I’ve opened scores of 1972 Sunoco Stamps “packs” in the past year. Love the price tag (maybe $2-3 per pack) and star power (probably 80 percent of packs have at least one HOF player or stars like Cliff Harris, Chuck Howley, or Harold Carmichael).
Not sure this counts! But it’s great fun. Next-oldest for me (in any sport) would be 1982 Topps Football when I was a little kid! Last edited by defpotec; 07-21-2019 at 11:00 AM.

Back in the mid 1990s, when I was writing a monthly column for Baseball Hobby News, I wrote about the thrill of opening my first pack of cards in 1959. I talked about the thrill of opening hundreds of packs in 1960 and 1961 and how great it would be to go back in time and open one more of those vintage packs. Turns out, I didn't have to. One kind dealer enjoyed reading the column and sent me an unopened 1960 pack. Hall of Famer Early Wynn was the third card in the pack.

In the mid 1980's, there was a dealer selling 1959 Topps cello packs for $20.00. I think it was an Atlantic City show. Anyway, I bought one pack (Oh why did I not have the foresight to buy more) and pulled a Mantle a Mays and an Aaron.................Oh wait, that was my fantasy.......I pulled all commons. But it was a load of fun ripping that open.
