My big years for ripping open packs was mid to late 60's. Being a Mets fan I was excited to get any Met plus any of the big stars like Mantle, Mays, Aaron. When a new series came out my parents would let me get a box. Dont remember maybe there were 24 packs to a box. Was always trying to get the cards I didnt have by flipping or trading. Doubles ended up in bike spokes. Fun times.

Most valuable that I pulled as a kid was probably Cal Ripken Jr. Topps and Donruss rookie cards that I pulled in 2007 buying wax packs. I bought so many packs it would have been cheaper to just buy them outright, but 12 year old me was deadset on getting them the old fashioned way.

I started ripping wax in 1977 and though some years were more focused than others, quit around 1989. Not sure what the most valuable card I pulled from a wax/cello/rack pack was, but I guarantee that it was worth more when I pulled it than it is now. In the 1980's, pulling a Mattingly, Strawberry, Gooden, Ripken, UD Griffey or other hot RC was like a winning lottery ticket.
