1961, I had some money and then found the neighbor's pop bottles. I cashed the bottles in and went to the 5 and dime and bought a wax box. I remember being upset that it cost me $1.25. I was charged sales tax for the first time on baseball cards since I normally only bought one or two packs. On the way back, my friend and I opened them by a trash can in the alley and threw away all the wrappers and half the gum. I do not recall any certain player, but I had 120 new cards.
