💬 Collector Notes
Independent editorial assessment
True to the name, Junk Wax Sal has tables stacked with late ’80s and early ’90s cardboard—expect boxes of raw Griffeys, Cansecos, and maybe a few oddball boxes you’ve only seen in old Beckett ads. It’s an old-school setup, borderline hoarder-style, but if you’re hunting for PC nostalgia or bulk for cheap rips, it’s worth digging. Sal knows his era, though don’t expect graded comps or much modern wax—this place is frozen in ’91 and proud of it.
