I'm looking to pick up some wax boxes of cards from 1980-1985. Where is the best place to get them? ALSO - does anyone here have any for sale?

    Here is what I'm looking for at the moment :) - certified/fasc is best for me, but i think condition of the box and packs are even more so important.

    1980 Topps
    1981 Donruss/Fleer/Topps
    1982 Donruss/Fleer/Topps
    1983 Donruss/Topps
    1984 Donruss/Fleer
    1985 Fleer/Topps

    Those are at the top of my list at the moment anyway! I do want others such as

    1986 Donruss/Fleer/Topps
    1989 Upper Deck
    1990 Leaf 1 & 2
    1991 Stadium Club All

    I'm at a loss how you would buy unopened that doesn't have Canseco in it. Shocking really.

    Collecting PSA 9's from 1970-1977. Raw 9's from 72-77. Raw 10's from '78-'83.
    Collecting Unopened from '72-'83; mostly BBCE certified boxes/cases/racks.
    Prefer to buy in bulk.

    LOL right?! I love Canseco cards, which is obviously no secret, but it is the cardboard that gives me such a drive to collect.

    Hiya Tanner

    I like the 83F set. And, the statement about collation wasn't hype. It took only 2 boxes to totally complete the set. I did a thread on it a ways back.

    Here's the thread - you might remember after you see it: LINK.

    My only criticism is that many of the cards are OC - so if one wanted to do a well centered set - ya gotta open loads of it or just go to someone who has a hoard of it.

    I think I do remember seeing that link - great write up! I have fond memories of the 1983 Fleer Ripken ... I remember having it and keeping an eye on it in Beckett.

    Back in the early 90s, the Gwynn 83F was one my first pickups for the set that I never did.

    That's why I decided to do it recently. It's never too late?

    Can't explain, but I just liked the simple design and color of the set opposed to Topps.
