It's always fun watching vintage breaks. Too bad no Mantle, but I bet it was still a blast and a rush to open those old cards

It was just over $400.00 for the pack. It was pretty steep.
Thanks for the info on the players!!!!! Very interesting.
I checked the players out to see who was still alive and what not and I think it was Boros, who passed away 2 days before we opened this pack.

One of my past (retired) military supervisors from the mid 1990s was a good friend of Sal Maglie's son. They grew up together and were childhood friends. From what I understand, the son didn't have a close relationship with Sal because of all the traveling due to baseball. Needless to say, I remember picking up 1950's Sal Maglie cards for my supervisor when I could find them so he could give them to his friend as a gift since he had none of his dad's cards.
