ockdaymy 1st one ..I think it was 1988. I bought an unopened box of 1955 Bowman baseball from Mr. Mint.
I remember having a "pack attack" and opening the packs in the parking lot because I couldn't wait to get home.I remember not getting Mantle but getting a few hall of Famers like Kaline and Campy.
About 3/4 of the cards in each pack were in really rough shape because of the gum or from being bug infested. But each pack had one or two beautiful mint cards that were in the middle of the pack and so were not damaged. Funny ..I still have some of the crappy condition cards but none of the mint ones.
