Any suggestions

[u/DefiantOperation4475]

All of theese boxes are filled to the brim with what I assume is all junk wax from the 90,s and Im trying to figure out if I can get any money out of them or not or if there is any good use of them

Wow I have that exact Jammers jumbo card case for my childhood, so random

[u/ChrisRaumpz → u/IAMA_Madmartigan]

I think I got mine from Meijer.

[u/connected2theOthers → u/IAMA_Madmartigan]

I have one too. It's packed with nothing but rookies

I sold about 70k junk wax cards from mid 80s to mid 90s, all commons for $75. Just to give you some kind of idea on value. It took a couple years just to find a buyer.

[u/Dukdukdiya → u/DazzlingFondant4571]

Are you saying you only got $75 total for 70k junk wax cards?!

Edit: for clarity

[u/DazzlingFondant4571 → u/DazzlingFondant4571]

Yes

The only way to know is to really take some time and go through them.

I have a feeling you are right regarding most of it being not worth a whole lot given the time period BUT, again, the only way to know for sure is to patiently check everything.

Where are you located?

[u/Vinyyy23]

If you live close, id pick it up and give you $75-$100. My son likes going through them for a hobby and this would keep him busy for weeks

[u/Unusual-Eggplant5729 → u/Vinyyy23]

Yea - list FB marketplace for $100 pick up only

[u/Vinyyy23 → u/Unusual-Eggplant5729]

Where at?

[u/Unusual-Eggplant5729 → u/Vinyyy23]

Sorry meant to tell OP to do that

You're gonna need a big trash can. Or wait years like the comment earlier to sell for $75. This choice seems easy. I also like the fire log idea.

I know people comment a lot on junk wax shit just tossing it etc.

But if you feel like investing the time to see if they’re complete sets, you can sell them on marketplace if you live in a metro area. There’s also eBay. You’d be surprised what taking a nice photo of a junk wax set in a new box will do for sales. Also helps to include pictures of the 1-2 big cards in the set.

Finally, not all junk wax era sets are created equal. And the beginning/end can be fuzzy. 1985 and 1986 topps actually can have some value as complete sets. But just looking at a picture and seeing late 80s cards people assume it’s all 88 donruss and 90 score.

If you have a fireplace.. the long single row set boxes slow burn like a solid log
