Default Those irresistible 5 cent baseball card packs

How can a 4or5 year old kid in the early 1960's NOT open packs within reach?

"A few years ago a caller to my radio show at the time had found a few boxes of 1954 Topps packs when tearing up their Kitchen floor for a remodeling job. The boxes had been placed there for inexpensive insulation. After opening a bunch of packs, they decided to call our show to find if the rest of the unopened boxes were worth anything. If my memory serves me correctly, they had 4 more unopened boxes that sold for around $85,000....EACH!"

WOW.....

As an adult, I could not have a wax box in the house because I would open all the packs. I have opened entire cases that I didn't purchase to open in an hour. It's like, do you know how I don't eat a whole bag of cheetoes or box of twinkies? I don't have a bag of cheatos or twinkies in the house.

My strength is I know my weaknesses.
