Don’t Throw Out the Wrappers!
Thought all the value was in your old cards, well think again, because I’m also interested in buying old hockey card wrappers! Remember riding your bike to the corner store to buy hockey cards! Most of us remember the taste of the bubble gum and searching the packs we just tore open and looked for cards we needed, (“got em, got em, need em”). Most of us also threw away the wax wrappers the cards came in, but a few people saved them! I love this kind of stuff and I just purchased this rare wax wrapper a from 1968-69 (O-Pee-Chee) wax pack, along with the collection on the table in front of me.
Buying Old Hockey Card Wrappers
What are Wax Packs?
Wax packs, also called unopened packs, are collectible cards still in their original packaging. Similarly, trading-card boxes are unopened boxes of cards. Buying wax packs and trading-card boxes involves a little bit of risk and suspense, and a whole lot of self-control—you won’t know what you’ve bought until you open the pack, but opening it decreases the value, so most collectors never do.
