The exhibits
All 50 cards in the JW50 sorted into curated groupings. The Griffey rookies stand as one exhibit. The famous errors stand as another. The basketball explosion, the sealed wax, the special-topic walk-throughs on inserts and holograms, each one is a room in the same building.
A History of Inserts
The mechanic that started as a novelty subset in the 1980s and ended the junk-wax era ten years later. Diamond Kings to Refractors, in order.
A History of Card Holograms
From the tiny hologram on the back of a 1989 Upper Deck base card to the 1997 Michael Jordan PMG Red that sold for over two million dollars.
The End of the Wax Pack
Wax-coated paper to chromium foil, 1984 to 1993. Photos of the actual packs at each turning point, from a sealed 1987 Topps to a sealed 1993 Topps Finest.
What a Pack Cost
Pack MSRP from a thirty-five cent Topps wax in 1985 to a four-dollar-and-ninety-nine cent Topps Finest in 1993, with what those numbers cost today.
