About Wax Packs and Trading Card Boxes

Wax packs are sets of collectible cards still in their original packaging (never opened). Buying wax packs involves a little bit of risk and suspense, and a whole lot of self-control — you won’t know what card you’re going to get until you open the pack, but opening it decreases the value so most collectors never do.

Wax packs feature sports (football, baseball, hockey), musicians, and movies, among other things, and most (but not all) wax packs include a stick of bubble gum. Vintage wax packs printed before the 1980s are especially sought-after. Popular manufacturers include Donruss, Fleer, and, of course, Topps.
