Just insane.

Most of these collections deserve their own thread. Amazing stuff.

Reminds me of when I first stumbled upon these forums 10y ago.

Waiting for CPAMike to drop in those shelves of 70s and 80s boxes.

Another great "favorites" thread. In addition to my 1956 set project, I love collecting unopened material (mostly graded wax packs, and some star racks). Here are a few of my favorites:

This is by far my favorite wax pack item in my collection. It is a 1962 wax pack, graded PSA7. What makes this pack even more special, is that while it is not labeled on the holder it has card #204 on the back, Johnny Weekly. Why is Johnny Weekly so exciting? Well, it makes it a series 3 pack that could contain the Mickey Mantle, card #200.

This is the second favorite pack in my collection. My dad got his collecting bug going in 1971 and used to tell me stories about opening 20-25 boxes of 1971 topps. It was easy to believe him as in the 80s he had probably 30 steve garvey rookies. This is the crown jewel of my 1970s topps pack run.

The last item that has really found a great home in my collection is this 1984 OPC rack pack with Mattingly on top and the Iron Man on back. 1984, to my knowledge, was the only year that OPC made rack packs for baseball. I purchased it at the 2021 National and am very happy that I did!

I believe you purchased the 1962 wax pack from BBCE when I was into my run of 1960 wax packs. I left it on the "Store Shelf" since I already had a 1962 pack...ugh and congrats to you for picking it up!

My tray collection.

Jeremy, I think you have a few too many 76 and 77 trays. Its time for you to sell one of each to me! :-)

Actually I no longer have the Kerr rack, it resides in Philly.

Some of my favorite racks.

Hey magellan,
Pretty Cool on your Racks!

One of the fun parts of collecting for a long time is you have many... "Gee I might have one of those somewhere" moments....I honestly do not know why or when I bought these, but I guess I kept them (just to show them here)!!! LOL

Hey threeofsix,
That’s Pretty Cool on your wax pack of the Planet of the Apes!

Dug out my humble stash of Griffey junk wax. Nothing too valuable, but I enjoy it! Probably will never open the UD foil boxes. Spent too much time trying to find nice specimens to open them for a glut of Luis Medina Star Rookies like I got from the only other boxes I’ve opened. Haha

Hey MParker7
Pretty Cool on your BBCE box's!

Are these regular racks with different header cards or something different?

@hamilton888
I don't know what to like more -- the actual Racks or those amazing Display Cases! Love that Boggs / Gwynn Rack (is Sandberg on the back of that one?)

Thanks everyone for all the trips down memory lane! These packs / racks / cases are amazing!

Love your display Greg !

Junk wax displays.

Hey countdouglas,
That's Pretty Cool!

Love all that junk!

Not to Hijack a thread, but it relates to packs. About a year ago I thought I remember some 1983 Topps Michigan Test set packs which advertised who was "Showing" on the front or back. Maybe it's my older set of eyes, but I can't seem to tell anything in the 6 or 7 of these packs I have. Are they using a high power light?
