1982 Donruss question

Recently won rack packs in an auction and when they arrived their were 12 racks together with Donruss cello outwrappings which appear to be factory. Does anyone know if this is the way rack packs were sent out way back when? thanks for any info

    Yes, I am pretty sure Donruss distributed wax rack packs in 1982. You should be good. Where's Tim? I'm sure he can confirm.

    Those are good. Donruss made wax racks in 1982.

    If I'm reading this correctly, there is no link to rack and wax packs in the OPs question.

    There have been discussions related to rack packs not being cut properly, therefore making for a large "uncut" version of rack packs.

    Here is a link showing dual rack packs. This is how I'm interpreting the OPs question.

    Dual Rack Pack

    Not sure what the dual rack pack link was for, or if it had an incorrect link, but I was just wondering if the twelve racks came from Donruss with the cello wrapping on them. There are twelve racks sealed by a cello overwrap with Donruss markings. Wanted to know if the racks came in some configuration from the factory with the cello wrap or did some company "rewrap" them some time after 1982. That said, thanks to everyone who has responded.





    happy new year

    Can you post a picture of what you have? Sounds like it may be legit since the cello overwrap has the Donruss markings.



    The link was my attempt to show an example of a dual rack pack. I thought this is what you had.


    Thanks,
