Six pack of tomato seeds 30 years ago!

Ya its been a long time since I had the idea to sell a six pack of tomato seeds in a envelope! Tomato seeds are really cheap if you buy a standard like rutgers that has a11000 seeds per ounce. At that time I think they were like $12 a ounce! I put 2 dozen seeds of 6 types together in 6 packet and sold them in a white envelope for like $3 over 30 years go. I did get some rders from several magazine adds I had. I called it a six pack to go and still have some of the acks. I doubt if the seeds will still grow. The varieties were rutgers. a white tomato plus a yellow tomato! I got the pack right here. It was called Moff's Big Ten Seed Company and had a picture of 3 red tomatoes on a white envelope! It also had a face of a guy with the word in red across his face of LOOK! Only $2.00! It was 8 packs of 3 dozen seeds per pack Over 280 seeds in all . see how memories fade away!! The varities were New Yorker, Campbells 1327, Heinz 1350, Roma VF, Rutgers, Golden Sunray, Pink pondersa and Snowball white! anyway that is how I first got interested in tomato seeds! The seeds in that pack cost me about 25 cents! Does anyone remember any of these tomatoes? Most are still around!
