This posting is timely with Halloween just over. I was 14 years old in 1980 and Halloween just ended at our house, not having as many kids come as planned a bag of wax Hockey cards my mother was going to give was extra, so knowing I collected Baseball cards she gave them to me. One of those wax packs had a Wayne Gretzky rookie. I still have all the cards from that bag as well as all the wrappers.
Edit: Getting ready for bed, I realized I left something out about the bag of wax cards. This was a mixed Hockey/Basketball, so along with the Gretzky rookie card I also know one Basketball wax pack had the 1979-1980 Bird scoring leader card and if I remember correctly a Magic Johnson card (not his rookie card but I think a scoring leader too.) Along with all the wrappers saved, I also saved the bag the cards came in. It's really cool looking at the bag the wax cards came in with a price of $1.59...lol (how times have changed)
