Topps Fun Pack Bags - Have these been cataloged?

Has anyone cataloged all of the Topps Fun Pack Bags from the 1970's thru early 1980's? I've seen the $1.50, $3.00, and $5.00 bags.

A bunch of bags with 1978 Topps Football and 1976 Hockey (which I think was actually 1978 hockey) hit the market a couple of years ago. I know that 1979 Topps Hockey and 1980-81 Topps Basketball have shown up as well. I'm trying to figure out if those packs were legit or just used the wrapper from that year (like 1981 Topps FB in 1979 wrappers).

1979-80 Topps Hockey did indeed come in the Fun Bags. That how I got my Gretzky and the majority of a set back in the day. The local Zayre was selling them at $0.25 apiece on closeout because they were a leftover Halloween item. My dad was coming home with one everyday for a couple of weeks. The ones with 79-80 Topps Hockey should also come with some mix of: Moonraker, Black Hole & You'll Die Laughing, Can't remember any others.

As a 9-10 year old I lacked the wisdom to save any of them unopened.

I look at a number of things I opened as a child and wonder what would have been. My dad bought 3-4 cases of cards in the mid-late 80s and had the chance to buy cases of early to mid 70s Topps cards for chump change compared to what they are going for now. What if...
