That was fun in 89...the whole 80's was fun opening all that junk wax.
One of the coolest pack openings for me was in 1991. I was not collecting at the time and was with my wife shopping. Bored I found a box of wax packs at the mall and bought a couple packs. Hated the cards immediately, haha. A couple packs in I pull a 1970 Topps Cito Gaston (semi-high) card. I was SHOCKED. It was super crisp, but severely OC. I then read on the wrapper that they were inserting vintage cards in packs as a promotion. I went home and threw the little stack of cards in a drawer and forgot about them. When I got back into collecting vintage sets I remembered that pull...dug until I found that Cito, and made sure that card was in my 1970 set. That was the year I was born...so to me it is SUPER cool I have a 1970 card in my set I pulled from a pack. Kind of geeky...but I love it, it's my favorite card in that binder.
