This posting is timely with Halloween just over. I was 14 years old in 1980 and Halloween just ended at our house, not having as many kids come as planned a bag of wax Hockey cards my mother was going to give was extra, so knowing I collected Baseball cards she gave them to me. One of those wax packs had a Wayne Gretzky rookie. I still have all the cards from that bag as well as all the wrappers.
Edit: Getting ready for bed, I realized I left something out about the bag of wax cards. This was a mixed Hockey/Basketball, so along with the Gretzky rookie card I also know one Basketball wax pack had the 1979-1980 Bird scoring leader card and if I remember correctly a Magic Johnson card (not his rookie card but I think a scoring leader too.) Along with all the wrappers saved, I also saved the bag the cards came in. It's really cool looking at the bag the wax cards came in with a price of $1.59...lol (how times have changed) Last edited by Babe3Ruth3; 11-02-2019 at 11:21 PM.

'64 Koufax
I was 9 years old in '64 and can recall switching from buying candy at the Bay Pharmacy in Pacific Palisades, CA to buying Topps 5 cent wax packs....of course being in SoCal and the burbs of LA, I didn't want Mickey, but rather yearned for Sandy. To my chagrin, I can remember that amongst the first few packs purchased I got my wish........#200 with Sandy's smiling portrait gleaming at me. How special, as the prior Fall, was privileged to be at Chavez for game 4 Sandy vs. Whitey. 2-1 Koufax. Complete game for SWEEEEEEEEP over bombers. Total dominance in '63 and in WS. Sandy was the greatest, and pulling his '64 Topps #200 certainly one of my fondest memories.
