Some early notes:
  • This is a LOT of packs
  • These packs have GUM in them. 30+ year old gum.
  • I remember when this gum was new. It wasn't even good then.
  • The gum stained the top card in each pack, so those will go to the shredder
  • That still leaves us 4,600+ cards
  • The gum in the tightly wrapped packs have also warped the cards slightly
  • I think the warp will go away if I put the cards tightly in a box
  • 4 boxes in, and I have 7 complete sets, plus well on the way to several more
  • These are so old, the stickers aren't sticky anymore.
  • Good thing I don't have 100 30 year old sticker yearbooks I was looking to fill
  • These plastic wrappers are a bit of a pain. Next buy may need to be REAL wax packs
  • This is gonna take a while!
