I started ripping wax in 1977 and though some years were more focused than others, quit around 1989. Not sure what the most valuable card I pulled from a wax/cello/rack pack was, but I guarantee that it was worth more when I pulled it than it is now. In the 1980's, pulling a Mattingly, Strawberry, Gooden, Ripken, UD Griffey or other hot RC was like a winning lottery ticket.
