Call a baseball card shop and ask the professionals. You might not get professional answers here.
One solution I read about was:
To remove wax residue, you can find something like a lady's stocking, roll it into a ball, and gently rub the wax off. The card needs to be on a clean, flat surface when you are removing the wax. Make sure not to scratch the card with your fingernail or any hard object.

You could try to do some of the things mentioned here, but you might risk damaging the card further. Are you sure that it is wax?? By trying to remove it, you might risk smudging the front of the card, or worst yet pealing off some of the color.

My first move would be to go to an antiques restorer. They know how to do all kinds of stuff like that without damage to the item. If they can't do it for you, they might know of someone else who can do it for you if you don't mind paying for the service. I would trust them better than a card shop. Some card shop people just "work there" and aren't really that knowledgable about the care of cards. Good luck! : )
