Besides wax trays, I've become more intrigued and interested in the rack pack. I remember as a kid seeing these hanging on hooks and going through them looking for my favorite players, etc. (usually Chicago Cubs). I don't have much of a collection yet, but here is one of my favorite racks from my collection.

image

I've even thought about collecting a rack pack from every year starting with 1975. Show me some of your favorite racks (keep it rated G) image

    Snorto,

    A Giants fan would burn that rack without hesitating because Joe P (of "the fumble" infamy) is showing on top!

    I was at a game in 2012 wher ethey brought back a lot of old Giants, and when they introduced him the boos
    were just as loud as they were in the 1970s!

    Nice, Abe! Dorsett is the reason I am a football fan... ever since I saw him break that monster run against the Vikings on Monday Night Football in 1983. BBCE luck of the draw just so happened to bring me a 1983 Topps rack with T.D. showing and I contemplated doing a run, but decided I have more than enough "projects" going on already.
