I accidentally left not only the cards at home, but also my USB key holding the scans. Check back tomorrow.
Bad Wax - The initial post
Tonight I will purchase the epitome of bad wax, the “value” box of 25 different packs for 10 bucks. Over the next few days I am going to chronicle each pack. Every pack will be rated by the following:
1 - Initial cost (when pack was new)
2 - Cards in pack
3 - Stars in pack
4 - Beckett value of cards in pack
5 - Design of card
6 - Number of awful players in pack
Those will be judged out of 5 stars, the average will be the overall score. Each pack will be available to purchase (strictly to help me raise money for my next crappy blaster pack. I hope that you will find this just as fun as I will and please by all means sent me pictures of your worthless cards / the more awesomely bad, the better.
What is Bad Wax?
Bad Wax is when you go to Walmart or Target and get a wax pack (sports card baseball pack), open it up hoping to find some valuable cards, but instead you get crap or what I like to call an awesomely bad wax pack. I bet you are wondering why I’m calling them wax packs if they are actually in mylar? The term wax pack came from the 70s / 80s when baseball cards came in wax packages (usually with some seriously stale gum).
The site has changed quite a bit over the course of the year and it has gone from a site solely based on wax from 1986 - 1992, to a site which is now oriented towards the collector on a budget. So if you are lacking in the dollar department and want to have a nice collection, read on and take some notes. I also offer my views on the state of the industry and a section or two on rising stars.
