When I returned to the hobby of sports card collecting a few years ago, I quickly realized something. I realized that the boxes of cards that I have from the late 80's through the early 90's were mostly worthless. Our buddy at VOTC (Voice of the Collector) created a "How To" video about how we should handle our junk wax.
I came across a blog about restoring the value of the 87 Topps set. The dude's plan? Burn cards baby! More burning! Check it out.
I have a small stack of Fleer cards. Cards from various sports, and a few different years, like this Mario Lemieux from 1993. All fall within the junk-wax era. They are the same width as a regular sized sports card, but are about an inch longer. The images of the athlete really jump off the card with the extra area to work with. I have not done any eBay research to see if these are worth anything.
Questions; Is everything from the junk-wax area junk? Do we burn it all?
