Just picked this up. Being a collector of this type of material, I know that unopened wax packs of these 1981 Fleer all-star game sticker cards are somewhat scarce to begin with - but I have never come across this unique type of packaging on them. Internet searches have turned up nothing like it either.

    I have a couple 1980 OPC baseball racks which contained 4 wax packs.

    Now I'm going to have to dig through and find those racks to scan image ...I believe they both have the same dept. store price sticker on the header card, iirc.

    If you ever feel the need to downsize, I would very much like to own a 4-pack 1980 OPC rack.

    Here's a scan of my 1980 OPC 4-pack wax racks...both were acquired from the same source with the original price stickers on the header cards, which I thought was pretty cool.

    Reggie, I appreciate your offer, but want to keep this pair together for now at least..

    Edit to add: Just realized that these racks are longer than my scanner bed, lol..

    Target bought out Zellers not that long ago.

    Interesting note--if you go to the Zeller's web site, they are announcing a "Canada wide" store closeout sale, too. According to Wikipedia, Target bought them out in 2011 to expand into Canada where Zeller's was founded in 1931.

    Perhaps Andrew Jackson could convince you to reconsider....

    No, but Abraham Lincoln did, and so did his twin brother....

    Speaking of 1980 OPC wax, here's one of the nicer cards I've pulled from one of these packs..

    This is probably the holy grail for this type of rack pack...

    1979 OPC hockey


    I was offered one over 10 years ago for $1500. (I didn't buy it but at least the rate of return wouldn't have been THAT much.)

    OPC also made these for 1980 hockey. Steve Hart had one for sale at $450 and it sat quite a while believe it or not. It has since sold.

    I bought one of those '79 OPC 4 pack racks from Steve Hart at the Cleveland National. He had 2. Very rare. And very nice.
