Also, I am adding a wax wrapper from 1991 (last year of wax paper) on down as I complete my Topps sets. I have a 1969 on the way, so it is not pictured below.
I started this a few years ago and have enjoyed watching the collection grow. The 1975 pack is GAI authenticated. 1976 through 1991 were bought from BBCE, so they are authentic and unopened. Every series, along with traded/update series are included in the pack run.
The first picture is the wax wrapper collection. Many even have gum behind the wrapper! The following pictures are the pack run.

Great Idea, I think I will start a project like yours with my 6 year old boy and 9 year old girl. Both love collecting old and new stuff. I was born in 1970, so I think I will start/ end there from 2013 on down pretty reasonable project until you reach the 1970's. Should been fun
Thanks
