I do the same. I enjoy opening the late 80s packs just for the fun of that.
Several years ago I went through a heavy case-breaking phase where I bought 1989, 1900 and 1991 Topps sealed cases cheaply from BBCE.
I busted every pack! Took several months but so much fun. I kept all the hall of famers and key rookies. I now have about 50 each of Johnson, Biggio, Smoltz, Thomas, Chipper, etc. I'm not sure where they'll end up -- but there have to be some kids out there that will some day want these hall of famers and rookies.
My oldest grandson is only five so not yet following baseball so it will be a while before we can open wax boxes together but I will do what I can do to keep the tradition alive.
