Two O-Pee-Chee packs with Gretzky showing
What are the chances these are not resealed. I want them to be real but I'd need BBCE or someone to authenticate them first if I'm dropping that kind of cash on unopened packs.

What do you think they are worth if they are real?

I've busted more Topps than OPC in my lifetime, but I've never seen wax residue on the front surface - it's always on the backs. That's the first question I would have for someone more knowledgeable than me.
If they are real, graded packs usually only fetch ~$4k. Add a wax-stained Gretzky in it, it's hard to say how much it goes up. If they are real, they should be authenticated and slabbed.

Wow, really?
I just might have been joking ... sorry it wasn't an eBay link so that you could understand it.

What I like is that the item description for the packs says 2 well centered Gretzky rookies. First, how do they know that unless the opened them. Second, O-Pee-chee had a history of off centered not equal size cards.

I have seen wax residue on the fronts. It is possible to get it of the front if done correctly but does not seem to work on the back.

I am by no means an expert on the subject, but don't the cards usually face the other way in the packs? Shouldn't we be seeing the back of the cards not the front?

Yea, selling tactics. I'm not even so sure they are legit.
