most disappointing card in a pack ?

[Harliduck]

As a kid in the late 70's buying packs...same as mentioned...Checklists, Leader Cards, Team Pics...all got no respect...


The biggest "frustration" as a kid for me is easy...when 1981 Donruss came out...at first, I was excited my corner store had ALL THREE brands...Topps, Fleer, and those 81 Donruss cards...the frustration came when I bought a box of Donruss...and there were Doubles IN THE SAME PACK!

1969 Topps, packs were still a nickel, so my grandmother would give me a$1 and I could get 20 packs. This was early in the year, so 1st series and I swear Al McBean was in every other pack and I had NO idea who he was.....

Yea, those 68 T game, 69 T deckle....they were such small sets...it wasn't long before you were getting doubles of those insert cards..especially if you were opening a few packs a day !

Yeah, those first 81 Donruss boxes that came out were brutal.

Of the 3, I liked the Donruss front design the best (not a fan of the half-assed stat lines on the back), but breaking boxes was rough.

Yeah some youtuber recently opened a 81D box and got the same pack over and over, only about 100 unique cards.

My neighborhood friends are I were opening packs like crazy in 1976.

Seemed like there was a Pat Dobson-Traded card in every pack! There would be an audible groan every time we got one.
