I was looking for a 75 mini wax pack to rip tonight (from past group rips) and was about to settle on this one, but this pack had other ideas. On many 75 mini wax packs, the card on back is "face out" and when I checked the back card on this beauty, I was thrilled to see the first name ROBIN followed by a YO and realized this pack would not be going to the great beyond, lol..

Hard to see through the scan...

    Nice! Do you check the back on every pack before opening or did you just happen to check this one?

    I usually do check, if the card is face out on back and the name is visible through the wrapper.

    Congrats Tim. Another great add to your collection. Are you going to send it to PSA?

    Too bad those 2 hairs on the back of the pack could'nt have been removed before sealing.image

    Yes, indeed! LOL!

    I rescanned the pack in a new team bag~this one sans whiskers. image

    Most likely, I will~there is a small hole/tear on bottom right corner of the pack which would likely limit grade to a 6-7, but would be cool to add it to my graded mini wax packs with stars on back collection. I have a pair of PSA 7 packs with Brett on back and I may have another Yount somewhere, too.

    Nice pack Tim. You have had great luck with wax with stars showing. Me, not so much luck. image

    Hiya Tim

    What a great find!

    That's better than me finding my packs.

    As long as you keep it sealed, it's a PSA 10 if I ever saw one. image

    The wrapper makes me miss my old Topps card locker. I need to pick one for display one of these days.
