    For every pack that has one of the big rookies in that is when you should eat the gum 😂😂😂

    That was actually an amazing break if you factor in that the set is 792 cards and you pulled the main three rookies from 83 in Gwynn, Boggs and Sanberg in only 9 packs - the odds of that are pretty crazy. I mean pulling all three out of a full wax box is difficult considering there are only 540 cards in a box... Also, you forgot that both Joe Carter and Eric Davis rookies are also in 85 Topps as well..

    OMG the 1985 Topps Rusty Kuntz card is classic. A PSA 10 should be worth more then a Trout RC card!

    I love 83 TOPPS, (Also 83 FLEER), one of my all time favorites. Probably because that's really the first year I had an allowance and I spent so much of it on baseball cards and comics.

    I think the '85 had been serached. Out of all those packs you didn't get a single USA card? No Davis, Gooden or Saberhagen? Other than the Mattingly, you didn't much of anything. Maybe I'm wrong, but I usually got at least one USA card. Great pulls on the '83 packs.

    It’s definitely a possibility. The first several packs were duds. The 83 packs surely made up for that though. Thanks for watching.
