I had a 1959 One Cent pack for a while but I never opened it. I did discover though that if you held it up to a bright enough light you could see through the wrapper. There was Ray Narleski staring at me through some wax. I left him right where he was.

About 10 years ago my father found 6 unopened 1972 cello packs in the basement. He used to get the Sunday papers and bring me back cards. he must have bought these and forgot. There were a large number of really nice cards but no major hits like a Fisk rookie. I still have them all.

I'm guessing that the significance of 52T Mantle #311 is that Mantle's batting average for the 1952 season coincidentally ended up at .311

Searching the cabinet for something to eat in early 80's, found a box of 1962 Junkett Jello with a coin. Opened it and got Brooks Robinson. My stepmom never threw anything out.

My brother pulled a Blanda rookie out of a 1954 Bowman pack in the early 90's

311 = my birthday, one of my favorite bands, and, apparently is a code for the Ku Klux Klan (KKK = 3x the 11th letter in the alphabet). I only learned about the KKK connection after someone pointed this out to me when I was playing on Pokerstars back in the day with my userid of h2oya311 . My guess is that none of these are the significance that Ted speaks of with respect to #311 of the '52 Topps set.
