It's since been sold, but I do still have many of the original wax pack cards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273294324760825141.post-77883329821028286862009-03-17T12:38:00.000-04:002009-03-17T12:38:00.000-04:00I'm working on the 1970 set as well, but I'm only ...I'm working on the 1970 set as well, but I'm only about 45% of the way there.
