I know that some of you have seen this before on this forum....but, I think it's worth repeating for those who have not.
In the Fall of 1952, I opened up a 1952 TOPPS Hi# waxpack to find these 5 cards...... ![]() After 64 years they remain in my 1952 Topps 525-card (Master) set. Need 30 more mid-Series Gray-backs to complete. ![]() ![]() TED Z . |

I bought a cello pack of 1980 topps about three years ago. The cello on the back was loose so I figured it was searched..............until I opend it and pulled the Henderson rookie. It graded a PSA 9. Needless to say, I was very happy.
Also in the early 1980's at a local flea market, I opened a few packs of 1967 Fleer Football. The packs back then were only $5.00 I think. Pulled several stars but I can't remember which ones other than a Paul Horning. Robert |

I purchased two boxes of 1986 DonRuss in 1990 and pulled a Canseco and a McGriff in the same pack. As soon as I hit those two I told my buddy he could have the last two packs. Of course what does he immediately pull? You guessed it, another Canseco. I ended up pulling two Canseco's, two Fielders, and a McGriff. Sold the other box at a show a couple weeks later and purchased my first 89 UD Griffey and a box of 1990 Leaf which yielded me my first Frank Thomas. Man did I have the bug. Of course any one of these cards can be purchased for $10-$15 everyday all day on Ebay.

About 10 or 12 years ago I bought one pack of 1986 Topps football at a card shop for 18.00 and pulled a Jerry Rice rookie. It was worth 100.00 at the time.

My late friend had a big deal w Mr. Mint years back and the day before, he sold me some 1965 cello packs for ten bucks each
![]() ended up opening them of course and getting Clemente,Maris, McCovey and Koufax among the cards. Damn, wish I had those gorgeous cards or the packs still. I know you are resting in peace too Famous Neil. We all miss you.a One of a kind person
