Even though I wasn't born until 1960, I managed to open a 1951 Bowman football wax pack and entire box of 1957 Topps football high number cellos back in the 1970s when I was a teenager. The '51 pack had a card of Buddy Young, and the gum had pretty much turned to dust. The '57s had all three superstar rookies, Hornung, Starr and Unitas. I only paid $15 for the box of '57s, but opening it remains the worst financial decision of my life.
