I made it about 100 feet from the store, and about 300 feet from my friends house before I opened the cards. How someone** could have an unopened pack of cards for 30+ years I could never understand.
I still have a 1978 Topps unopened pack that I saved back then (I was 12) and have kept all these years. I put it on a shelf in my closet until I went away to college, then put it with my baseball cards. I also have a ton of 1979 Topps baseball wrappers that I saved.

This inspired me to open my 1972 O-P-C pack. Got two Clementes and can't believe how sharp and crisp the cards are, especially the backs.
Wish i had another to open!
