About 15-20 years ago, I bought a 1954 Bowman FB 1 cent pack that had a mint Otto Graham. Other than that I have had terrible luck opening packs so I stopped.

1966 Topps Football. PSA 7 Namath. Many 8's and 9 commons still in my set today. And at least 20 boxes of 1966 Monster Laffs. Prolly put together 5 sets of those. I do remember opening a 1963 Fleer Football box but can't remember what I pulled. 1965 Tall Boy football. Still have all the Bills from that box. 1964 Topps football. Still have those cards but some how they all are creased in the middle. 1966 Topps baseball. All those except the Yankees and orioles made it into my bike spokes or the inside of my baseball hat to keep the shape.

1954 Bowman Football for me too.

No Graham, but the gum was deelicious.

Stautner was the card.

Not baseball but I opened 2 79 Topps hockey packs about 10 years ago...paid $20 each and got a Gretzky rookie and a Howe.A 1970 Topps basketball with a Maravich rookie showing through the back...kept closed and sold it.Baseball 1973 Topps ..a Palmer.Pack cost me $15 at the time.I think pre 1976 packs are priced such that unless you get the key card you will lose $$$.But is sure tempting to do.
I wish I had the spare money to relive my 2 favorite pack opening experiences...1971 with the tin coin..my 1st packs and 1975 ..the 1st year I actually collected /completed a set from packs.Memories of going through rack packs at the toy store trying to find those last evasive cards.Those days are gone but they were very cool.

What dealer these days has the best vintage selection of the pre 1976 packs? Reading the posts about the 1950's packs being opened was pretty cool.You guys must have been nervous as hell...like russian roullette.
