A few years ago I opened a '62 pack. And ate the gum.
Mistake on both counts.

Back in the 1990's there was a 1954 Bowman find and I bought a 1 cent pack and got an Otto Graham. I wish I still had it.

Probably opened a couple boxes worth of 1961 Nu-Card Football back in the late 80's. Also, maybe a Cello Box worth of 1970 Topps.

Default 1981 Fleer IA Football
I've opened more than 1 box of 1981 Fleer In Action Football. Silly but I'm looking for PSA worthy cards.

Even though I wasn't born until 1960, I managed to open a 1951 Bowman football wax pack and entire box of 1957 Topps football high number cellos back in the 1970s when I was a teenager. The '51 pack had a card of Buddy Young, and the gum had pretty much turned to dust. The '57s had all three superstar rookies, Hornung, Starr and Unitas. I only paid $15 for the box of '57s, but opening it remains the worst financial decision of my life.

There was an unopened cello box of 47'-66 exhibits. I picked 3 packs and pulled Mantle and May's. I can say I pulled a mantle rookie....photo. he was pictured in the 51 uniform, not sure what pose

For me it was a 1958 cello pack due to knowing there was a high probability of pulling this card. Once again the centering gods punished me

I got one of those packs as well and pulled the Blanda. It had 2 dinged corners and was O/C.
