John the 1981 Donruss mention reminded me of two stories from that year. I pulled one pack that had 8 Pete Rose cards and 9 Mike Schmidt cards. I remember sitting back and thinking is this good or bad?
I got so tired of having to throw one card away out of each pack because their gum literally sealed itself to the top card that I wrote a letter to the company complaining. One afternoon I got the mail with a letter apologizing for that fact and a small Super Bubble decal was enclosed. I thought wow that was a weak effort of their part. About an hour later a UPS truck pulled up out front and the driver delivered a large box with four wax boxes inside! Then I really thought wow!
