The History Of the Baseball Card Junk Wax Era 1986-1993

Reminiscing about my childhood during Junk Wax Era This refers to the period in the late-80s and early-90s where card manufacturers flooded the market with product, resulting in an massive, supply-side imbalance of supply and demand. Most cards and boxes from the Junk Wax Era are worth significantly less than similar cards released earlier in the 1980s, simply because the print quantities were so much greater. Many collectors, disappointed that so many of their cards weren’t as rare and valuable as they expected, ended up fleeing The Hobby during this era.
