My earliest memory was opening a 1967 wax pack as a little tyke..my dad bought it for me at the US NAVAL BASE exchange..but since I didn't collect them at the time I can't recall what cards were in them. I do recall opening 1971 cello pack that came in those blue box. I was seriously collecting between 1972-1975 as a kid so I vividly recall opening packs from those years many times over. Funniest one was buying 2 wax boxes at a local 7-11 in 1975 and going what the @$#%!
All the cards were miniatures..( I live in N. Calif
) then I went to the local drug store and found regular size cards...I went back to 7-11 and told them they sold strange cards..and the guy at the counter was like kid what are you talking about?
I also remember ripping open a 1971 Topps FB Rack Pack (I remember 2 Andy Russell All Pro cards on the front) and some 73 rack packs towards the end of the baseball season and getting cards from multiple series...
