I also assume all these wax packs were being packed by hands and not machine, correct? .....i don't know.

Whether you were a Yankees fan or not, when Mickey Mantle came to bat in the 1950's - 1960's, you had a sense of excitement. Was he going to hit a tremendous 500 - 600 ft. HR ?
You had to see him play to appreciate this phenomena. I did see him play, both on TV or at Yankee Stadium. And yes, my Mantle cards (from the 1950's) show lots of love-and-wear.
