I counted at least ten seperate wrappers. I can see at least two seperate stacks of cards we made. One had a 7th series #586 Claude Raymond on top. The other stack had a 6th Series John O'Donoghue on top. My parents had bought cards from two different late series and probably put them in our stockings!!! Wow I sure wish I had the original cards from that day.

We’ll need you to post these pictures 😀

Your reference to Del Crandall was hilarious. It made me think of the 1966 Johnny Keane manager card. He looks absolutely ancient, but if the photo was taken during the 1965 season, he was only 53 years old...53!!!!!!!

The '62 Topps Gil Hodges is another one. Dude looks like he's 70...he was actually 37 or 38.
