I have $100 to spend to fill my stocking with 80's unopened from BBCE, Help me decide--UPDATED with

So my wife just informed me that she wanted to put about $100 in opened packs and such in my stocking this year. Rather than go to Target and buy blasters, she asked if I wanted to get some older stuff from BBCE. Help me decide what to order from Steve tomorrow. Hoping he will cut me a little break and allow me to maximize my money.
My thoughts after viewing BBCE site are and making some assumptions on what Steve will charge me for the following:
1 QTY- 83 Donruss Wax Box- $62 EA..
6 QTY- 89 Score Football- $6.30 EA.
Let me know what you would choose.
Thanks in advance.

Always looking for Chipper Jones cards.
Im a very focused collector of cards from 1909 - 2012...LOL
let me start by saying you have THE coolest Wife around! even knowing what bbce is is incredible! lol
i think you should go the more packs, not full box route. the thing i like most about ripping lose packs vs
whole boxes on pre-insert wax is the possibility of hitting some stars across a number of releases.
What i mean is, sure you can rip a whole box of '83 Donruss and possibly hit one of each of the Gwynn/Sandberg/Boggs,
but if thats what youre going for, picking up a factory set might be a "better bet"
Ripping 80s wax is not about pulling a "hit" as much as it is enjoying it (especially if one collected through the decade)
sorry for the ramble

1 rack pack from 1980 - 1987 would be $56
88 & 89 are sold in full boxes, 1 of each would be $20
Total of 56 Topps rack packs for $76. The extra $24 would cover shipping.
Early 80s Topps baseball is always my favorite way to go
