I have a pack grading order that is being processed. All of the items made it through the grading phase, but then I unfortunately found out that PSA discovered during the assembly process that after being assigned grades, a couple of them were just barely too thick to fit in their holders and will be returned raw. I believe my only other option is BBCE for having them sealed as authentic by a reasonably respected business/service (I don't think GAI is a choice anymore), but I'm not sure. Does BBCE accept submission of single packs for authentication and sealing? Or just boxes? I have not sent items to them before and was trying to find the info on their site, but didn't see reference to anything other than accepting boxes and cases. The sealed packs are 1936 Reemtsma Olympia (w/ Jesse Owens).

This company CG grade also grades packs and cards, obviously for any high dollar packs and cards you prefer to go with psa
I only go with CG grade for cards valued under 100$ because of quick turn around time and quality holders.

Those 1997 Star Trek TOS Season One Sealed boxes have truly dried up, but interest has dropped as well.
Read recently that it's figured 20% of the key autographs are still sealed up.
Curly Shuffle 45 in original picture sleeve! Really Nice man, really nice! What condition is it in?
I love the TOS box as well!!! I was at a sports card shop closing a few years back, and found an empty box with 1 remaining $5 pack on sale for $2… so I grabbed it…. And of course… it was the Shatner auto… and of course I got it graded… and of course it was a gem mint 10!!!
So yes… my guess is there are a few TOS goodies still lying around!!!
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one. Live long, and prosper.
This 1990 Donruss rack pack came as a surprise in a card lot I bought from an auction house.
Has 2 Ryne Sanbergs on top. Not worth a whole lot but pretty cool. (If only the middle cell had another Ryno card)
Also, there was a ticket stub. Looked up the game and didn't find any major event associated with the game.
The complete game is on YouTube, but I haven't watched it yet.
I self-subbed that 1980 FB/BB cello pack. We broke a box of them from BBCE here on CU years ago. They are pretty cool.
I've always been a fan of wax trays which are like FASC in miniature to me. 1974 is one of the toughest years to find.
Speaking of 1974, a PSA 7 cello with Nate Colbert Nat'l Lea card on top.

You let a cello pack go with a jets player on top !!!!
Yes, I did I collect only unopened baseball so that pack only fit halfway in my collection

Came across a few items that I'd forgotten about that are appropriate for this thread.
First, a Jim Abbott/Mickey Mantle rack.
.
.
Second, a Dr. K/Eric The Red rack.
.
.
Next, a few random packs.
.
.
A partial box of the 1981 Phillies Team Coca-Cola cards.
.
.
A foilboard insert pack from the Topps factory set with Ohtani on top.
.
.
Lastly, I was on the road this weekend and stopped in a card shop I'd never been in before. I guess as part of a Topps promotion, they had a supply of free packs to be given out, one pack per customer. There's absolutely no way the owner could have ever known just how big of a Trouty fan that I am, or just how THRILLED I was to receive this pack that he randomly pulled from the middle of the stack to hand to me! Lol

I've been picking up some junk wax lately, some for the collection, some to rip later this month when I get together with my childhood friend that also still has the "card affliction". Lol
I picked this "BBCE wrapped 1989 Bowman wax box" off of eBay, winning the auction for less than the usual wax box price, even though the pics clearly showed the back label indicating that it was actually a 1989 Bowman rack box.
.
.
After winning that auction, I browsed the seller's other items, and they also had a BBCE wrapped 1990 Fleer Football rack box, so I bid and won, taking advantage of the reduced shipping charges to have it shipped along with my first purchase. Can't beat that! 👍
.
.
Then I was able to find a few items that you don't see all that often that take me right back, smack dab, into the junk era. The first two were 1988 Score and 1990 Score rack boxes from my LCS.
.
.
Then this rare goodie was an eBay purchase. A 1992 Donruss Series 2 rack box. I guess I'm on the hunt now to eventually pick up a Series 1 box. Lol
.
.
Then, I picked up 2 boxes of 1990 Pro Set Series 2. We're gonna be hunting for Santa Claus!
.
.
Finally, a mixed bag purchase directly from BBCE.
First, a couple of junk wax football.
.
.
A couple of loose racks. The 90 Fleer Basketball rack is kind of a placeholder, as I still would like to add an entire rack box to the collection. The 87 Fleer Baseball rack is one with the red, 15 card wrapper variation, I believe only sold at Toys R Us and maybe a few other similar retail places or grocery chains. I already own several rack boxes of the more recognizable blue, 17 card wrappers, and just wanted to have the variation, as well. I regret never pulling the trigger previously when I'd seen the red pack floor stand displays for sale, and now with prices what they are, one pack will have to do.
.
.
Last part of my BBCE purchase was a bunch of random single packs of non sports for the PC, and a few sports packs to add to the "soon to be ripped" pile. While not pictured, I bought multiples of some of the football packs just so we won't be one and done. Thanks for looking.

Some awesome junk wax on a shoe rack
My youth…
Thank you; I had not heard of them before. Looks like they do wax and foil, but they do not do cello, paperpack, rack, etc.
email them and ask, they usually reply quickly , I did not know they graded oversized cards until I asked them
Picked up this sweet 79 bb wax tray with brown price tag from bbce auctions !!
Looking for a 80 bb tray brown price tag and a 79 football tray with green price tag authenticated I will pay top dollar
I recently found these in a box in the closet. A full box of Topps 1981 NBA wax packs. I don't even know what to do with them.
My dedicated 90 Fleer Basketball corner. The magnetic acrylic case is nearly worth more than the contents
Love 1990 Fleer basketball. That Admiral card was one of my favorites as a kid. You should add his Rookie Sensation from that year to your shrine.
The Matchbox car storage case is not on the Space 1999 box. Its the pic angle, its actually on wood blocks

It's the singer not the song - Peter Townshend (1972)
Thanks. I grade the 45 as NM. I am its original owner.
