Every great story starts somewhere. For the Junk Wax Journey, it begins in 1987 — the year woodgrain borders, bold Rated Rookies, and the first true wave of junk wax magic hit the shelves. 1987 is the year I became a collector; I was just old enough to have a few dollars in my pocket and head to the corner store on my bike to pick up a pack of cards.  It’s the perfect starting line for a project built on nostalgia, team spirit, and the joy of ripping through every product of the era.

Let's have a look at some of the cards in the 1987 sets, and what sales data we can see for cards in raw, ungraded state, PSA 9, and PSA 10 grades. These values are not collected programmatically. Please view these values as rough estimates, I eyeballed all the values and rounded a bit and card prices change very frequently.
