They saved itself one wrapper expense, and moreover, one stick of gum. Maybe a few kids just couldn't get over that kind of change, and that continued to influence their perception of how cards should be valued.

I know, I'm wasting time here.

Maybe one man's bargain is another man's barnacle, but I hope you guys were at least happy with what you purchased.

Don't forget the one insert. I had to buy twice as many packs to complete my 1971 coin set. 153 10 cent packs is a lot for a kid.
