Unopened pack collection

One forum user who greatly assisted in my wax, rack and cello run I am trying to complete from 1973-1998, asked to see what I had so far. First, I am not wealthy and can not afford to buy some of the more expensive packs right now. Second, despite what many here think, I do have some self control regarding unopened packs. I usually buy two of everything so I can keep one and open one. Doesn't always work. Anyway, here is what I have that I have managed to refrain from opening. May not be quite as extravagant as some other users on here. But, I took the pics on my bed where my wife sleeps naked.

    Very cool...I'm not so good at keeping wax sealed. Currently I have one of every pack made in 1983 (pending receipt of the '83 OPC hockey pack from a board member). The others are already encased in a large top loader and sealed in team bags...kind of like my electric fence. They will soon be framed in a shaddow box.

    Nothing like a bed loaded with unopened packs, nice stuff. I couldn't see your wife either.

    Bill,
    If I ever use the bed where my Wife sleeps naked to take a picture of my unopened wax, well the moral of the story is, I won't be sleeping there, unless of course its with my Packs. And I will have to admit as much as I love Unopened Wax, it will never compare to Opened Wife..Naked!!!!!!image

    My wife went out tonight with some friends. So while she was gone I had some private time with my packs. It was a very special moment.

    Nice. I noticed the other day on eBay they have cheap thin plastic cases for wax packs now. Would not be cool as having them slabbed (but likely a lot cheaper...and a good pay out/coolness factor.

    Bill,
    Funny that your Wife is out, so is mine, she is at the once a month "Bunko" thing, the reason I have so much time for these threads right now. And I hope there is nothing your keeping from her and the use of your guy's bed with packs while she is gone. I have to be honest, when I get the chance on our bed, it usually involves Hustler, Busty, High Society and a few other things!!! Cards are not involved!!!!

    very nice. I hope my pack collection can be like that one day. I think in the future the value of unopened packs will continue to rise faster then graded individule cards.

    There is a never ending supply of unopened wax...they are just a wrapper and a stack of commons or sharp off centered cards away.

    Very nice collection you have there, enjoy it and be proud of your dicipline! I had a collection that looked about a quarter of that size but I couldn't resist and ..................... ripped them all, but I did it a little at a time.



    << <i> But, I took the pics on my bed where my wife sleeps naked. >>

    I'm bummed out now. I checked out your other photos and you don't have any pics of your wife sleeping naked... j/ki
