So, do you have this box still after all these years?
I believe he just had the packs graded. I haven't read the entire thread so I'm not sure how the PSA labels are worded.
In my opinion if the packs are not labelled in a way that states the packs are from a run of error packs, and they cant possibly be labelled that way because PSA would not likely put themselves on the hook for that, then grading these packs was the worst possible thing to do with them.
The odd thing is why did he only grade 33 of the 36 packs. Did he sequence out 3 packs that he felt might have had Frank Thomas NNOF in them and open or save those?

The last thread had a bunch of posts deleted because folks made that accusation. Let's avoid that here if possible because a lot of good info gets deleted. I believe it is possible to determine the sequence of '90 Topps to a certain degree of accuracy but I haven't figured it out yet.
Quote from the thread linked:
"In 2013, I bought two of the green 1990 Topps wax boxes (with Griffey pictured on top) from a guy. I opened all of the packs in one of the boxes and pulled a NNOF Thomas and about 6 of the other known blackless error cards. All of the orange sheet cards I pulled that would have been part of the affected blackless streak, were indeed the blackless error versions.
I then started opening packs from the second box. In the first few packs, I pulled a Kenny Rogers cards with a slanted blue print line across the front (that same blue slanted line appears across the front of all the Kevin Tapani blackless errors I have). I also then pulled one of the blackless errors (I believe it was a Joe Magrane All Star card)). At that point, I stopped opening the packs and put that box with the remaining packs away until this past summer...when I decided to send the 33 remaining packs in to PSA to be graded."
