Junk wax packs at the "antique" mall

[Mighty Bombjack]

Look at this little trove I stumbled upon at the "antique mall" (which, I'm sure most of you know, is a synonym of "indoor flea market"). It piqued my interest for sure, and I found myself all a-tingle at the thought of time traveling 25-30 years into the past.

The little "$2.75 each" sign brought me back down real quick, though.

Yep, all I ever find out and about is junk wax.

NO 50s mint attic finds for me.

That's exactly what makes it junk.

I still sat and pondered the pile of wax. After I saw the price tag (and immediately knew I wouldn't be opening any of it), I started thinking about what I would pay for the whole pile. Ten bucks? Fifteen? I mean, it would be the cost of nostalgia; ain't nothin' in those packs that would resell for even half the price being asked per.

You could use the Topps gum to stabilize wobbly furniture...

The Nolan Ryan baseball looks kind of cool. Looks like a gameday giveaway with the big advertisement on it.
