#1 Opening a 1974 Topps Football Fun Pack

Image
  Welcome to my first post. I guess this title might be better as you get what you pay for. Today, I received a pack of 1974 Topps football from an auction site.  I was overjoyed with the find and paid the 10+ dollars to have the item sent to me. I know I should have real the description but I was looking forward to finding those elusive hard to get cards. When I opened the pack, I only found gum and two cards.  Two Cards ?!?! Did I miss something? Those wax packs usually have ten cards. Now i get to go back and do the research. There in the description is the word FUN PACK. Fun pack?!?! What's the fun in only finding two cards and a destroyed piece of gum? Needless to say, I have been collection cards since the late 70's. I have never come across anything like this. To a collector, this is inhumane. Ten plus dollars for two cards that don't even hit the $2 mark combined. I am happy to get the cards as I only have a few from that set, but I was hoping for a few more cards...
