No longer a virgin! (Unopen material)

Well, you unopen material guys finally got to me. I have always been much more of a single card kind of guy, but tonight, I did it! I bought my first box, a 1983 Topps baseball wax box. Steve has then currently at $249. I wanted a 1981 but could not find one at a decent price (to me) so I will start with the 83'. On your recommendations, I am going to only purchase from BBCE or from an ebay seller with excellent feedback selling BBCE wrapped products. My goal is to get 1981,82,83 Topps & am thinking about 84 Donruss, 85 Donruss, maybe some 91' Stadium Club football. Maybe 89' Score football. I think there may be potential in 2013 Topps or Bowman Chrome, seems to be a nice selection of rookies there. I would like 2012 Topps Chrome football but I think it may have already topped out? Any other suggestions out there?

<< <i>What were prices on 81 Topps wax?? Saw one at $400, was not sure if it was a decent price or not?? >>
$400 is way too high for the 81 wax box. The last time BBCE had them they were $250 and that was only a few weeks ago.

Yes, I agree, I was expecting about $250. The only other seller that I might purchase from is the Dugout, but there BIN prices are just to high for me. They do have quite a selection though & sometimes will sell in an auction format.

It is tough to stop yourself after saying you are only buying a few items. just like this Steve Martin line from the Jerk.
Well I'm gonna to go then! And I don't need any of this. I don't need this stuff, and I don't need *you*. I don't need anything. Except this.

And this remote control. - The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need... And these matches. - The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control, and the paddle ball... And this lamp. - The ashtray, this paddle game, and the remote control, and the lamp, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The paddle game and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches for sure. Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.
[walking outside]
Navin R. Johnson: The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, and this magazine, and the chair.
Navin R. Johnson: [outside now] And I don't need one other thing, except my dog.
[Shedhead growls at him]
Navin R. Johnson: I don't need my dog.

Nahhh! That's just a high series box! No PSA 10 Blylevens in that box
$400 for a 1981 BB wax box is an aggressive price point. I bought Steve's 1981 box from the site the other week for $250.

As an aside, this bad boy of the sealed case variety went for $364 delivered, so don't be surprised if fo hundy capitulates sooner rather than later.

LOL!! Quite a pitch there!

For some reason I recall these being like $90 a few years ago. Am I correct?

Correct, about 2 years ago. They have plateaued at about $250 though for past 6-8 months now, with a premium for one "from a sealed case."

Good memory,
@Tim - his descriptions are classic. Here's a gem.
