Nice packs, Al! The 1970 and 1971 packs used to show up more regularly, but have seemed to dry up in the last 5 or 6 years. Am guessing the cloth patches wrapper and pack would also be from about 1970 and 1971, based on the teams shown and the price.
I have wondered whether perhaps the 1978 packs were sold with a 1970 or 1971 wrapper, but I would think that the 10 cent price tag wouldn't have been viable in 1978. I do see wax wrapper residue on some of my 1978 cards, so clearly they were sold in wax packs. There is lots of unopened material from the late 70s, so seems like someone would have hung onto a box or a pack, but then again, the Good Humor man was probably an unusual vehicle for sales, and it must have been a very short run.
