I have packs from all my sets from 1981 onward, but only wrappers from before then.
The exception is 1978, which was the first year I collected so when I expanded my '78 set 10 years ago or so to include not just the 726 cards but a lot of related items (empty boxes, uncut sheets, Topps vault production items, etc.) I added a sampling of packs. I can't recall for sure, but I am positive I didn't pay more than 30-50 for the rack, and then less for the cello and wax. It'd be a different story today for sure.
