How's this for a birthday?

Apparently, like everyone else I just had a birthday. I turned the big 40 on Saturday. Half of my birthday prize appears below. The other half was a GAI Mint 9 unopened 1973 wax pack. Some wife, huh?

Then, with a little birthday cash I got from my mom, I purchased a couple boxes of 2004 Topps. I snagged autographs of Austin Kearns, Jose Vidro, and a jersey card of Jason Giambi.

All in all, a 40th birthday to remember.

Thanks

    That's a beautiful Clemente -- happy birthday!

    What series is your wax pack?
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    Thanks! I think the Clemente is beautiful as well. She did a great job finding a nice card. I doubt I could have done as well.

    As for the wax pack, the GAI label is silent regarding what series it is from. I think that in 1973, probably late in the year, Topps issued some boxes containing cards from all series. Possibly, the pack is from one of those boxes. But, I am unsure. The pack shows a catcher raising his mask.

    I found a scan of a similar pack:

    My wife's afraid to buy anything for my collection. I'm so particular and the prices are so high she's just afraid to make a mistake.

    Her gift to me is letting me do whatever I want.......when it comes to collecting that is. image

    Treat your woman right. She's a winner.

    Great Clemente and 73 pack! Are you going to open it or leave it sealed? I didn't receive any packs but i did open four 72 Topps Hockey packs all GAI 9 and it was a blast.

    Happy Birthday!image

    David,

    Your picture was a little fuzzy so I enhanced it: image

    Vargha and Virtualizard: That is a classic. Of course, had that been involved on my birthday, I would have been to busy to post or too happily dead to post. image

    Superpunk: Thanks for the kind wishes. Happy Birthday to you as well. I don't plan on opening the pack as of now. I'm putting together a 1973 PSA set. My wife bought the package because she thought an unopened, graded pack would be a perfect complement. Can't say I disagree.

    Thanks
