Best Mail Week In Longer Than I Can Remember

Well, will be the best mail week next week when the items arrive.
(1) 1985 Topps Mark McGwire PSA 9 (w/o the "off centering" qualifier found on most)
(1) Factory Sealed 1985 Topps Baseball Wax Box
McGwire's my favorite player, so I've been trying to get these items for longer than I can remember. To this day, my favorite/most valuable (sentimental wise) card is the first 1985 Topps Mark McGwire olympic RC I pulled out of a wax pack when I was a kid.
I'm going to give some of the packs to a friend who loves McGwire as much as I do, save some/most in a safe place (once McGwire reaches the HOF, these should be worth even more), and of course open a few, hoping to find more McGwire RCs.
I've opened more than my share of "modern" packs, and they just don't compare to the "old" stuff- (1) there's no gum (I loved the Topps gum), (2) the GU/auto/#ed/refractor hype's led to insane prices, and (3) there's no wax...opening foil's just not the same, at least not to me.
