What is the most valuable card you have that you pulled from a wax pack as a child?

I spent a lot of my allowance on packs. I still have most of my childhood collection. i don’t think any of those cards are more than $8 today. Some of my better ones from the mid-80s are dinged up too much to be anything. Oh! I just remembered I have a Jerry Rice RC from a pack that survived the satchel bag I kept my football cards in. It’s probably worth around $25-$30.
35 years, almost a dollar per year in value gain! So glad I bought all those packs!

I was just thinking....
Given that my wife is always reminding me that I still act like a child, I think it's totally valid for me to count the time a couple of years after we were married and she attended a National with me in 1994. At that show, I walked up to Mark Murphy's table, bought a 1986 Fleer basketball pack out of a freshly opened box, and proceeded to pull a Jordan rookie card. And of course I proceeded to act like a child opening a prized present on Christmas morning. Thus, I think this card should count!
