Anyways…lets discuss how you can tell if a 1986/87 Fleer Basketball Wax Box is clean and unsearched. With this being such a rare box with a high dollar value, it is especially important to ensure that the box is untampered with. Below are the steps that our experts follow:

1. Inspect the overall condition of each pack, ensuring the seals are intact, no presence of suspicious wear on the corners and folds of the wrapper, and confirm the gum slides within the pack and is not stuck to the top card in the pack.

2. Count the number of Jordan stickers on the back of the packs. The sticker card is always back side up at the sealed end of the pack, and can be identified through the translucent wax paper. Look to find three to four Jordan stickers, which is consistent with a clean and unshuffled box. Every wax box has at least three stickers of each player (11 players in all), and a fourth sticker for three of the players.

3. Identify the specific cards on the top of the pack through the translucent wax paper. Possessing the proprietary information regarding the sequencing of cards within a pack/box, verify all the cards that should be present in a box are there. The 1986/87 Fleer basketball set has only 132 cards, so a full box makes three complete sets, with a few cards left over to start a fourth.

• Purchase essential supplies – this includes cardboard storage boxes for sets and commons, and soft-sleeves and top loaders or snap-tights/one-touch holders for singles.

• Never try to “jam” a card into a top loader or case. If you are dealing with a thicker card get the proper supplies for it. The supply companies do a great job matching their products with all different card types and sizes, take advantage of that.

• Store your cards in a cool, dry place. This will help prevent the negative effects of humidity and temperature extremes which can be especially damaging to your collection.

• Even after cards are put into top loaders or one touch cases don’t just stack them in any old box. Supply companies make boxes that fit all types of cases, even graded cards.

• If you have a set that is just short of filling a box, make sure to use foam box filler pads to keep your cards upright and tight, preventing them from sliding around.

• If you want to be able to easily view and show off certain cards use high quality pocket pages and a binder or display book. Consider looking into pages that hold actual cases in them for maximum protection.
