1980s baseball cards

Junk Wax deals in baseball cards from the late 1970s through early 1990s, with a focus on single cards and unopened packs for the set building enthusiast.

The majority of our inventory consists of Topps commons (mostly 1979-1990)and wax packs (1981-1992), although we do carry cards from other brands including Donruss, Fleer, and Upper Deck.

Located in Cincinnati, Ohio, we sell exclusively at sports card shows, particularly the monthly shows at the Sharonville Clarion Inn. To confirm whether we will be at a particular show, please email us in advance at cards@junkwax.com.

We offer something for every type of 80s baseball card collector:

  • Rookies - Biggio, Bonds, Clemens, Griffey, Gwynn, Johnson, Larkin, Maddux, Mattingly, Sandberg, Smoltz, Thomas, and many others
  • Graded - A variety of PSA 10 rookie cards of 1980s and 90s stars
  • Stars - Hall of Famers, fan favorites, and Cincinnati Reds legends from the late 70s through early 90s
  • Commons - Boxes and boxes of 1980s Topps, Donruss, and Fleer cards for set builders to peruse
  • Wax - A variety of wax, cello, and rack packs from 1981 through 1992

We also have a limited selection of complete sets, autographs, and cards featuring current and recent Reds players.

Although we don't sell online and we don't bring our entire inventory to every show, we are happy to fill want lists and have your cards ready for pickup at our next show. Just email us and we can let you know if we have the cards you're looking for.
