If you could open one Baseball wax pack from the 80s....

[ThoseBackPages]

can open anything from the 80's on a whim.. not like they are hard to find or will break the bank so I choose none. I opened enough of that junk in the 80's so no need for it now.

"junk" started in 1986. 1980 Topps Boxes are $330. buy me one?

'84 Donruss - loved the design and a huge Mattingly fan
'82 Topps - my first cards and still a fave

I have a soft spot for '82 Fleer and '86 Donruss as well. If forced to pick one from all these, probably '86 Don. Just cool seeing a whole stack of them with that lined design along the edges. And of course Canseco with the cheeseball mustache.

1987 Topps. The first pack I opened. Loved the wood theme!

1989 UD. Griffey RC.

89 UD error packs. I've always wanted a Dale Murphy reverse negative.

1983 Topps for the RC triumvirate

1987 Topps, I opened sooooooo much of that stuff. First packs I ever bought. Still my favorite!

84 Donruss. That is my favorite card design of the 80's.

I opened all of the 80's wax. Back then it was the only way to make a set, bust tons of wax and hope that your friends pulled the cards you needed for your set. My favorite has to be 87 Topps. The design was outstanding and easy on the eyes for autographs.

Thanks,

While I wouldn't open it, I'd really like a PSA 9 1980 OPC baseball wax pack.

1980 Topps because those are the packs my Dad would buy me every day on the way home from my Grandmother"s house. I think they were like .35 or something back then.

1985 Topps because those were the first packs I started buying with "my money" and my friends and I were chasing Doc Gooden rookies along with our fav players (Boggs, Mattingly, Puckett, and D. Murphy). Back then we would trade straight up for our favorites without any worrries about BV and such. If I got a Puckett I would give it to my friend Mike and when he came across a Boggs he would give it to me. To this day Mike has books full of Puckett rookies!

My all time favorite looking set back then was the 1987 Fleer. For whatever reason I thought these cards were cool. A close second would have been 85 Donruss with the black borders.

That's exactly what I would open for the exact same reason. Great minds think alike!

1984 Donruss. If you are too young or if you've never opened a pack of 84 Donruss buy one and rip into it. There was/is nothing like it.

1989 Topps it was a great design to me.

1989 Topps it was a great design to me.

Don't say this too loud because you might have 4,000 cases dropped on your lawn soon.

Had to check for myself just for fun...1980 wax was a quarter

...and cellos were a bank-breaking .39!!
