BBCE has a 1979 wax tray case on consignment at national. Any interest in a board break?
It's 192 wax trays (3 packs each). Can probably get Steve to wrap individually marked "from a sealed case"
if there is enough interest.
Cost would probably be around $170-$175/tray plus shipping with the service fee we would need to pay.
Post interest level to this thread ASAP or it could be gone before we can get it reserved.

I know, I was being sarcastic. There is a history with this seller on these boards.
<< <i>Kind of surprised people are up for paying $175 per tray when the same packs were available for $50-60 in quantity here less than two years ago. Just curious, is there a price level at which your interest would drop off? >>
The biggest reason for the premium here is the sealed case aspect. The chance may not happen again.

Exactly. As an unopened collector, thats as good as it gets.
79 wax boxes sold for $400 two tears ago, too. Those price points are long gone.
Steve sold a 78 rack box at the National for $4500 and a 77 rack box for $5800.

I saw a few ugly ones with shredded corners were going for 100, and another guy had em at 195...so Steve, sealed case, wrapped, 170-175...sounds pretty good for the board, otherwise we can all fight it out for the few he had at 150 I think.
Good lookin out Dave.
he will set aside the case for us. The logistics will work exactly the same way as we do regular board breaks (and similar to
how we did the BID-TO-BREAK in May in the Memory Lane Auction):
1. All payments will go directly to Steve
2. Steve will add a 5$ fee for wrapping trays and marking them "from a sealed case"
3. Steve's usual postage rates will apply and be added to all totals
This is a decent chance for the "board" to go to National together without everyone actually being physically present. IMO it would be
very cool if everyone could share in this one.
We will need to move quickly, so I will start a separate thread for tray requests. We will apply a modified form of the "standard" rules,
with the only modification being a change to the limits and timeframes (so that we have a chance to actually get the case before someone
else scoops it up).
The specific changes are:
1) The thread is "live" from the instant it is posted.
2) Since we need to get all 192 trays accounted for, the first request limit will be 12 trays (you can request as few as 1 or as many as 12)
3) Every 12 hours after the thread is first posted, additional requests may be made for up to 6 more trays
I hope we get maximum participation, but the need to be timely to have a chance at this case before someone else buys it for themselves is
very real.
The case is priced at $30,000, which comes to $156.25 per tray (3 packs per tray). Add 5% for BBCE wraping fee and standard BBCE shipping
costs and I expect the final price per tray will be in the vicinity of $170 +/- a few dollars either way.
In the interests of time the break thread will not have all of the details in it (until I can get them added), so refer back to this thread and the BID-TO-BREAK
thread if you need additional details.
Good luck to all of us!

Can you guys help me understand the cost for 3 sealed packs for $170? I'm always interested in getting in on a fun rip, but I am having a hard time understanding the cost/benefit. Do tray's have better odds of the high value cards? Better centering? The only ebay history I see is one BBCE sealed wax tray sold early this month for $141. I see people signing up for 6+ packs...that's some hefty coin. Also, when i scan through the PSA price guide of PSA 9's, theres only about 10 hits that would cover the cost of the rip. Thanks!

Wax trays are scarcer than regular wax packs from same year, and are factory sealed, but main reason for premium in this case is that these trays are coming fresh from a sealed case, which almost never happens with product from that era.

The extra cost comes from the 5% to shrink-wrap it and authenticate it as coming from a sealed case (if you want that service)
and S&H (which was probably added to the $141 you saw on Ebay, which would be $47/pack).
Also consider that the overhead of setting up a booth at National is a bit heavier than eBay, so pricing at National always tends to be a bit stronger
than online.
And whe you consider Tim's points too, it's really not that much of a premium at all.
