Last night I opened a wax box of 1983 Topps. I was hoping for the Gwynn, Boggs and Sandberg RCs.

About halfway through, I opened a pack and the Sandberg was the card facing the wax - and contained wax residue. Then I flipped the cards over and the Gwynn was on the other side - with a stick of gum firmly stuck to the back. Damnit.

I did get a Boggs - very OC unfortunately - and another Gwynn - OC as well. Didn't get another Sandberg, but plenty of other HOFs.

Fun stuff opening old wax. Last week I opened a box of 89 Topps and 12 packs of 90 Donruss. Even though these cards aren't 'worth' anything, they were the ones I collected as a kid. So the nostalgia was worth it.

Have a box of 1984 Topps wax and a 1982 Topps cello box sitting on my table calling my name...
