This factory sealed 1991 Wild Card NFL Football Premier Edition Wax Box Case consists of 10 factory sealed boxes, each consisting of 36 (15 card) packs.

Industry veterans claim that this first year Wild Card NFL product was limited to 30,000 (Ten Box) cases.

A product before it’s time, Wild Card was actually the hobby’s first introduction to multiplier or “parallel” cards.

Random cards were inserted within packs with a small labeling stripe of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, or 1000.  The concept was originally intended so that a customer could send in a striped card (back to Wild Card) for the corresponding number of base cards equal to the stripe number.  For example, a Deion Sanders with a 100 stripe could be sent in for 100 base Deion Sanders cards.  However, this concept was quickly altered by the collecting public, opting to value striped cards by  multiplying the value of a base card by the corresponding number on the stripe.  For example, if a Deion Sanders base card market retail value was $5.00 at the time, a 100 stripe Deion Sanders card was assigned a $500.00 retail value by collectors/dealers.  Moving forward to present day, there is a small niche group dedicated to Wild Card Stripe set building.
