The cards I remember from my first pack in 1978: Don Aase, Pete Mackanin and the Stolen Base Leaders card. Don't know why I remember those three.
The first non-pack card I ever bought was in the summer of 1983, I discovered in "downtown" Barberton something new. A card shop. A store that only sold cards. My dad thought it was the most absurd thing he had ever seen. I begged my mom practically all summer to take me. Around my birthday she took me and I bought my first non-pack card - 1976 Gary Carter for $1. Still have it.
