This is the info card that came with the package, detailing its contents.
This card was also included this month, promoting an 80's cruise! That sounds like so much fun. It also has a promotional code for $250 worth of free onboard credit!
Bobby Fischer Chess Club T-Shirt - Value $15?
The Bobby Fischer chess craze was before my time, but I have learned about it since as I am a fan of all stories with bizarre endings. He was the champion of the most famous chess championship game of all times in 1972, in which he won against the USSR reigning champion Boris Spassky. It was apparently a big Cold War victory for the US. After he eventually lost his championship title, he became reclusive and got into trouble with the IRS, which is probably why I know about him at all. This is a very cool t-shirt, and a Retro Pop Box exclusive! The tees from Retro Pop Box are available in ladies' sizes, and they have a nice, flattering cut.
Every month, one of the items in the 70's Retro Pop Box is designated the "Fun Fact Item," and this month it's the t-shirt. This little sticker with the fun fact was stuck to the tee in my box.
Regal Beagle Pint Glass - Value $10?
This glass is another Retro Pop Box exclusive, so the value is an estimate. Ah, the Regal Beagle, iconic pub of the 1970's! I watched the TV show "Three's Company" in syndication later on, and I remember the Regal Beagle as the hangout of those zany young adults very well. I love it!
Laverne & Shirley Patch - Value $5?
Another exclusive item! Speaking of TV, of course I also watched Laverne and Shirley in syndication later on, too. Laverne always had all of her tops monogrammed with an L! Just like this one! I really like this as a piece of nostalgia, but not 100% sure what to do with it.
Rainbow Toe Socks- Value 11.99
OMG! Rainbow Toe Socks! I don't think I've actually even seen these since the 1970's. I had a pair of these when I was a little girl. I know they're hideous, but I still love them. I promise I won't wear them outside the house.
Water Basketball Arcade Game - Value $2.98
I remember these games from when I was little, too. This is cute and fun. You may find this hard to believe, but I've caught both of my sons playing with this when they could have just as easily been playing really expensive video games. Amazing.
Verdict: I love my 70's Retro Pop Box! Every month so far has felt like the best month ever, but then I look back and have to admit that they have all been awesome! The value this month is around $45, which is great for a $25 box. Catch you on the flip side!
