Don't think about it from the perspective of your re-sale potential, but instead, which issue do you think you would have the most fun with in opening them all up, right from a box full of packs???

A box full of these guys, because i still have an actual memory of looking over a pile of them on a tabletop in a corner grocery store in the summer of '51, and wondering if the "five-for-dime" price was worth my fifty cents a week allowance as a seven-year-old skinflint. Almost any other candy would have made a better lure than the godawful caramel bar in the pack, but a penny for a card that might today be worth thousands seemed like a ripoff then.
