That's outstanding. I wonder if Topps has any more of those redemption pennants in their vault?
 This is a great thread, btw. I remember buying some unopened 78 cello packs in the mid-80s at a LCS when I was trying to complete my first set. Recently, I unearthed some 90 Upper Deck "Find the Reggie" boxes from my closet and busted them open. Did not find the Reggie, sadly.

You know...I think there's a small gum stain on the front.

Fresh out of the 5-cent waxpack, these 5 cards were MINT. The Hal Jeffcoat & Billy Herman cards were hardly touched ; and therefore, still pretty sharp looking. The Ben Chapman (actually the picture is that of Sam Chapman) card was handled often. I traded the George Spencer card to my NY Giants buddy; and, later, I recovered it from him. And, the Mantle card was "loved", therefore quite worn. The diagonal line down from his left ear is a surface scratch (not a crease). I have a TRIVIA ? regarding this card's number "311"....what is the significance of this number ? I recovered all the sports and non-sports cards from my youthful collection (1947 - 1952) in 1977.

1951 Topps Red Back pack. Although I've never opened it I've thought about it many times. It's the only unopened pack I've got and I think it's pretty neat. Relatively inexpensive too.

Haha...well this thread just cost me about 15 bucks. I collected cards alot as a kid but havent messed with them much since late 90s. I just bought 3 packs of 1982 topps off ebay on an impulse. I just saw them and knew the Ripken RC is in the set. Anyone tell me if 15 bucks shipped is a bad deal for these (assuming they are authentic)?

1983 Topps Wax Box
Last night I opened a wax box of 1983 Topps. I was hoping for the Gwynn, Boggs and Sandberg RCs.
About halfway through, I opened a pack and the Sandberg was the card facing the wax - and contained wax residue. Then I flipped the cards over and the Gwynn was on the other side - with a stick of gum firmly stuck to the back. Damnit. I did get a Boggs - very OC unfortunately - and another Gwynn - OC as well. Didn't get another Sandberg, but plenty of other HOFs. Fun stuff opening old wax. Last week I opened a box of 89 Topps and 12 packs of 90 Donruss. Even though these cards aren't 'worth' anything, they were the ones I collected as a kid. So the nostalgia was worth it. Have a box of 1984 Topps wax and a 1982 Topps cello box sitting on my table calling my name...

In the early 1980's I opened several older packs.
1968 wax - pulled a Willie Mays 1959 cello - all commons 1962 wax - all commons 1971 rack - Munson, Jackson 1973 vending high number box - 3 full runs including 3 Schmidts plus extras 1975 rack - Ryan HL, Jackson 1954 Bowman Football wax - Creekmur (HOFer) 1964 Phila Football Cello - Horning, Warfield 1972 Basketball half box - 2 Ervings, Chamberlain, 2 Jabbars, and a lot of other stars. It was a lot of fun back then when older packs were affordable. Robert Last edited by philliesfan; 12-20-2017 at 02:39 PM.

Sorry if I posted this
A few of the exhibit cello packs back in the 90s Pulled Mays and Mantle. There was a pack with Mantle on top, probably out of my price range then...and now

The oldest pack-age I opened was BOND BREAD in the Fall of 1947. Here are some of the cards from my complete set......
 I got my first colorful cards BB in the Spring of 1949 from LEAF penny packs......    And, the most memorable is this 5-cent pack in the Fall of 1952......    TED Z T206 Reference . Last edited by tedzan; 12-20-2017 at 06:43 PM. Reason: Correct typo.
