This one has GREAT long term potential ~ My goal for every Box I buy, but it doesn’t always work out that way……

Do the XRC redemptions expire?

The longer these glossy and foil cards sit dormant, the more they stick together and get ruined. I don't see any point in buying old products, in my negative experience in doing so

Some collectibles have appeal mainly for being mint/sealed regardless of the condition of their contents. Take vintage computer and video games for instance. They are not going to be opened or played. You could treat wax that way, collecting only for its rarity.

Yes - in 2 years

Well said

My PC is about 97% Wax. These 28 Cards make up the other 3%. Will eventually send the raws to PSA, if it makes financial sense to at that time

Yordan Stadium Club is a cool card. Love the horizontal "full swing" or "full stretch" pitching/hitting cards.

Out of curiosity, do you have a favorite or top 3 for your wax PC?

No Trout?? I like the concise choice of players but you need some Trouty in there! Thanks for sharing

I love the SC Yordan also
My top 3 Wax Boxes are not my most valuable- they are my most ‘cherished’

1. 2000 Bowman Jumbo HTA Football ( Brady RC )
2. 2015 / 16 UD SP Authentic Hockey Hobby ( McDavid RC )
3. 2019 / 20 Topps Chrome Bundesliga Soccer Hobby ( Haaland RC )

I’ve got PLENTY of Trout ~ Prospect and RC / he’s just all sealed up

Love it. Wasn't expecting hockey but that's an awesome box--the Oilers jerseys look good.

Would be interested to see what some of the non-Haaland cards from the Bundesliga box may be worth in 5-10 years.

But you truly don't know if you actually have PLENTY though, right?

Correct - I have plenty of Boxes that ‘could ’ contain ???? Number of Trouts

Not knowing for sure with many thousands spent is very exciting…
Why spend $3k on a 2011 Topps update PSA 10 US175, when for just $1k more, I can buy a Hobby Box that could have none

This is where I will refrain from spouting off against the gambling nature that is sealed wax "investing".

(and for the record, Trout 10's are $1500 these days)
