Just lighthearted here, perhaps there's a very few of us that never got over the emotional trauma when, in the spring of 1970, Topps had raised the price of their nickel wax pack to a dime. You still got your cards at a penny apiece, so it was 10 cards for that dime. Raising the pack price to a dime accomplished two things for Topps. They saved itself one wrapper expense, and moreover, one stick of gum. Maybe a few kids just couldn't get over that kind of change, and that continued to influence their perception of how cards should be valued.
I know, I'm wasting time here.
Maybe one man's bargain is another man's barnacle, but I hope you guys were at least happy with what you purchased.
