got them back today, 3/17, so within the 45 business day promised time.

    Congrats, wax packs are the hardest to get a high grade on. Did the gum stay in place on the way back to you? Some guys have had issues with the gum ripping the wrapper after their packs have been graded.

    Nice, Daniel -- any stars showing?

    The gum stayed perfectly intact. PSA put the packs in some kind of shrink wrap bags before encapulating them. No stars showing. Here is a scan of one of the packs:

    You need to send Daniel your Topps/Bazooka Joe x ray vision glasses from 1966. image

    Nice job Daniel.
    Good for you.
