Default If you could open a box...

Posted By: Bob

I'd go with 1969 Topps too, although part of me wants to say 1967 since I never got to do that in real life. 1969 Topps was the first year where I had enough cash to buy an entire wax box on my own ($1.20 was six comic books--opportunity cost was steep). I would also go back to the location where I opened the box--Creek Road and Reading in Sharonville, outside Zinecker's drug store (building is still there, although now I think it's the public library). Would have to be unseasonably cool, deep royal-blue sky, mid-morning, a weekday.....actually that describes every day in the summer when you're a kid.
