I love these threads that take me back to my childhood of busting packs. I could be wrong, but in my little town in north central PA, I believe the 1973's were still done in series. I got very few high numbers.
The grocery store sold wax all the time, and once in a great while would have rack packs. However, for cello, I had to wait until my parents went to the town 15 miles away to grab those. I would spend the whole time in that store searching the cellos for Pirates on the top or bottom. And that store sold only cellos. Strange the things you remember !
