Mid 1990s junk wax breaks - packs 1 - 4



At Angels FanFest, I found an exhibitor selling a bunch of junk wax, junk wax era factory sets, et al - I thought I'd rounded up a good mix of 10 packs [$0.50 each] from 'premium quality' years, where card companies strived to produced cards looked a little better than your average 'junk wax' era cards from the mid 1980s through about 1991.

I guess as great as the cards had started to look through the mid 1990s - the cards in the foil packs I picked up didn't age well at all.

The glossy cards stuck together and inks that once added to the aesthetic had caused paper loss when the cards were peeled apart from each other - I threw away the cards that generally ended up being garbage and made do with the cards I could salvage.
