I guess it depends on when you priced the cards. If you are talking about current prices, today, then my best pack pulled card as a kid was probably the Bird/Magic RC. Sadly, I broke it apart like many kids did with those. Still have two of them in the "torn" 3 card format.
I also bought Topps hockey in the Gretzky RC year. Had no idea who he was but was dying to get a Gordie Howe. Didn't get either.
I bought a few packs of 86-87 Basketball and apparently didn't pull the Jordan card either (or someone stole it or ripped me off for it), but got the Jordan sticker and most of the other "rookies" from the set (Malone, Ewing, Hakeem, Wilkins, etc).
Then for baseball, maybe the Rickey Henderson or Eddie Murray RCs. I would consider my wax buying as a kid from 78-87. I bought a vending box of 82 T, so never pulled a Ripken RC from a pack (unless you count the Donruss and Fleer cards).
