I got a pack at a birthday party as a "grab bag" gift, with some candy. The first card I saw was Rico Carty. The second card I saw was Rickey Henderson. Still have them. | ||
1980 Topps is the first pack I opened that I bought with my own money. mowed a lawn and knew that was the first thing I was going to do with my money. | ||
These are the first cards I ever bought; 4 packs for a dollar at the 7-Eleven. Kept them bundled together in rubber bands. I always liked cards with the players' autographs on the front. | ||
