80's Massive Factory Set Case/Wax Sale on Ebay

Nathaniel1960 · February 16, 2010 2:20AM

This lot just sold. I was tracking it and was interested in the results. I'm interested in your thoughts.

Linky

It starts off with a bang, 84 Donruss Factory Set case. Not sure there are many of those around. The bids hovered at $4k for a while, jumped in the last 10 seconds of bidding a bit. The more I read the description, the more I think anything north of $5K was too much. There's just too much 88 and 89 product.

Overly obvious quote of the day:

"Factory Cases that have been in my possession since time of purchase."

I guess its like when TSA asks if your bags have been in your possession the whole time since you packed them??

Famous quote of most resealers.

I think WAY too much. I bought an 84 Donruss Factory set a couple of years ago and the quality is weak. Very few that had a shot at PSA 10. I've heard rumors too that the factory set cards from that year may have some undersized issues. Other than that, not a lot of valuable stuff here. More like stuff that if you ordered it through another seller, would be worth just a bit more than the cost to ship it. In this case, who wants to drive across the country in a Uhaul to pick up a case of 89 Topps. Then where do you store it. A lot of additional costs in this auction. The seller should feel very happy about the price he/she received and the new empty space. In regards to the resealing, not a whole lot opps with this batch unless you want to replaced your dogeared Larry Walker rookies with some fresh ones.

I agree with Ulysses - not much here to reseal, not much here to resell, really. It would be great for flea-markets and/or shows at $5/box $3/box for most of it.
you'd probably have a packed table. but who wants to lug around a bunch of $5 retail boxes?
I'm glad I was not the winning bidder. And so is my bank account. If i had $5K to buy cards with, I think I could find something a little better to do with it

Thanks for sharing the auction. The seller did well here and there's a sucker born everyday. I am not an expert in wax cases, but that
is way too much change for 80s junk.

Buying and selling wax is not a smart way to invest 5K. You have better luck with the lottery.

Dontcha wish EBay still showed the IDs of all bidders, so you could contact the losers about buying your excess???
