Classic Wax - Hockey Edition (Part 1)

I've always enjoyed repacks. Yeah, I know I'm better off just buying the cards I want...which I do on occasion. Maybe one of these days I'll try one of those Universal Treasures boxes but for now I like to keep my frivolous purchases under $100. 


This time I bought the hockey edition of Classic Wax.

18 packs with 15 cards in each pack...with shipping it comes to just under $100. Per usual, I'll do this in two posts...9 packs in each post. Let's begin!

Pack 1



1993 - 94 Donruss Peter Bondra
1990 - 91 Topps Record Breaker Wayne Gretzky 
1978 - 79 Topps Penalty Min Leaders Dave Schultz/Dave Williams/Dennis Polonich

I still remember 7 year old me thinking that those 1976 - 77 glossy inserts were stickers. Poor Rick MacLeish.

Next post will be the other 9 packs. Thanks for reading!

  1. I don't know who most of these guys are, but that Glossy Tony Esposito sure is neat. I wish Topps would've still been doing that kind of insert for the other sports at that point.
