Buying my first whole box of wax packs in '85 to complete my set. I was in heaven with all those packs to open. Last card I needed was the Gooden rookie. I think my head it the ceiling when I finally got it in one of those packs. And I think I can attribute at least one childhood cavity to all the gum that day.
My first wax pack memory was my mom buying me '76 football from a very small grocery store across the street from my dads work. I wrote my name on all the cards, so mine wouldn't get mixed up with my sisters. At the age of 4 I wrote my name backwards. MIT. I don't have those anymore and would love to find one some day.
