What's the oldest wax pack you've opened?

Not sexy, but ‘86 Topps from my childhood. I was 9. Back then you could get cards at my local 7-11 or the Cashion’s Grocery Store in beautiful downtown Cornelius, NC. They were 35 cents a pack. Originals from my surviving childhood collection (including Reggie Jackson, Dale Murphy, and Pete Rose) are identified as such by the thumbtack holes in them which ones affixed the cards to the bulletin board in my childhood room.

When I was probably 25, I bought a couple of ‘86 Topps Wax boxes from the LCS just for shytes and giggles. It was fun for an hour or so to just rip wax and slowly go thru the cards, whose corners I never cared much about a couple decades earlier. I did have to shy away from the concrete gum, though.

I think the packs I most vividly remember opening were the original "Black Bat" Batman cards. Something about the amazing artwork and the gum smell that permeated the cardboard was intoxicating to my young senses.
