1976 Topps baseball wax pack - I was 8 years old. I bought a pack at the drug store my older sister worked at. Got a card of my favorite player, on my favorite team - Brooks Robinson, Baltimore Orioles. I took it home and showed my dad. He thought it was cool too. I was totally hooked. I was so excited by it, that I gathered up all the money/change I had around the house and got my sister to take me back to the store the next day and bought as many packs as I had money for - probably about 10-15 packs. If I remember correctly the packs cost 10-15 cents each that year. I still have that 1976 Brooks and after everything else is sold off years from now - I will still have that particular card.
